Princess upgraded us to C321 months before the cruise. Glad they did because was a lower balcony and close to the center of the ship. Our Steward, Celso was the best. Always had our room super clean.

Ports of call

Quebec City, Quebec

5 out of 5
So, so beautiful. It is the only City in North America that has a wall around it. Be sure to take the funicular to go from the old and new Quebec City. This is a MUST to go to. Don't have to worry about traffic because everything is walkable and some blocked off from traffic.

Halifax, Nova Scotia

5 out of 5
Must see the Museum with the items from the Titanic and be sure to see the Cemetery where they were buried. Very interesting. Once you read everything in the museum about it you can know everything that went on.

Portland, Maine

3 out of 5
Just rode the free shuttle. Just looked at houses and not much really there unless you want to eat lobster or other sea food but restaurants were super crowded.

Boston, Massachusetts

5 out of 5
A lot of history here. We did the excursion with Princess that gave us a tour of the City and we toured Fenway Park which was great. Very historical old stadium. There is also the Freedom Trail in Boston.

Newport, Rhode Island

5 out of 5
It has the The International Tennis Museum and is just nice to walk around there.

Brooklyn, New York

5 out of 5
We went on our own and arrange ahead and got tickets to tour Yankee Stadium. What history. We used the app ROME2RIO and it gave me all the subway info, taxi etc. Subway told me exactly how much and what subway station was near me, and what stops to go through and where we got off and took me right there. After stadium tour the same app for subway got me to Central Park and we paid a guy to take us around Central Park in an Electric Pedy Cab. It is a electric bike and has like two seats in back, really cute. He gave us a tour there telling about everything and even took us to the place where John Lennon had lived (you know). Pricey but worth it. He asked my next subway station I needed and took me right there in New York traffic, that was pretty cool. Well worth it. Then app got us right to our subway station closest to ship and called Uber to get me to the ship. It was a 27 minute walk from station and wasn't sure how it was to walk in Brooklyn to boat. Still was a lot yet to see in New York.

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

5 out of 5
Live in Florida. Everyone comes here and anywhere else in Florida.

Thanks for your review. Nice itinerary. Newport has super Mansion Row on the water. The Breakers for one. You can tour the inside of them. Glad you had a nice cruise!
