CRUISEBOY305 Posted October 17, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Leaving for Boston tomorrow morning and leaving on Brilliance on Sunday. Thought I'd do a semi-Live review of this trip. This will be my second Canada / New England cruise and first time on Brilliance. While I'm on the cruise I'll be posting mostly IPhone photo's but when I return I'll post my semi-professional photos. Here's my itinerary and what my plans are in each port SAT - Arrive in Boston Sun - Depart Boston Mon - At Sea Tues - Halifax (Private Tour with Blue Diamond to Peggy's Cove, Mahone Bay, and Lunenburg) Wed - At Sea Thurs - St. Johns, New Brunswick (Pink Bus Hop on Hop Off) Fri - Bar Harbor, ME (Renting a private vehicle and driving around Acadia) Sat - Portland, ME (Lobster Fishing with Lucky Catch) Feel free to ask any questions and I'll respond when I can. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coochuck Posted October 17, 2014 #4 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Did this cruise last week...wonderful ship and crew...cant' say enough about it. Best stop was Baa Ha Brrrr Maine! Food on ship in the dinning room was pretty good, windjammer, not so much...enjoy! Weather at all stops was great with the exception of Portland, but you can't control the weather.

wahmx3 Posted October 18, 2014 #7 Share Posted October 18, 2014 The weather is supposed to be nice but cooler, temps in the low 50's in the afternoon. You will love Peggy's Cove. Too bad you weren't coming to PEI! Enjoy the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunkissed Mommy Posted October 18, 2014 #14 Share Posted October 18, 2014 (edited) Hope you have a great trip! We just sailed on the Brilliance on Oct 5th, I am currently writing up my review on here. Looks like you're doing much different things in port than we did. We flew on JetBlue as well, great flight. What hotel is that? I'll be following along with your adventure. :) Edited October 18, 2014 by smileyperry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
