Additional details
The visits to Nova Scotia, Prince Edwards Island, St John, Halifax and Quebec made this a very worthwhile cruise.
The good; The ship was in excellent shape, the crew wan very friendly, accommodating and very competent. The food was good to very good although many courses where too salty.
The land tours were good and all tour guides were exceptional, very knowledgeable and helpful. Some tour stops were unnecessary, such as spending over an hour at a small, market (mostly food) in the "Best of ST John" tour
Cabin Review
Family Penthouse with Balcony
The penthouse was very comfortable (by the time we booked there were no suitable rooms available). The price difference was small and well worth it. The concierge was excellent and changed dinner reservations so it did not interfere with the shows (whose starting time should be listed before the trip so that dinner plans can be made accordingly).
Port Reviews
Bar Harbor
Stopping for an hour at a food market was waste of time, otherwise good tour
Charlottetown (Prince Edward Island)
Walked around on our own. WW memorial sculpture was very moving
Saguenay
Beautiful boat trip and look outs from the top
Quebec City
Return to boat with every 15 minute shuttle bus should be included instead of immediate return by bus after tour was finished
