Saint John, New Brunswick

5 out of 5
We were given a city map as we left the port and followed it to fine interesting locations on our own.

Halifax, Nova Scotia

5 out of 5
We did a Princess Excursion of the Maritime Museum and the cemetery of the victims of the Titanic. It was very informative and the guide of excellent. She shared many facts and stories about the tragedy.

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
It was rainy again and we left the ship at our designated time to board a bus to JFK Airport UT the first bus we started to board had no seats left and we had already placed our luggage on so we had to get our luggage off that bus and wait for another bus. It was over an hour waiting in the rain with little covering.
