We Just Returned from a Canada & New England Cruise!
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creators provide a comprehensive review of a seven day Canada and New England cruise aboard the Holland America Line ship, New Statendam. The review begins with an examination of the ship's amenities, including the pool decks, sports facilities, and fitness center. The creators evaluate various dining options, ranging from the casual Lido Market buffet and Dutch specialties at the Grand Dutch Cafe to specialty restaurants like Tamarind, Pinnacle Grill, and Rudy's Selderere. They note that while the main dining room was average, the specialty dining was outstanding, though they found Canaletto to be a disappointment. The video also covers onboard entertainment, highlighting the diverse live music venues and theatrical productions. After reviewing their veranda stateroom, the creators detail their experiences at five ports of call: Bar Harbor, Maine; Halifax, Nova Scotia; Sydney, Nova Scotia; Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island; and Quebec City, Quebec. They share details regarding booked shore excursions, such as Acadia National Park and a walking tour of Peggy's Cove, as well as spontaneous activities like a bus tour in Charlottetown. The review concludes with observations on embarkation and debarkation processes.
