Review summary

Ship and crew were excellent. However it is a very large ship and many events and activities were crowded and not well controlled.

Ports of call

Halifax, Nova Scotia

3 out of 5

New London, Connecticut

1 out of 5

Ship was scheduled for Newport but was rescheduled for New London, a poor alternate. Then the shore excursion to Newport was cancelled too late the night before for us to reschedule another excursion. Became a wasted day on board.
