Glad you had a great trip. Thanks for the review. I really want to to go on that itinerary, especially Bar Harbor, Maine. Regarding your last comment, we have never been on a bad cruise. I agree that it is what you make it.

I see where some write that Boston was not fun and to far to walk and nothing to see . I did not see it that way. It is an old city with a lot of history. A cruise is what you want to make out of it. Stop looking for only the bad. Open your eyes and see all the rich history of this city. Then , you will begin to see it in a new light. I am sure that the city's you come from has some of the bad things people write about here, please don't. Sorry you did not like this city , just have fun wherever the ship takes you. Enough said !

There is so much to do on these ships with so little time to do it in. How can anyone not have a Great Time. I look forward to my next one , and hope you all do the same. "Seas the Wave "
