Bar Harbor, ME was the most majestically beautiful port I've ever sailed into, rivaling Oslo, Norway.  The shore trail is well worth walking, and the small town of Bar Harbor is charming and hospitable.

Bar Harbor

Ah, Quebec City!  European, yet with all the conveniences, bilingual citizens, transportation, currency exchange of any US large city.  We ate lunch in an off-the-main track French Restaurant, and loved every bite of the crepes.  Be sure to check out the art market; we like to buy a small oil or watercolor of each place we've toured in the world, and there were many talented artists from whom to pick.  
We only wish we could have spent more time in this gorgeous, historic city.

Quebec City

The city tour was interesting, but we wished we had taken a whale watch instead.

A city tour that was a lot of fun and educational.  We'd recommend it.

We called our cabin steerage. We were in a porthole room on the lowest passenger level, forward, and the cabin was crowded, noisy, bumpy, and uncomfortable. We were miserable in this cabin, and had tried for months before the cruise to buy an update.  None were available, alas.  We'll never sail with Norwegian again.

Review of Norwegian Dawn two-week round trip cruise from Boston to Quebec, 
October 5-19, 2012

This was an extremely disappointing cruise, given the many beautiful ports-of-call offered.And on our final day, in the line to disembark in Boston, we met a third dissatisfied passenger who said this was his 9th Norwegian cruise, the worst, and his last one.
