We enjoyed a wonderful cruise for 14 nights, sailing on 27th September, visiting incredible ports along the way. The first thing to note is our choice of cruiseline & ship was based primarily on itinery. Norwegian offer this area as two B2B cruises: Boston to Quebec and Quebec to Boston. Crucially for us, with one exception (Halifax), the ports were different for each leg making for a memorable 14 night cruise.

We thoroughly enjoyed the ship, the food for the most part was good. Some of the reviews do make me wonder if some cruisers forget that we are talking about a cruiseline, like most others, catering for the masses....that means the food provided and served is "banquet food" i.e. they need to feed upwards of 2000 people, and do an extremely good job in that regard. By necessity, not everything can be perfect and isn't.

The main show theatre entertainment was poor, especially the production shows. However, most nights in the Atrium the most amazing singing/musical duo perform and they rescued the entertainment for us! Without them, it would have been somewhat disappointing. On the final night of each leg that duo (Jose & Patti) get the main show theatre to perform a Neil Diamond + tribute show which was a packout on both occasions, and is excellent just about making up for the poor shows throughout the rest of the cruise.
