Sail Date: Sep 2016
Cabin: Aft-Facing Balcony

We were in Penthouse Suite 9236 which is an aft stateroom. The suite was nice and roomy but the bathroom was quite small with only one sink and a tub shower. The suite had good, two zone HVAC and a way to close off the bed for early risers and hooray, the sink and tub drains worked well. A butler came with the suite and he kept us stocked with fruit and snacks. The aft location had us experience quite a bit of side to side and up and down motion. The aft location had us a long way from most things except the main dining room, lido buffet, internet cafe (which is small) and the Bliss Lounge.

We had most meals in either Cagney's Steakhouse, Le Bistro and La Cucina which are all specialty restaurants and were all fantastic (both food and service). There was a Concierge, Roel Gonzales, that was great, extremely helpful and always ready to assist.

The main showroom is nice with adequate seating for the ship's size but the other entertainment facilities were always lacking in seating capacity. The unlimited drink package came with our cruise and has a $15 limit (you pay the difference) but does not include, much to our surprise, bottled water of any kind.

Port Reviews

Portland (Maine)

Did a walking tour on our own.

Boston

We did the hop on hop off and a harbor cruise. This is a great city to visit.

Bar Harbor

We walked this beautiful port and city.

Gaspe

Walked the town and had some great gelato near the dock.

Saguenay

Walked a few miles on the nice coastal walkway.

Quebec City

We just visited a few locations on our own, a hop on hop off would have been the way to go.
