I am not an NCL fan but chose this cruise for the itinerary. I prefer a port-intensive cruise and this one had only a single sea day. I was happy to do something different and was anxious to see the Fall Colors and the east coast. It was a bonus to be cruising out of New York, which afforded the opportunity for a pre-cruise mini-vacation.

The sail away was misty and our first port was Newport Rhode Island.

Port #2 was Portland, Maine

My Favorite Port was Bar Harbor Maine and Acadia National Park. Wishing I would have taken the hop on/hop off bus as our NCL excursion did not allow any time for exploring the park – which was the highlight of the trip for me.

We made it to St. John – Bay of Fundy in Canada where one of the top attractions is the reversing falls – water flows from the bay up river and then turns around later to flow into the bay.

Our Final Port was Halifax, NS – and the very popular Peggy’s cove with lunch in Lunenberg
