Why this Cruise?
We greatly enjoyed our two prior cruises on Crystal Serenity. My wife was fascinated by the prospect of visiting the three Gulf of St. Lawrence stops, especially St. Pierre and Miquelon which is actually part of France. I had enjoyed a solo trip to Montreal a year earlier, and thought the cruise presented a good opportunity to combine a short visit with this short cruise.
Embarkation
This was a "standard" veradah cabin, not very large but with plenty of storage space, a well fitted out bathroom, and generally nice amenities. The only problem was that the closet was close to the bed, making getting dressed a bit of a chore for both of us to do it at the same time.
