Jewel of the Seas

11 Night Fall Foliage Southbound (Quebec City To Cape Liberty)

Sail date: October 09, 2023

Ship: Jewel of the Seas

Traveled as: Couple

Review summary

This cruise gave us an overview of northeast Canada and a few cities on the Eastern Seaboard. The trip was fun but we found 3 sea days on an 11 day cruise is too many sea days. We prefer a more port intensive itinerary. We also prefer a cruise with more included food options. This ship only has the main dining room and the buffet.

Disembarkation

The shuttle to the airport, purchased through the ship, was not handled well. We waited outside in the rain for 30 minutes along with several 100 other cruise passengers
