First time cruising in many years. Very impressed with friendliness of staff on board. Food was excellent t (I only ate in the dining room). No real concerns with waiting around in line. Generally short lines everywhere other than boarding in Quebec City. Quebec
I chose this itinerary as it features some excellent ports for bike riding. Connected with local bike shops in Charlottetown and Sydney to rent a road bike. Did a 70km route along the Confederation Trail in Charlottetown and 50km route Along the coastline in Sydney. E-bike tour in Halifax and mountain biking in Bar Harbour.
On board environment is what you make of it. Want laid back, head to thermal suite or join a trivia session. Want late night activities head to Spinnaker lounge.
Clean refreshed look. Great for 1, not a lot of cupboard space for 2. Wouldn’t consider any more than that.
Had to take a free shuttle to the main port terminal. Lots of things to do in Halifax. Consider doing an e-bike tour and cost Alexander Keith’s for a different from the norm brewery tour.
Rented a road bike from local shop for an enjoyable 50km ride along the coast.
Pretty city, tough if you don’t want to visit Anne of Green Gables. Rented a road bike from a local shop and did a 70km ride out to Mt Stewart. Rewarded with ice cream at Cow’s.
