Pearl Seas Canada & New England Cruise Reviews

Wanted to sail through the Saint Lawrence Seaway and visit Quebec, Montreal and Toronto. This is an expensive cruise that we had high expectations, that would go along with their premium cost. During rainy and cold weather the Ships Sun ☀️ Decks become worthless. Exercise equipment is out on those open decks and become unusable in bad weather. Lounges are small and not very functional to ...

I chose this cruise because it had 210 passenger capacity. When I boarded the ship in Portland Maine, I was taken aback by the lack of maintenance and the shabbiness of the ship. For the price of the cruise I expected high quality amenities and staterooms that were updated. This cruise occurred 2 years after the onset of COVID. The testing for Covid was disorganized at the beginning of the ...

We chose it because we had never been on an expensive luxury cruise before and wanted to treat ourselves. We liked that we could relax and be served at each meal and not have to deal with buffet lines. I was picturing outstanding gourmet meals in a lovely dining room with creative menus and desserts. Instead what we got at each meal was diner food. For instance when offered a seafood salad ...

We went to Toronto for two days before the cruise and had a private tour. The following is a summary of our experience: 1. We had the unpleasant surprise of three days of swarming bugs in our cabin. Woke up with them on my face, the bed and pillow and on the wall. Problem was finally solved but left me shaken. Because of the bug issue, we were unable to use our veranda for the entire trip. ...

This ship and the cruise did not live up to our expectations for the money we spent. The itinerary was good and visited some nice towns. The room was ordinary and plain. There was a very small closet that did not have a door on it. There was no mini fridge. The balcony was a reasonable size, but there were not sliding doors to get to it (on our deck). The view out from our room was not good - ...

The Pearl Mist wasn't built for a smooth sailing with Hurricane Anna causing elimination of a couple of advertised stops along the St. Lawrence Bay. Then a Nor-easter made the Bay of Fundy crossing one we won't forget listening to the 15-20 foot waves crashing into the ship. The Captain and crew did the best they could navigating across St. Lawrence Bay but had no choice but to go directly across ...

Definitely not a "luxury" cruise. Room 227 was extremely noisy and nothing was done to alleviate the problem. Food was average for a ruby Tuesday's type of chain restaurant. The BBQ oysters resembled hockey pucks, the oyster Rockefeller was present without "oyster". In general seafood was best eaten on shore not on board. Tours were poorly thought out and insufficient time was allocated for museum ...

This was the Great Lakes and Georgian Bay Cruise. It started in Chicago.  First I have to say what a beautiful area, and all the ports were wonderful.Everything from Holland, Mi to Mackinac Island and Niagara Falls were excellent. The ship ended up giving us all the excursions free because there were so many issues, I think they wanted to make it up to everyone. Staff was very nice and ...
