Canada & New England Romantic Cruises Reviews

Recently, my wife and I took the October 28 sailing to Canada and New England on EMERALD PRINCESS. Overall, it was a very nice, relaxing trip. Here’s the skinny: Embarkation in Brooklyn. We entered the Brooklyn cruise terminal at 12:28 in the afternoon, and because we had the “Green Lane” we stepped on board the ship 12 minutes later at 12:40. Without doubt, this was the easiest and quickest ...

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 ...

We book this cruise every year. 3rd time on Princess. For us, no fly. Pleasant week . Great ports. For once, the weather cooperated. In past years we missed a port or two due to weather. Embarkation was a breeze. We finally found a convenient way to access the Brooklyn cruise pier by using the water taxi from pier 11 at Wall St. It drops off at Red Hook across from the ship. Just ...

In October 2023, my wife and I took the Crystal Serenity’s 12-day cruise along the east coast of Canada and the United States. We’ve frequently cruised on this ship since 2010. Though the Crystal Serenity is now on its third owner, it’s better than ever. I rate this cruise as outstanding (an overall “5” on a scale of 5). My score is based on the high quality of (1) remodeled, enlarged ...

I travelled alone for a first-time cruise and chose this itinerary because I live in NYC, wanted an easy, stress-free vacation, and loved the itinerary (which included two ports at which I could visit with family and friends). My home is an easy cab ride from the terminal. I had received my medallion by mail and got on to the ship very quickly. At the end of the sailing, I got off the ship ...

I chose this sailing because it was a new cruise line and I didn't pay full price for the sailing. I had researched this ship and Princess throughly before booking and sailing. I knew what I was getting into because the ship is pretty old. The colors and furnishings are dated. With that said, everything was clean and the outside of the ship looked nice. Princess is in the same class as ...

This was my first cruise on princess. Took a mini suite which was nice but the boat gave me a room all the way in the front of the boat and on tender days it felt and sounded like the anchor was in my room. I personally didn't like the daytime activities on the boat. Didn't seem like there was much to do. Purchased the premier plus package which was good and worth the money if you like ...

This is for a 9 day New England and Canadian cruise. We had an 11AM check in, but were quickly admitted on board 15 minutes ahead of time. Our balcony stateroom on the 8th deck was spacious and comfortable, but on the night of the 70s Promenade "Party" (just a motivation to buy drinks), we heard the bass noises from the 5th deck. Our room steward was very good, even though he forgot to fill up our ...

Previous sailing on NCL traveled exclusively on NCL for decades . This was last terrible Cut out cabin service and had no working toilet for hours. Reservations for speciality dining impossible to get. Lines to speak with anyone at desk long. Entertainment fair. The staff is wonderful but corporate has made so many cuts in past perks and buffet choices that it’s not the NCL I traveled for ...
