North America Cruise Reviews

Our favorite part of this cruise were the destinations. We enjoyed Peggy's Cove a lot. But feel we were not given enough time there to see everything. By time we climbed the rocks and looked at the lighthouse we had to get back to the bus. 

Portland, Maine was terrific. The seafood there was the best! 

We did not see any fall folliage due to the very warm weather the leaves were still green. Regardless, the scenery was beautiful! 

The Enclave was exceptional, except for the first day, where none of the steam rooms and sauna was hot.  This was very disappointing, since the first day set the tone for the cruise.

All the staff were very helpful and friendly.  Particularly Emma Nixon who gave the best entertainments and made us feel like home onboard.  Our dinner server, Bosco and his team also gave us the best dinning experience.

Great job Carnival!

I would recommend this cruise to everyone. Every port visited was beautiful.  Great excursions everywhere.  The boat was great.  The accommodations, food, entertainment and staff were great.  I had a great time.

Beautiful ship. The beds were very hard we couldn't get a good nights rest. Buffet was Very good, rooms and balcony seem to have gotten smaller. loved Boston, stop at Halifax was too late every thing closed at 5-5:30 ship didn't leave port til 10 pm. a lot of people had excursions they couldn't do, very limited, beautiful port. casino area wasn't big enough for amount of slots and tables. All crew were very nice and helpful. We were too early for fall colors !

 Well let's start with the positive, the ports. My personal favorite was the bay of Fundy trail it's an absolute must do the park is newly opened and is truly a hidden gem there were so many things to see and do you should really research before you go.  The ship for me was a personal disappointment I didn't find anything great about it. To start with the food was inedible, my husband couldn't eat the meat portion of his dinner on about four occasions. I'm a vegetarian and  there was only one choice per restaurant. So if you didn't like what they were offering you were pretty much out of luck unless you wanted to go to the Windjammer Café upstairs.  The entertainment was good, the shopping with subpar a lot of cheap goods. Personally I will never go on anthem of the seas  again, I've been on other Royal Caribbean ships that I enjoyed much better.  Also I don't know if it was the timing or this particular cruise but the median age was probably around 68, there were a lot of scooters wheelchairs and walkers just thought it was worth a mention hardly any kids on this cruise .  I'm in my 50s and I felt like a spring chicken😊

The 10 day cruise was good overall.  We had Suite L107 (Deck 15) on the front of ship.  I would not recommend this suite, as it catches all of the wind, bumps, and has a partially blocked view from a public deck that literally people can look right into your balcony and stateroom.  The noise as the doors close in and out to this public observation deck is annoying as well.  This cabin is also below the fitness center so you get that noise as well.  I would not recommend this cabin.  The Carribean Princess was in dry dock 6 years ago, but in that short time it shows wear (or it was not a renovation during dry dock).  Public area windows were stained and dirty, a piece of railing was missing on the front and was blocked with wood 2X4's, the hull had visible rust in more than just a few places.

I would also recommend anyone taking this itinerary to consider starting in Quebec, coming in early and stay an extra day or two.  It was truly the highlight of the cruise.

The Princess is a beautiful ship, just a lot of people.  Our stateroom was adequate, a little smaller than some ships we have been on.  The food and service was excellent.  The ports were all very pictures and full of history and are very easy to visit without planned or organized tours.  We chose anytime dining as we could meet many different people and choose the time we wanted to eat according to the days schedule.

From the start when we talk to Leanne Ong and booked our trip we already satisfied the way Leanne explain the trip.....that is why we always call Vacation Outlet and booked our cruise through Leanne. Our trip was beautiful the weather was great no rain at all from NYC to Quebec....we enjoy very much Quebec and New York. We love you Vacation Outlet and Leanne from California.

the service was genuinely welcoming and caring. we enjoyed all the food we tried, except a disappointing evening in crown grill. no problem, they comped the meal.

(and no, judge judy, we did not eat the steak)

sabatini's was outstanding, and we had an amazing evening at the chef table

dinner. embarking and disembarking were seamless.

sadly, the weather wasn't kind but the people on our itinerary were.

if you get a chance, go to pete's pub in st john. great chat and colorful locals.

if you go to charlotte town, don't miss a tour of the falconry. those birds are

amazing.

Well I think I found the best of the best cruise line.

I guess you can say I've been on them all and there competitors.

This was our first Regent and it can't get any better.

We loved it so much that half way through our cruise we booked an Australia

Cruise.

From the minute you walked on until you left you were treated like the most important person on the ship.

The food, entertainment ,tours were all beyond our expectations.

We won't be trying another line anymore.

The entertainment was good especially "Really Not Tenors" who are probably the greatest show we have ever seen on a cruise. Lou Gazzara was also good. Don Wilson was funny. 

Our servers at the Cosmopolitan Restaurant (Table 223) were outstanding. Purnata, Luki and Laviniu were not only great servers but they were warm and gracious and they made our dining experience the best we have ever had on three different cruise lines.

On sea days we really enjoyed the whirlpool, indoor p[ool and sauna.

My favorite part of the cruise was the friendliness of the crew and guests. THe food was good, the staterooms were nice, and there were different activities.  THe only shore excursion we were disappointed in was the trip to the Sugar Shack.  THe food staff did a remarkable job of dealing with my allergies.  The people at the shore excursion and private shore excursion were excellent--we knew what to expect.  THe excursion we were not happy with we booked from home.

I would recommend this cruise to others.

We were so impressed with Captain Kate and her crew. They were the happiest, kindest, and closet crew we have ever met. The service they provide is top notch.

Dining experiences delicious, shows very entertaining due to talented singers, comedians, dancers, and cruise directors, and the staterooms well maintained.

We really enjoyed Boston, Bar Harbor, Quebec City, and Halifax the best.

We enjoyed the cruise very much. The service was excellent, especially our room steward Lito. The ports were all very nice, but I wish there was more time to spend at them, especially Boston.  Just felt like we didn't have time to see everything we wanted.  Overall, it's a nice cruise and the weather was great in mid September.

This was our 8th cruise from 4 different companies. This was our first carnival cruise. They didn't have great entertainment or a lot of thing going on like others we've been on, but then we paid a lot less too. Comedians were great! We chose anytime dining and we never waited to be seated but they were very slow getting the food to you. Burger joint was excellent! Recommended for those that are happy just to relax and don't need to be constantly entertained..

Main dining room had excellent food. Italian specialty restaurant a dissapointment

Buffet needs improvement, many breakfast items not warm enough some cold. Little variety in comparison to some other cruise lines. Balcony cabin nice, clean.

Ports visited were very nice.

Despite the high winds & rough seas the cruise to Canada was  wonderful, Food was very good Shows were very good Cabin 1443 very large for an oceanview with picture window.

I would DEFINITELY recommend this cruise to anyone for a quick getaway! it was soooo worth it, especially the magic show!!!!! I loved the fact that we didn't have a set time to eat dinner, because my husband and I were napping too much! It was my husband's first cruise, and he loved it!
