Review summary

We went on the ship because it was the only one to give the option of disembarking in Quebec. We wanted to spend an extra week in Quebec and it was amazing. Like I said, I want to retire there.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

I couldn't believe how quickly the embarkation process was. We arrived at the pier at 11:30 and were on board the ship at 11:45

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

We chose the anytime dining, which worked really well for us, Our servers were wonderful. Polite,quick, unobtrusive and knew the dishes very well. They never failed to answer any questions we had about the food or menu. The only complaint I had was the quality of the food. I think I'm spoiled by Royal Caribbean meals.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

On the days we stayed on board the ship there was plenty to do. The shows were enjoyable and the improv group we saw were very funny.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Our room steward was from Indonesia and since we had spent five years working there we had lots to talk about. He caught up up on what was happening in Jakarta and how the city was building so fast. He was always polite and took very good care of us.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Not much to say here. Just a very pretty ship and extremely clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

I don't remember the cabin number, but I remember our cabin was very roomy and comfortable.

What bit of Quebec? Quebec city? Montreal? If Canada lets you in, what would you do for healthcare since you never paid into their social security system? I know getting USA social security check is no problem in other countries. But healthcare? You might be on your own for that.
