I am tossing around these 2 itineraries. Any input would be appreciated. Never been to any of the ports listed. Would probably get to either embarkation port a day or so early. Water activities (other than being on a boat tour) are not of interest. Mostly sightseeing, nature, etc. No children on the cruise.
I realize the Joy would go through different locks than the Jade. Would that be something to take into consideration for the first time going?
