We choose this cruise because we wanted to see the fall colors and this seemed like a good way to do it. WRONG, of the four ports to visit, Bar Harbor was cancelled due to fog. We later learned it was because the tenders to take us ashore did not have radar.

The fog was only 1/2 mile deep from the shore, so if radar was available on the tenders we would have been able to go ashore and get away from the fog (if still there, it burns off quickly). They nickel and dime you to no end, they never stop trying to sell you some service or future cruise, the food isn't bad it is awful, the drinks are expensive and so is the

wine for the price you pay and the quality you get. Did I say the food was awful, My husband got sick on the crab cakes, but here were plenty of hot dogs and pizza to make up for it, Most of he food tasted like it was frozen or just warmed up. The strip\ steak they had the nerve to serve was 1/8 thick and had no taste not to mention shoe leather tough.

Cabin Review

Mid-Ship Mini-Suite with Balcony

Cabin MA

About average, bathroom needs more attention. Bathtub, not a good idea it is

about 21/2 feet from outside tub can be had to get in and out . Stingy on towels.

However, good storage space if you take a lot of clothes as I often do you will have plenty

of room. Cabi under the pool area is very noisy at 6am when crew is dragging chair and

lounges across the deck.
