Review summary

We were on the New York, New England and Canada cruise. The cruise itinerary was great. We traveled in late October. The optimal time would have been September when the leaves were changing. But overall, the five ports were nice had it not been for rain and freezing temperatures. I celebrated my birthday during the cruise. It was nice having hundreds of people say happy birthday!

Entertainment

The Pop Rock Opera show was great and very popular. It was very crowded. They should have at least two shows of that type so everyone has a chance to see it.

No problems. Roommate had a sprained ankle but we were aided off the ship, helped with luggage and put in a taxi. Great!
