Review summary

We thought the ship was very nice - smaller than we are use to - but at our age that is GOOD!

Ports of call

Halifax, Nova Scotia

3 out of 5
Lunenburg and Mahone Bay were mainly just shopping stops. There wasn't really time to go through the museum adequately and lunch was EXPENSIVE. $40 for 2 cups of soup, 1 lobster roll and 2 soft drinks.

Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island

5 out of 5
We did the Ultimate Green Gables experience. The "carriage ride" was rather short, but other than that it was great.
Don't Miss: Green Gable House

Quebec City, Quebec

5 out of 5
Loved the whole thing. I liked the dinner at the Mill near the falls
Don't Miss: Sugar Shack

Sydney, Nova Scotia

5 out of 5
We saw the Fortress of Louisbourg in the morning. It would have been nice to have an hour or so to wander on our own - although I guess we really did see most everything. Also saw the Spirit of the Fiddle - great.
Don't Miss: Spirit of the Fiddle show.

Bar Harbor, Maine

5 out of 5
Beautiful. Even in the rain and the fog, we enjoyed Acadia, especially the blow-hole. The lobster fisherman was also very good. Would have liked an extra 5 minutes there to go through the little fish hatchery.
Don't Miss: Acadia Park

Pros: Ports & Food & Shows

Cons: bathtub in the room

Recommends Maasdam? Yes!
