We chose this cruise to be able to sample New England without having to drive to locations. We chose RC as the cruise line based on a deal thru Cruises Only. We had not cruised the NE or any where in about 8 years. We enjoyed this cruise so much we may have to book another soon. The embarkation and disembarkation processes were smooth and timely. Loved having a choice of times to disembark on the last day of the cruise. Although we had an inside stateroom, it was more than adequate in roominess and the bathroom was bigger than I expected. The dining experiences were the BEST. The hours of the buffet, as well as sit down dinners were more than expected. The quality was good also. The food was good and the choices were outstanding. The ports were well thought out. There were varied items to do at each location. I do wish one of the stops had been on our trip back down the coast though. However, the staff did an outstanding job keeping everyone busy for the two days we were at sea at the end of the cruise. We booked all our excursions outside of the cruise line, so I cannot speak to that, however, I would always recommend the hop on hop off trollies and buses whenever available, as seems to be the best way to see the towns.
The cabin was more than adequate for the two persons traveling in our group. The bathroom was roomier than I expected. The housekeeping staff was very attentive without being intrusive. Were VERY friendly when we passed in the halls. Answered any questions we had and provided extras of things we needed (towels, blankets, etc.)
