Lovely time for this cruise but will always be weather dependent.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Main dining room quite good. Manfredi's reliable and menu varied. Chef's Table is a set supine based menu. You can pick and choose and avoid those that do not appeal. Quality is less consistent than other restaurants on board.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Bridge great. Instructor Tom Musso very competent. There is usually a bridge instructor on board if there are 5 or more sea days.

Ship tip
Explore the many options the ship provides both in food and activities.
The port is not that interesting and due to hurricane Fiona, PEI, was still closed to ships so we spent two days here. The locals were delightful and welcoming. And the sail out the fjord in daylight was spectacular. Just not a lot to do while in port.
Port way toooooooo commercial. Town has been spoiled by cruise industry. Acadia Nat Park way too crowded; late fall, weekend, spectacular weather made for too many people.
Best overall day. But much too short. Get to port at 7am when nothing is open and have to leave by 1:30. That said, we did a great overview (1 1/2 hr) bus tour of the Ocean Road, Bellevue Ave. and center city. Then we boarded a comfortable refurbished lobster boat to view the yachts and waterfront mansions. Could get a good view from the ocean.
Really needs more time for Newport.
