Living in the northeast we never really considered sailing out of Boston. That's all changed now. Truly enjoyed this cruise. Weather in all the ports was sunny and 70 degrees. The staff was on their game and very friendly. The ship is in great shape and easy to navigate. We did the three night specialty dining special. Did Izumi two nights and Giovanni for the third night. Food and service was great. If you have never tried this cruise I would highly recommend it.

This was a family cruise with a 10 year old. There was not a lot of other kids his age but he enjoyed the activities that were offered.

As for shore excursions we only did one in Halifax. We did the hop on hop off bus pass and trip to Peggy's Cove. We did the hop on hop off in the morning, very crowded and not much fun. Boarded a bus to Peggy's Cove and due to traffic and many tour buses we were only alotted 35 minutes at Peggy's. Disappointing and not worth the money. Read more
