Nice time. Only criticism is the bus. Very little room between seats ( worse than an airplane) no drop down for drink or pouch for anything else. Like a wallet, phone, book,etc
By anne n for GoodLife Programs - Newport Christmas Mansions - Thurs 12/12/24 on Dec 22, 2024
The trip delivered what was stated: an expert bus driver who negotiated the roads competently, the hotel accommodations were clean, large with lots of windows and most friendly staff with a great tasting large breakfast provided for the one night stay. Beyond the stated, we found the mix of travelers most pleasant, the Salem COA staff responsive and kind and of course the Rockettes an extravaganza!
By Susan Y for Salem Sr Ctr - Christmas NY Style w/Radio City Rockettes 12/8-12/9/24 on Dec 19, 2024
Food was good, chicken nice and tender (not dry). I know they have a lot of people to feed, still it took 2 1/2 hr from arrival to start of the show. Long time to eat lunch. Kenny and Dolly were excellent - especially Kenny - he head a great voice and sounded (and looked!) just like Kenny. Dolly was very good also, but I had a hard tine hearing some of the words to the songs she sang.

The concert was great,. The performers were fantastic. The food was delicious. I had a great seat but was too close to the speaker. Hard to hear the song at times.
