The crew of the Caribbean Princess was overall polite and welcoming. Canadian ports of Quebec and Halifax had beautiful foliage and the weather was chilly. It was nice to have a different port every day. The end of the cruise was 3 at sea days which seemed 1 day too many on the ship.

We did not see any of the speakers or magicians. The big show with dancers was cancelled due to extreme turbulence.

Service and Staff
4 out of 5
The service was great in all areas except for the pizza station on the pool deck. The main pizza guy was not amicable and came across generally annoyed.
Ship Quality
3 out of 5
There were whiffs of sewage in the hallways and in the cabin restroom. The paint/film on the inside of the elevator door was peeling.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
The extended balcony was very nice especially on days at sea.
Ship tip
You can sign up for on the ship activities at any of the big touch screens around the ship once you scan your medallion.
Peggy's Cove was not that great. There is not much there and we were given 30 minutes after driving quite a ways there. The guide gave interesting details about Titanic cemetery.
Kennebunk port excursion included great foliage. Unfortunately, when we stopped in town most of the shops had already closed.The guide was very knowledgeable about the area.
Be advised the mansion tours now require a Smart Phone APP and ear buds. The description of the mansion excursion with this info was updated after we booked it.
