We chose this ship as we had never been to New England. What a wonderful way to see the fall and enjoy the fun of a cruise. Mostly we cruise the Caribbean as we live in Florida, so this trip was a wonderful change.
This ship is beautiful with many upgraded electronics like your room key/card is placed in a holder by the door for electricity to your room. Reminds me of Europe. Another cost saving feature is all pictures are viewed online and printed when you order.
I will say we enjoyed moving to a different dining room each night, but our cruise was the last to participate.
Portland was a beautiful port with fun shopping and pubs.
We have been to Halifax many times and just wanted to walk around the pier area
We have been to Saint Johns in the past and decided to tour a couple brewerys.
