unlike an Alaska cruise, I don't need to go on this one again, I though we would see more shoreline and fall colors but we didn't. time spent off the ship was better than on it. if I compare the cruise experience to Alaska there isn't really apples to apples. I would go back to Alaska again and again.
Embarkation
1 out of 5
terrible, one zig zag line after another, 3 hours start to finish. not enough chairs for those that needed to sit and no water offered. I saw people fall from exhaustion standing too long, this wasn't a spring break cruise, most 60+.

Ship tip
only if its the only ship going to a certain destination. I don't think I would sail on her again.
Agree about Alaska. I am reading about the New England cruises and it seems too early for the Fall foliage colors. The cities and ports are nice, but not the colors - yet!
I live in Canada. No reason to spend money to go to Alaska. we have it all here. snow ice cold clouds moose mountains. I do not have the same warmth 10 months a year, exotic birds and reptiles, ocean breezes and turquoise waters. off to the Caribbean for me in February
