Additional details
Destinations were good, a bit boring at Sydney Nova Scotia
Miss communication between ncl rep and agency rep and ncl online. I choiced shore credit and was told final destination could be one,,however after booking I was told by shore excursion offc that not true, however the beginning of the cruise port Quebec I could use it for..but wasn't able to due to the miscommunication. Also book as soon as possible since alot of the better excursions were already sold out prior to sailing.
Also alot of the extra cost for drinks, ex: water pkg was better to buy on ship to save money
Cabin Review
Obstructed Oceanview
2 sgl beds put together after we got in a stateroom and I barely had room to walk by the desk and bed..we had 2 skinny long port windows. The toilet area is enclosed from the rest of restroom and so small I barely had room to do my stuff and get wiped up. I'm only 5ft and 150lbs. size 10/12
Port Reviews
Portland (Maine)
Everything shops and eatery close by to the port, that was nice. The horsedrawn carriage ride was nice and interesting more personal than the old fire engine. But it takes a bit of time and in the cold, wish they would let us bring coffee/tea or make a stop so we can have that while on tour. The owners of the horses where nice and the horses were great!
Sydney (Nova Scotia)
Great shoe shop, especially for women but good selection for men as well,,others than town was boring.
