Canada & New England Romantic Cruises Reviews

Pros are supposed to go before cons, so I will put the positives first, but please don’t miss the negatives later in this review, because although there were a few redeeming qualities, make no mistake, I would never sail with MSC again. First positive, all the staff below the managerial level deserve to be commended for being true, if not powerless, delights. We had many wonderful interactions ...

We just finished the Norwegian Escape this week. We were very disappointed overall. We usually cruise with Royal Caribbean and thought they would be comparable. We did not find that to be the case at all. Let’s start with the positives. The cruise itinerary was pretty phenomenal. We loved 4 out of the 5 stops we made. Newport Rhode Island was a darling and phenomenal stop. We would love to ...

This was our sixth cruise and after reading the celebrity board and reading all of the cheerleaders' reviews we were very excited to try celebrity and especially the summit. People raved about the food, service, and ship. They said it was the best of the fleet. Well, if that is their best they are in serious trouble. The staff was very friendly, but they must be stretched very thin. It was ...

This was my 2nd NCL cruise. I was spoiled since my first cruise was summer 2021 when passenger capacity was 50% & cleanliness was a high priority. I just returned from an NCL New England cruise out of NYC & have tested positive for Covid, in spite of wearing a mask virtually the entire time I was indoors & constantly washing my hands & using hand sanitizer. The cleanliness in public areas ...

Family Get-together Party of 5 with 3 cabins. We were all to have 2 for 1 fares, with a Specialty Restaurant, 150 minutes WIFI/Internet, and $50 shore excursion credit. Unlike the other 2 cabins, we only received the 2 for 1 fare. Spoke with Guest Services and they had to get with HQ. Never got back to me. Went to Guest Services again and they stated HQ said they wouldn't do anything because it ...

The BOGO airfare worked well for us. Check in was a breeze. Our ocean view room was fine & kept clean. We enjoyed the entertainment. All the servers, bar tenders & personnel went out of their way to make our trip enjoyable. Two of our ports were cancelled in Halifax & St John due to weather. We had an extra sea day & stop in Portland MA. Also we couldn't tender in Martha's Vineyard. ...

Chose this cruise because we wanted to see Fall Colors in Canada/New England and had had favorable experiences on Princess in the past. However, this is an OLD ship (2004 refurbished 2019) and shows its age as well as lack of modern amenities. Although we didn't pay the most for our oceanview cabin we did not expect it to have bunk beds which protruded from the wall on either side of the queen ...

We chose this cruise due to itinery for a reasonable deal. We stayed 3 nights in Boston at the marriott on arrival which was good. On ship the buffet was poor quality and lacked choice so we ate in the various dining rooms which was excellent and staff lovely. The shows were OK but not great. Entertainment in the individual bars were better. Our only complaint was one out of our 3 trips to Peggy's ...

We had booked this cruise hoping to see fall colors but much of the trees had not yet turned. We booked an overnight stay in Montreal with Princess before embarking on the cruise. Montreal accommodations were nice but the transfer process was lacking. The busses picked us up so late that we didn’t reach the ship until 4:00 pm which caused us to miss out on several hours in Quebec City. The ...

We (3 couples) chose this cruise for the canada/new england/fall foliage itinerary. The norweigen pearl is in great shape and the stateroom was comfortable and adequately served (once per day.) service on board was very good, a friendly and helpful staff by and large. Meals in the main dining room were very good, as was the specialty restaurant, la cucina. I didn't enjoy the teppanyaki dining: ...
