Cabin: Interior Stateroom

Check in went fairly well. The lounge that they have Platinum & Diamond members is not large enough for the numbers. They shuttle you to the ship after check in & this was like herding cows...

Our cabin was inside and usual for the voyager class ships.

1st port was New London, CT. In my opinion a waste of time. They only thing they have there to see is the Navy Clipper, the Eagle. We were told we were lucky because it is not always there. 2nd port was Halifax. My tour was cancelled the day before they said due to low participation. Had I known that I would have scheduled the same tour myself. One minute I was told the tours were full when I complained that we really had no choice since ours was cancelled she materialized 2 tickets to the tour that was my second choice. 3rd port was St. John's and we choose to just walk around. There were 2 cruise ships at port this day and it was crowded. We ate lunch at Steamer's right across the road from where the cruise ship docks. I thought it was expensive for a tavern but one lobster meal with 2 drinks was 70.00 plus tip Canadian dollars. 4th was Portland, Ma & we did the LL Bean shopping tour. You can not get there any way but by either the bus or taxi and I bet a taxi would be expensive. It's 25 minutes drive. It's OK but nothing any different than a outlet mall any where else. 5th was Boston, MA. I am very glad we scheduled the culinary tour because it was great. Quincy's market we walked to after the tour and it was a crowded mess.
