One cruise destination I have done more than once is New England and the Canadian Maritime provinces. Given that this route usually runs from New York to Halifax, NS, there is not much new to see on this route. Yes, some cruises stop at one or more of these ports: Newport, RI; Boston, MA; Portland, ME; and Bar Harbor, ME. But these are all places I have visited before as Marian and as Mario. The basic New England/Canada 7 day cruise has become boring to me.
When I saw a 16 day cruise with these ports, my eyes perked up (as did the rest of me):
- Halifax, NS (Canada)
- Sydney, NS (Canada)
- Nuuk, (Greenland)
- Nanortalik, (Greenland)
- Qaqortoq, (Greenland)
- St. John's, NL (Canada)
Not only were there 5 new ports for me, but the single port I wanted to visit again was on the list as well. Although this cruise would not add any points to my NCL status (this cruise is on Princess), it would be unique. The only way I'd have a chance of getting to the last 5 ports would be on a pair of (25 and 36 day) cruises being sailed by Holland America next year.
Given that there is no single supplement at the time I write, I could take this cruise for under $2000. If I were to take this cruise, should I go as Mario or Marian? What do you think?
