Review summary

Disappointed that we were not able to go to Boston or Portland as visiting the ports was the primary purpose of taking this cruise. Felt Sydney and Corner Brook were not worth even stopping to get off. So of our 5 stops 2 were not good, therefore really effecting our experience. Mixed review of this cruise.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Ok but long lines

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Some of the food was average. It really depended upon what you ordered at the main restaurants. Lots of variety at buffets. Speciality dining was very good

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

There was lots to do

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Shows were excellent. Music everywhere and very good

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Thought everyone was courteous, friendly and very willing to help. Servers were very good.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Did not think the design was conducive to moving about the ship easily. Common areas were clean and well maintained. Reminders by staff to wash your hands was fun.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Room was a little narrow as you had to get by the bed regularly which was not always easy. Bathroom big enough. Balcony okay

Ship tip

Be prepared to walk as just getting off the ship could be a long walk. Not enough elevators to accommodate the number of people on board. Long wait times. Observation lounge was great
