Nuuk, Greenland

4 out of 5
A city of 17,000 - capital of Greenland. Walkable for most.

Qaqortoq, Greenland

4 out of 5
A city of 3,000 - 4th largest in Greenland. Tender operations were just ok.

Nanortalik, Greenland

4 out of 5
A small village of 1,000 people. The port facilities can only handle one tender at a time. We spent 2 1/2 hours total waiting time for a two hour walking tour on our own. Big ships should NOT go here.

St. John's, Newfoundland

5 out of 5
Loves St. John. Legend Tours of the major sites!

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
Unacceptable. Worst disembarkation experience we’ve ever had on Princess. Huge line snaked all around luggage retrieval area - it was terrible!!!
