Review summary

Easy on at noon. Would not go on a Canada cruise again. There’s not much at ports to do or see. Ship was ok but seemed very crowded in the buffet. Crew was very unsure what deck to exit ship in Saint John.

Embarkation

Sounds like a mostly good cruise, but WHY were the ports so bad? What might have made them better?
