Sunflower&Scientist Posted July 19, 2013 #1 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I really need some feedback on the best cruise line for New England/Canada. We've been on HAL and loved it. We're not into large party boats, more enjoy smaller ships that are quieter. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted July 19, 2013 #2 Share Posted July 19, 2013 There is no BEST just lines that suit your needs/want & budget more than the others Look at what ships do the route you want then narrow it down by what is important to you Oceania have smaller ships <700 pax not many party people on their cruises ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trophy_23 Posted July 19, 2013 #3 Share Posted July 19, 2013 We too have done HAL a couple times on the Eurodam in that area and really enjoyed it. I imagine other lines do a good job also. As mentioned base it on the itinerary, if it stops where you want to go and the ship fits then book it. Have you done HAL Canada/NE or just HAL elsewhere? They offer a few different itineraries and different cruise lengths (7,10,14 nights) that might fit what you are looking for. If you have done HAL and loved it, why change?

mtsnd1900 Posted July 20, 2013 #4 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Very small ships, take a look at Blount or other American Cruise small ship lines. Older crowd, more elegant - Princess. Family oriented Royal. NCL is also another nice family. HAL, nice but pricy. compare the ships, destinations, and price points. What are you looking for in terms of "best"? Quantum is coming in a year, as is the Royal Princess - both will sail New England in the years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexandra cruiser Posted July 20, 2013 #5 Share Posted July 20, 2013 picked Oceania.Going to ports I want to see and good dates for me.Having tried the LARGE cruiselines,find I prefer ones 700 passengers or less and not be "nickel and dimed" for every little thing. You truly get what you pay for,so your budget is a KEY factor.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted July 20, 2013 #6 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Maasdam's seven day Boston to Montreal and Montreal to Boston are about HAL's best short cruises IMO We do that cruise almost every summer b-to-b and never tire of it. We board in Boston and stay for the round trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
