Mother Nature played a big part in this cruise,,,,she let us know who was boss in Peggy's Cove and calmed down later when she was satisfied. We had a group of 6....we LOVED every moment of the Cruise,,,partly because we were together,,,and partly because we were experiencing places and things we never had before,,,Yes, the bathroom in the cabin was small,,,yes , they would not open the dividers on the balconies, ( Mother Nature again), we now understand why. The food was great the service was slow at times and 99% of the staff were helpful and pleasant. It was a little chilly for the pools, although the kids had fun,,,but the Hot Tubs were wonderful. The Entertainment was great and all in al we had a great time...We heard a lot of grumbling about weather and holidays...we knew about the holidays,,shops closed,,no big deal, we dont travel to shop..and as far as Mother Nature,,,no one can control her of predict her,,,,so, you go with the flow and have the best time you can,,,we are so glad we went,,,. It was a wonderful time,,,our cabin attendant. Rufis on deck 9 was incredible,,, !
