Cabin: Obstructed Ocean View Balcony

Overall, loved this ship! The staff was amazing (compared to that of Adventure of the Seas)! Our room steward, Putu, was so personal and really made us feel at home. The ship was very clean and fairly classy looking. The bionic bar broke down a couple times, but staff was on top of it and got it fixed as quickly as possible. I enjoyed all 3 main shows, though, We Will Rock You could have been better (it was a little weird). Spectre's Cabaret was my absolute favorite! It was so much fun...almost like one big dance party! Loved Two70. It was nice to go in during the vistarama and just enjoy the atmosphere. Only two complaints: 1)the guest services staff could've been more accommodating...they seemed very put off by any passenger that had and issue 2)the port of Halifax was a waste of time, in my honest opinion...pretty dirty place and not much to do there.

Cabin Review

Obstructed Ocean View Balcony

Cabin 2E

I can't believe this is considered an obstructed view balcony! There was a bar that went along the left corner, but that was it. It really didn't obstruct our view at all.

Port Reviews

Boston

So much to do in Boston and not nearly enough time to do it! We ended up simply doing the Freedom Trail on our own. Went to Boston Common and paid $9 for a book that contained all the stops and brief descriptions of each.

Portland (Maine)

Loved Portland! Such a beautiful city! Walking along the water was great and relaxing!

Bar Harbor

Beautiful port. Took an Acadia National Park tour once we got off the boat (not the trolley one). It was over 2 hours long and very informative. Don't forget to get your lobster roll while in Bar Harbor!!!!

Halifax

Waste of a port in my honest opinion. Nothing to do and the city seemed a little dirty. I have no plans of ever wanting to come back here.

Saint John (New Brunswick)

Great port! So much to see and do! We purchased tickets for the Pink Bus (the Hop-On-Hop-Off) and it was the best decision since this was our first time in Saint John. The Reversing Falls was so amazing! I highly recommend seeing the falls first thing in the morning, and then seeing it again later in the afternoon. That way you can see how the water changes direction.
