Canada & New England Cruise Reviews

We traveled on the carnival glory in June of 2013, the trip left from Boston, ma and travelled to Canada. I traveled with my toddler who had just turned two a week prior to the cruise and my elderly parents, with my handicapped father. We did not fly as we were fortunate to be only an hour from the port. Parking was a breeze and we were bussed to the dock. I was alone with my son and had to unload ...

Background Information This was the first cruise for our family which includes me, my wife and our two kids ages 8 and 5. The price and easy driving distance from Boston compelled us to give cruising a shot. And we're delighted we did.Travel To Port of EmbarkationWe live two hours north of Boston. We arrived at about 1:30pm. I dropped the family and the luggage at the curb and parked. After a ...

Carnival has had some real public relations problems, creating some doubt for us about a satisfactory cruise out of Boston to Saint John, which is so convenient for us. Embarkation was painless, but you should know that the advertised garage parking is unavailable to cruisers now and you must park in an open lot (4 days=$50) with transportation to pier by shuttle bus. In spite of the 3,000 people ...

What a great introduction to cruising on CCL! This is my first cruise, my wife's second. While the weather was terrible, the entertainment and activities aboard were just fine. We had a tiny porthole room for 4 on deck 2, and it was perfectly adequate for our needs. Favorite things: Food - duh! I eat uber-low-carb usually, but I had to break my own rules a few times. The cake-pops were a treat. ...

This cruise was our first first cruise for my wife and I. We had no particular expectations as we neither read the reviews nor looked at the photos in depth. We chose it mainly because of the low price and the port of embarkation. Coincidentally, 3 of my coworkers (and their families) also sailed on this cruise with one of them being on the exact cruise and we had a laugh about it. Overall, it was ...

We returned June 20th, from the 4 day Boston to Saint John Canada sailing of the Carnival Glory. Let me start by saying ANY vacation is most dependent upon the weather. Our weather was perfect, warm but not too warm. Seas were calm and sun out every day. This makes for any great vacation and it made for a great sailing.My wife and I have been cruising since 1976 on the Home Line ship Doric. We ...

This cruise was heavily discounted, and was a great value for the money. Carnival is the line for the masses, and although criticized by some for the "low-end" experience, when measured against cost, I think they deliver beyond what you pay. Let me say that every cruise line has a different "personality" and the key to having a good time is to quickly realize what the personality of the ...

What made this cruise exceptional was that Carnival called us at 6:30PM the night before we left and asked us if we would like to purchase an upgrade. We had purchased two rooms,one was in interior and the other was a ocean view. They wanted to know if I would like to upgrade the ocean view to a Grand Suite. The extra money for the upgrade was so worth it. We went from the second floor to the ...

The Glory has always been one of my favorite ships. This was a family and friend cruise, my brother and wife, daughter (45) and husband plus older daughter (47) plus some of daughter's friends. There were eleven of us in all. We went on the Glory out of Boston last July so I knew what to expect from the Cruise Terminal. We dropped of bags and passengers at terminal at 10 am and parked in a lot ...

In General: This was our second cruise (both with HAL). The flight in and hotel in Quebec were booked by us and not via HAL. The embarkation process couldn't have gone smoother. We were in our stateroom after maybe 10-15 minutes. The luggage was delivered promptly. We went on to explore the ship and found the colour scheme a lot less gaudy than de Zuiderdam'. We got our selfs a Greenroom Spa ...
