Key Moments

Editorial Summary

The creators provide a detailed review of their Canada and New England cruise aboard the Emerald Princess, comparing the experience to previous trips to Alaska and the Caribbean. They caution travelers against booking solely for fall foliage, noting that the timing of peak colors is unpredictable and can easily be missed by a week. The review highlights that the itinerary is ideal for those who enjoy nature, history, and local culture, but it may not suit passengers seeking constant high-energy entertainment or water slides. Key logistical considerations include the necessity of using tender boats in certain ports like Bar Harbor and Rhode Island, as well as the significant amount of walking required in cities such as Boston. The creators describe the trip as a dense itinerary with many ports and limited sea days, which can be physically tiring. Ultimately, they recommend the cruise to travelers who appreciate diverse food, historical sites, and scenic landscapes, suggesting that those with mobility concerns should plan for extra transportation like Ubers.

Creator's Key Takeaways

we were able to go with our family on a Canada New England cruise and after doing Alaska and the Caribbean we kind of were looking at ideas of what would be another Cruise option out there

we booked this Cruise expecting to see a lot of fall colors and you know we really didn't see see too many fall colors there

personally if I was to recommend the can of New England cruise to somebody it would be to somebody that loves new Eng somebody that maybe has been to Alaska and loves Alaska

it was pretty tiring to you know walk so much in in every one of these uh ports and other thing to consider the cruise itinerary we did we had six ports I believe in seven days
