Sail Date: Jun 2015
Cabin: Large Outside Stateroom (fully obstructed views)

We have cruised on Princess and Carnival. Our cabin was smaller, the air conditioner didn't work well, and no refrigerator. We don't spend much in the cabin but still were disappointed.

We had wonderful dining room and cabin staff. Justin and Jeremy were very friendly but the rest were not friendly and made no effort.

We tendered in Bar Harbor and had booked an excursion on our own. We were told that we would not be allowed on the first tenders they were only for those who had booked their excursions through the boat. I asked at both the front desk and excursion desk. Neither cared or apologized. We didn't follow directions and went early and luckily made our tour. The excursions are more expensive to book on the boat. Sydney was a boring port unless you paid for an excursion.

Cabin HH

Small, crowded. Not much room to store luggage.

Restroom had a bath tub which was nice. To dry hands in the bathroom you had to reach over toilet to get a towel. not much room.

Port Reviews

Quebec City

Beautiful city. Lots to do- be sure to wear comfortable shoes. Steps if you choose to walk up instead of cable car.

Sydney (Nova Scotia)

Nothing to do except see a huge violin at dock terminal.

Halifax

Walked to the Public Gardens (free) and the Citadel (admission charge)

Good shopping at dock terminal
