Review summary

Overall it was a nice cruise and we recommend it. The ship is pretty new, clean with comfortable cabins, and the crew was excellent. We did not see much of fall colors since it was still early in the season. Two ports of call had to be cancelled due to damage caused by hurricane Fiona.
