Not enough time in this port and could not do the excursion that we wanted to do because it was sold out immediately. I booked with an outside tour company however we could not go on this excursion because we didn't get into town until noon.

Cruise Gulf Of St. Lawrence

4 out of 5

Cruise Coast Of Nova Scotia

4 out of 5
There were too many sea days on this cruise.

Saint John, New Brunswick

3 out of 5

Bar Harbor, Maine

5 out of 5

Portland, Maine

3 out of 5
Not enough time in this port. Only 3 hours, I think.

New York, New York

3 out of 5
Not enough time here.

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

1 out of 5
I never wanted to go here at all and then we cruised right into hurricane Milton and had to stay on the ship and extra day. In my opinion we should have ended the cruise in New York City.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Disembarkation was fine once we were able to do so. We cruised into the out bands of Hurricane Milton and our disembarkation was delayed by one day.

Sorry you were disappointed. Bar Harbor is the highlight of the Maine Coast, glad you got to visit it.

Sorry you were disappointed with your cruise. Your contract states that itinerary can change.
