Review summary

So all in all we were disappointed that we missed the 2 ports in Greenland since it is why we booked this cruise. We had a great time with friends onboard. Seas were rocky at times due to the hurricanes in the area. The crew made the best of and kept us happy.

We saw some of the shows already which were good. We went to the comedy shows a lot and they were funny.

Service and Staff

The service is always great. I love all the crew. They are hard workers. Our waiters and room stewards were fantastic.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The ship was always kept clean. It does need to be refreshed which will be happening in 2024.

Cabin / Stateroom

Our cabin was very comfortable. the bed was very good. and our steward kept our cabin very clean.

Ship tip

I always bring magnetic hooks and clips for hanging our thing and the clips for papers to keep everything tidy and organized.

Ports of call

Baltimore, Maryland

4 out of 5
We stayed the night before the cruise. We just walked down to the Inner Harbor during the day.

Nanortalik, Greenland Did not visit port

Unfortunately The ship did not stop here because of the weather

Qaqortoq, Greenland Did not visit port

Unfortunately The ship did not stop here either due to weather

St. Anthony, Newfoundland

4 out of 5
We had an excursion to the Norstead Viking Village then we had a Viking lunch at the lighthouse area.

Corner Brook, Newfoundland

3 out of 5
We stopped here on a different day than scheduled so our excursion was changed. Saw the Heritage tree and rode on a chair lift to the top of Marble Mountain. We were all supposed to have lunch but due to lack of buses everyone wasn't able to eat due to time constraints.

Sydney, Nova Scotia

3 out of 5
All our excursions were cancelled due to the fact we arrived on a different day then scheduled. all we did was walk around the port and shopped a little.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
we got off the ship in a timely manner. We did self assist.

@gingerhoy, and all cruisers, ya take enough cruises, and things will go sideways. March 2020 we got stuck on a RCCL ship for 12 days when the pandemic was declared. Crew and pax great!

Sorry you missed the stops in Greenland, I know how disappointing that is. In January 2022 we were booked for 14 Panama Canal Cruse on Legend out of Baltimore. Our ports were Half Moon Cay, Ocho Rios, Limon, Partial Crossing, Grand Turk. The night before we received email informing us our 14 day cruise would only be a 10 day cruise and no partial crossing of Panama Canal, no reason was given. My guess some ports still had COVID restrictions. It was the reason for booking this cruise. Our new ports were St Maarten, Antigua and Half Moon Cay. Did not do Half Moon Cay due to weather, not safe for tenders. We had the option to do the cruise or take a future cruise credit. We did the cruise, at 50% capacity and no children to be seen. Even tough we were disappointed it was a great cruise.

Sorry you didn't get to Greenland. We were on the 13 August sailing and were very fortunate. What a disappointment for you. Hope you enjoyed, as crew is always great.

Thanks for your review. Sorry that your cruise had to skip Greenland. They do everything for the safety of the passengers. Now you have a reason to take another cruise to Greenland!
