After reading the review of the cruise from a person who commented on all the things that I also had to say, I can only say, "I agree 100%"! Even the comments about the fake eggs was accurate! In fact, I thought my husband had written it! Overall, we had a mini-suite and it was beautiful. That was the highlight of the trip.The Crown Grill was fantastic but the buffet was very disappointing. The service was very good most of the time but the product (food) was not.
The worst problem was the approximately 4000 passengers. I have always been told that they will seem to disappear when you are aboard the ship. They don't. It was ALWAYS crowded and we were ALWAYS in a line. We were in a line to have our passports checked for one hour and five minutes! Elevators were always so crowded that we had to squeeze in or wait for the next one.
We missed two great ports (Bar Harbor and Newport RI) because of weather but line dancing couldn't keep me entertained for 2 days. We enjoyed our shore excursion in Halifax with Paul O'Neil (Halifax Tours, see Trip Advisor),The Princess tour of Boston was also a highlight. The rapids in St John were underwhelming to say the least.
