Because I wanted to see Maine and Canada . We didn't take a cruise out of Baltimore before and we live there so thought it would be fun. Weather was beautiful ports were great. A bit crowded in Boston. Service in the restaurant was amazing. Room was fine but shower way way to small. Entertainment in my opinion was just ok. Pools were great. Hot tubs were great. Nice big towels easy to get to. Good ice cream. Had plenty of that. Didn't think they sold much stuff in the stores related to the ports you went to. Thought they could have had more. Food in main dining room was very good. Desert was also great. . Lots of places to sit my the pool. And to listen to the music. I also thought they were in your face a little to much trying always to sell you something. Didn't care for that
