Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm on here for 10 nights on a cruise out of New York City up through New England and into Canada and then back down

I really really enjoyed my visit here and I would love to go back when when more things feel open and also when a lot of the construction was over

today has been excellent today's been one of my favorite Cruise ports so far and I would never offer that award lately

Creator's Tips & Advice

Try to spend two or three dollars per port to support local towns
Check the daily schedule delivered to your cabin every morning
If you're a solo traveler, be aware that dining times may be rigid
