airportjiffy Posted June 3, 2010 #1 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Planning a cruise to New England / Canada and I have narrowed it down to 2 cruises both with the same itineraries, Caribbean Princess 8/14 and Norwegian Dawn 9/12. The Norwegian Dawn looks like a more interesting ship to me and there will less children in September which is a definite plus for me (no offense parents). My main concern is the weather. My travel partner prefers warmer temperatures, but both of us want to avoid rain and fog as much as possible which I understand is more likely in August. Seeing some fall foliage would be nice too. As you can see, I am totally undecided and need some advice on which cruise to go on. I need to make a decision soon so i can book it! I have gotten so many great ideas for shore excursions from here already so any opinions on which cruise to go on would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonnieg Posted June 4, 2010 #2 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Why not the Caribbean Princess on Sept 11? I have been on both NCL and Princess and like Princess much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrusinAgain Posted June 8, 2010 #4 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Caribbean Princess if you want a nice cruise. We tried NCL once and it was not the cruiseline for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you will be glad you chose Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
