Wanted to see the New England island but because on the weather did not make it to two of the islands. The small ship allowed for personal service by the crew to all on board. we where able to meet many new friends as we where able to dine together and travel on the day tours. The captain and first mate were very professional and offered additional information about the ship and tour activities. We enjoyed the shore excursions especially the duck tour in Boston, the Herrshof tour and the mansion in Bristol. The food was excellent offering a variety of dishes. All of the staff where very professional and went out of their way to make us feel at home. We have signed up for another cruise and are planning to travel to Main next July. We hope our next cruise does not experience bad weather and the ship is more up to date on its cabins.
