I chose this trip because of the New England itinerary and hoping to see the fall color. You could leave out Portland. The ship did not have enough for senior citizens unless you like the casino. The meals in the main dining room were mediocre. The shows in the Royal Theatre were not great. There were a few shows that were very good. The food in the everyday dining room was very good but it was way too small for the size of the ship. The stores were just O K and the sales people didn't seem anxious to help you.The crew was very friendly and helpful. The television did not have enough good stations to watch - such as sports channels and Fox News. I did order room service and thst worked out well. I loved the bed and the sheets were fantastic. I am not sure I would choose such a large ship again.
