Had only been to Portland, Maine before and wanted to see more of Maine. Had book a cabin on the lower deck, but when I arrived because of the lesser number of passsengers I was upgraded to the third deck with a private balcony. Everything was great. A great chef who came out and visited every table at every meal to see how people like the food and if they had any complaints. Was willing to fix something special for you if they had the capability. All of the staff were friendly and extremely helpful. Interesting shore excursions were offered at each port. The cruise included an old fashion lobster bake on shore. The cabin was just the right size and was cleaned each day. The ship was easy to get around. A great cocktail hour each day before dinner was served. Wine and beer always available for each meal. Had some type of entertainment each night. This was my first cruise every and I selected it because of its small passenger size. Have already booked another one for 2017.
