The ship was absolutely beautiful; great size - not too large; the crew friendly and so helpful; the programs good and the cast friendly and talented. The food choices varied and excellent. The land tours were good and educational. My pursers were attentive and friendly. The towns visited were incredible showing a great itinerary. My only regret is that we didn't have more time in Quebec and NYC. I am amazed by the bus tour drivers, especially in NYC - he was unflappable since we were one hour late arriving at the ship and had to go through detours and heavy Saturday afternoon pedestrian and car traffic. The tour guides were knowledgeable and helpful if we wanted to exit before returning to the ship. I especially enjoyed the Explorer Lounge in the evenings and the great split pea soup available in late evenings - along with the beautiful entry into the NY Harbor under the Veranzzano Bridge.
