We chose this cruise because we wanted to see Maine. It was very interesting to see the little towns along the Maine coast. We then left from Portland and took the CAT Ferry to Nova Scotia. If doing the Maine cruise, you can always hop on the ferry then which is right next door to where the ship docks. The lobster was excellent and we had it 3 times during the cruise and also had many dishes made with lobster. The cruise offers a lobster bake. There are many good museums to visit in the cities and town tours to take.
The rooms on the ship are as big as a hotel room. The entertainment was also pretty good - banjo playing, piano playing and locals that come in to speak. If you like shopping, the cities are also good for that. These cruises seem to attract the older generation, but we had a few younger people onboard also that were traveling with their parents. There were some families traveling together (9 of them). If you would get to know some of the seniors on the trip, they have had some pretty interesting lives. Don't discount them! All in all was a fun trip and a great way to see some towns in Maine.
