Review summary

If you want to escape the heat of summer, this was a great way to do so. Aside from the fun of the cruise itself, the ports are lovely. This and Alaska are your best bets without flying across an ocean.

Embarkation

Fastest ever....couldn't have been more than 10 minutes until we walked onto the ship.

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Curiously, the main dining room never served lunch...buffet or burgers only. Never experienced that before.

Onboard Activities

Blackjack pays 6:5....meh!

Entertainment

Do you like Paul Lynde jokes? If your answer is, "Who's Paul Lynde?", then you're on the wrong cruise.

Ship tip

Smaller, older, but still elegant. This Canada trip was better than I expected. The specialty restaurant Canaletto is worth the $15 upcharge.
