We haven't been on a cruise in many months and we haven't been on a Royal Caribbean cruise since 2008. Our previous experiences were all right; and we wanted to see New England as we've been the Caribbean far too often.
Ports:
I enjoyed the Itinerary. Boston was great, so much to do and a nice long time in Boston. Portland, Maine was fabulous, Bar Harbor, Maine was foggy and cold, and a lot of local businesses were closed (it was a Monday, and the place has a lot of Mom and Pop shops).
Great space for the four of us in one room, good size balcony, but again the plumbing went out on the first night (never happened before in our 17 years of cruising) and it only had 2 outlets, also, there was no divider between the bed and sitting area.
Balcony also retained water, and by the last day, dead bugs were everywhere.
