We stayed in Vieux Quebec three days before the cruise. Really looking forward to the ports of call: Sydney, Halifax, St. John's, St. Pierre and Saguenay. We enjoyed the port stops until we got to Saguenay. The problem was the tour we went on. Booked through RCCL it was a disappointment. I am mobility challenged. They took the group down the stairs from deck 4 to deck 1 and then we walked 1/2 a block to the bus. By the time I got there the only open seats were facing backwards or next to the toilet with no window. When we returned I made a complaint at the excursions desk and the young woman was rude to me. To me this is a blemish on RCCL.

Embarkation was a breeze. Disembarkation was hard. We had to leave the ship by 9 am and our flight wasn't until 5 pm.

Because we were in a GS we ate breakfast and lunch in a special section on deck 5. The two servers were extraordinary. Even though the ship was not at full capacity the Windjammer was a nightmare at lunch when the dining room was not open. The food was not always satisfactory. It's a good thing we go for the itinerary and not the food. Read more
