My husband and I just returned from our cruise to Maine and Canada. We're from the Boston area, so we weren't traveling as much for the ports as for the cruise experience. This was our fifth RCI cruise, the second on a Radiance Class ship. We love the moderate size of this class, and we don't need all the "bells and whistles" of the larger, newer ships.

We stayed in an ocean-view cabin, feeling that we didn't need a balcony on this cooler itinerary. The cabin was in very good shape, clean and well-kept. Our room attendant Clifton was a charming, attentive young man- very responsive to our needs.

We ate in the MDR every evening and were not disappointed. Our waitress Monica was awesome; she paid close attention to each guest, noticing, for example, when one older woman wasn't eating much but being discreet in asking if she felt well. The food was delicious, although we're not "foodies". The Windjammer was crowded on the first day and on sea days, but we were usually able to find seating fairly quickly. The choices didn't change much from day to day.

Port Reviews

Saint John (New Brunswick)

There wasn't much that we were interested in here.

Halifax

We enjoyed the Maritime Museum close to the pier.

Boston

Since we live in the area, we did not bother to visit Boston before or after the cruise.
