We sailed on the 12 day Zuiderdam Canada/New England cruise from 10/7/16 to 10/19/16. We got to Quebec City on 10/6/16 a day before embarkation and enjoyed a great meal at Le Saint Amour and a restful night at The JW Marriot. The embarkation was slow but being veterans of 30 cruises we have come to expect these waits. We have been on HAL enough to be Three Star Mariners. We had taken a 7 day HAL Canada/New England Cruise 3 years ago.
We had 8110 a Balcony Room. The ship left Quebec City timely on 10/7/16 headed to Saguenay CA. During the mandatory safety drill we were informed that our life boat could not be lowered because of a needed repair, but never fear we will get you into other life boats. Really?
Arrived in the small town of Saguenay on 10/8 and took a excursion that included an Alpaca Farm, a cheese factory and a glass blowing workshop. It was a good excursion.
The odors from the above kitchen were strong in the morning.
