June 2018 - 7 Night Canada & New England (Cape Liberty Roundtrip) Cruise on Adventure of the Seas
We just got off the Adventure of the Seas for a New England/Canada cruise. The ship embarked in Bayonne, NJ with stops in Portland, ME; Bar Harbor, ME; Saint Johns and Halifax Canada. An all around good cruise.
May 2017 - 7 Night Bermuda (Boston Roundtrip) Cruise on Norwegian Dawn
We were on the 5/26 sailing on the NCL Dawn Boston to Bermuda. Check-in was easy and our cabin was ready when we arrived on the ship.
We had an ocean view cabin and I found it to be on the small side, as well as the bathroom to be extremely small. I did love the lemongrass bar soap supplied!
The food was good. There were several dishes that were served every night, and several nightly changes. By the end of the week we were basically tired of the same thing. Desserts were delish! We had eaten at the Venetian, Aqua, O'Sheehans, and the buffet.
Entertainment was very good. I especially enjoyed the Karaoke in the Bliss Lounge. It was quite entertaining!
The pool was small compared to those on other ships, however, there was an abundance of pool chairs available.
Our cabin steward, Raymond, was excellent! The room was clean, always plenty of towels, ice, and the best towel animals! Service on the entire ship was outstanding!
The one thing that I did not like on this ship was the layout. It was a little confusing and didn't seem to flow as nicely as other ships. Just my opinion...
We enjoyed the cruise very much and would definitely do this cruise again.,

Cruise tips
Halifax is a decent size city. There are a couple of shops at the pier and a farmers market. We rode a Hop on-Hop off bus and went to Willmans to eat. The food was good and reasonably priced.
This was a cute port. We did our excursion, Saint John Highlights, then had lunch near the pier on a suggestion of a local. We ate at Steamers, just a short walk from the pier. (Take a left when exiting the terminal, walk down the street about half a mile and across the street.) Great food at a great price! Also right near the terminal was a large white tent with lots of souvenir venders inside.
Super cute port that I wish we had more time to visit! Fortunately I don't live very far from the port and I can drive to this port to fully appreciate it. We did the Acadia National Park tour and didn't like it much. Two and a half hours to reach the summit of Cadillac Mountain, 10 minutes up there, then 45 minute ride back to town. It was a beautiful view but not quite what we expected. Still a great port thought!
