My husband & I had a great time on the cruise. Really nice room with a balcony which was very clean. Great entertainment - loved the shows, singers, dancers, comedy and terrific 70s night and Ice Show. The ports we're good - especially the Lighthouse stop in Halifax, the Halifax Garedens, the Harbor walk in St John that we did on our own and Trolley Car tour we did in Portland. Traveled with 6 couples and enjoyed eating togething in the dining room for dinner. The food could have been a little better. The staff was very friendly - lots of smiles and help. Pool area was well maintained and I had no problem finding a chair. But there was smoking on one side which I avoided. The Caribbean music was really good and definitely put me in the vacation mood. We really had a great time and a wonderful week at sea.
Great room 8th floor with balcony
On our own, we took the 2 hour Trolley tour. I really enjoyed this and the guide was terrific. We had originally booked a 2 hour walking tour thru the cruise but wound up not doing that as it was very hot that day and the Trolley tour took us to all of the places including a very scenic area with another light house.
My husband and I did not take any organized tour. We simply walked the 2 1/2 miles along the bay to the scenic spot to observe the water current. Very nice and well kept area.
Very smooth getting to Bayonne and getting onto the ship. Great staff that were very friendly. Very organized.
