Boston to Canada & New England Cruise Reviews

This was our 5th cruise, all previously on the Windsurf. We wanted to try one of the Windstar motor yachts and were pleased by the itinerary and departure from a U.S. port. Embarkation was seamless. And, although we could have encountered seas which were rough due to a storm in the area, it was exceptionally calm for the entire sailing. The Star Pride is a gorgeous small ship - and only 180 ...

We took this cruise to celebrate my 39th birthday. This was my first cruise since my diagnosis so i was prepared to only have a few things available to eat but boy was i wrong!!! This cruise turned out to be the best one we have ever been on, and it wouldn't have been possible without the staff kicking butts and taking names (and food and drink orders) the entire time! Ship: 3/5 The ship is ...

Overall, the cruise was great with interesting and scenic ports. The ship offered several communal spaces with lots of activities. Great food and service! Biggest complaint was timing and/or lack of evening shows. Pros: Good Windjammer buffet but would like more variety at lunches. Service in MDR was outstanding. Initial cabin requests were handled quickly and our room steward was efficient and ...

Mostly the itineraries and the port being so close to home! Every port was amazing especially Quebec City and the added overnight due to the hurricane! Excellent choice to keep us safe! We also had the best Cruise Director ever Manuel I don’t think he ever sleeps he was truly the greatest of all our 60 cruises. We also enjoyed every show very different each evening Karen Granger was a gem! Brandon ...

This was only our second cruise so we let our travel companions pick the cruise since they have much more cruise experience. The Zuiderdam is an older cruise liner as were the patrons so we felt right at home. The amenities on the ship were perfect and we enjoyed room service breakfast every morning and the food was fantastic. In the evening we enjoyed the main dining room and serving us at table ...

I wanted to explore the ports in Canada and New England where I had never been before. Really enjoyed the food, the service, the spa and the Music Walk. The classical duo, a cellist and pianist from Las Vegas, were phenomenal. I also enjoyed the ocean band, the cocktail pianist, and the other pianist. They were all top notch. My cabin stewards took great care of me. This was my first solo ...

Wanted to see the New England area and could only do it on a small ship. Very quaint, good food and staff….will probably sail with them again. Very different than the large ships, nice and easy with no crowds, and easy to get around….since ship is small (only 100 passengers) you don’t have to walk a mile to get to dining room, your room, public spaces….everything is close…ship was brand ...

There's a first time for everything and this was our first time of many to come! It was a family reunion of sorts with about 20 of us. We met up every night (when not doing excursions or Specialty Dining) for dinner at Summer Palace. Delicious food and drinks there and everywhere we went! The staff in every restaurant and venue were amazing! The ship's talent was second to none. Enjoyed the ...

This was my first cruise and I went with my grandmother and uncle. I was extremely nervous about rough waters. We did run into some rough waters, but fortunately, it wasn't too bad. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the cruise ship's staff. They were the kindest and most helpful people. The bartenders at O'Sheehan's were the best! They had us laughing, dancing and smiling every ...

You can't control the weather! The weather during the trip was awful with rain, fog and colder than average temperatures. We knew that the weather was going to be a crapshoot when we booked the cruise so although we were disappointed, it didn't ruin the trip for us. If I was doing it again, I would plan for early- June through mid-September for this itinerary when the weather would be a bit ...
