I chose this cruise for the ports and fall color. First time on Princess, the ship was beautiful and our mini suite was just perfect size for my daughter who travelled with me.
The food in dining room and restaurants was very good. The buffet was ok but I am not a fan of buffets. Went on our own private excursions except for St John and Halifax and took the tours from the ship and they were really good. We went on tours further out of town and had nice surprises in Halifax took the tour to Lunenburg, Mahoney Bay and stopped at the end to a Maple syrup store that was great. In St John went to the rapids and then to Kingsbrae Gardens, had wonderful lunch there, both tours had wonderful guides and would highly recommend., wow beautiful places to visit. and great pictures taken.
Now for the bad, the International Café didn't have there act together, didn't know how to get tea from Tower of tea on display, said the bar service people had to place the order and couldn't get to go, then the bar service girl said oh the tea on display wasn't real.
Nice roomy cabin and great closet space and shelves. Very comfortable and wouldn't want a smaller room now.
