Review summary

Dinner and the night life were our favorite parts of this cruise. There was not enough to do in St. John but Halifax was an enjoyable, fun port. I would recommend this cruise to others; the boat was wonderful and the rooms were clean and comfortable. There was wonderful night life and dinner was great - our waiters were fantastic.

The bed that came down from the ceiling was amazing!!! All of the beds were comfortable, and the room was clean. The stewards were great and friendly.

Ship tip

Make sure to look at the itinerary every day because there is so much going on and you don't want to miss any of it.

We went Jun 25-30 and it was pretty chilly and windy most times. Be sure to pack layers. Kinda Rocky going North. Only my second cruise but much more bumpy than going out of Miami to Bahamas

How was the weather? We are trying to figure out how to pack for a cruise to Canada! I've heard it's much different that packing for a Caribbean cruise. Any suggestions would be great.
