Review summary

We had a marvelous time, enjoyed relaxing and eating continuously. It was a very nice cruise.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Was fairly quick and without incident.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The dining room and the buffets were very good. We did My Time Dining so never ate in the Chic or Grande. Infact, we never even saw those venues.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We didn't use the pools but they certainly looked inviting. Was scheduled for the North Star but wind conditions prevented us from doing it. We left the rock-climbing wall & bumper cars to the younger people onboard.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
We only attended We Will Rock You and personally, we didn't care for it. It was a very dramatic display of strobe lights, loud music and singing.

Children's Programs

We had no children with us.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone was extremely courteous and friendly.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
This ship is enormous to say the least. A lot of walking is required. It is a beautiful vessel.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our cabin was very nice with plenty of room. I expected a lounge area near our very large window but there wasn't any. The window slants substantially so that's more than likely the reason. There was a single chair sitting there so we requested another chair so that we could both enjoy the lovely view from the very front of the ship. The shower was great! All glass with no shower curtain to wrap around you.

Ship tip

Keep in mind that it is a very large ship and requires a lot of walking.

Ports of call

Cape Liberty (Bayonne), New Jersey Did not visit port

Just drove there and borded the ship.

Boston, Massachusetts

5 out of 5
We did a very nice senic tour of Boston on a very nice luxury bus.

Portland, Maine

5 out of 5
We went to Kennebunkport on a beautiful bus, had lunch and strolled through this quaint village. It was really beautiful.

Bar Harbor, Maine

5 out of 5
We went to Arcadia National Park and lobster lunch. It was very nice. Our tour guide left a lot to be desired!

Halifax, Nova Scotia

5 out of 5
We had been here before so we chose just to stroll the board walk and look in the shops.

Saint John, New Brunswick

5 out of 5
We travelled to St. Andrews by the sea. Such a lovely place. Our tour guide was amazing.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very easy and fast without incident.
