This was our second time to sail from Cape Liberty roundtrip. We were very pleased with the cruise overall - the ship was well maintained and very clean; the crew was the friendliest we have ever experienced. This is a great itinerary and we were lucky to have beautiful weather in all but one port. In most places it was chilly and the leaves were mostly full peak or about a week past peak.

I will skip a description of sea days as they were typical and restful. Our first port was Saint John NB. It was a beautiful day and we opted just to do a walk about town, same as on our previous cruise here. It is an easy town to walk. Probably one of the most outstanding features are whimsical "people sculptures" in the port area. There is good shopping and many restaurants. I checked prices in every port of the syrup in maple leaf bottles and the best price was at the market here.

The second port for this cruise we had not visited before, Charlottetown PEI. I overheard a server on board telling other passengers about the "Hippopotabus" and we decided to do this one hour overview tour around town. It was a short walk two blocks from the pier terminal. Price for seniors was $15.00 (regular price was $17 pp). The guide talked non-stop and was very informative and entertaining. This was money well-spent and I would highly recommend. It left plenty of time to walk and shop afterward. Another good day. Read more
