I just returned from a seven day cruise to New England and Canada (from NYC). I am going to give you a very condensed, to-the-point, review.
1. EMBARKING -- no problem whatsoever. We breezed through the process so was pleasantly surprised. However, other passengers that we spoke to (who arrived later) claimed to have had a completely different experience.
2. DECOR -- very tacky. Straight out of the 70's.
