Review summary

These cruises are not fall foliage (unless you like green) but really Canada NE cruises to visit the ports. If you like small Canadian cities (plus maybe Boston or Portland) than sure. If you are looking for real fall colors - need to stay on land and drive through VT and NH later in the season. Might be better on a smaller ship - Adventure layout not good for cold weather and mostly older crowd

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We avoid Windjammer except if necessary. MDR was great - we do MyTime and settle in with same table and neighbors. Works great

Onboard Activities

Too cold for pool etc. Lots of trivia but not too much else

RC singers and dancers (plus band) are wonderful. Missed comedian. Singers were good.

Service and Staff

MDR people were fast and attentive. We got to know them and that makes a big difference. Captain is a quiet one

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
I'm not a fan of the promenade and with cold weather EVERYONE was crammed in the inside spaces. Ship not designed for that. AS always, RCL ships are clean

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
As expected for oceanview on deck 2.

Ports of call

Bar Harbor, Maine
