Was wondering which Canada/ New England cruise to book. We are especially interested in fall foliage and best ports. I see that Princess has about 10 options for the fall of 2018 and was wondering which might be preferred. Thanks for any advice.

Anything by Vince Flynn. His new book is American Assassin.

I feel like a total idiot. I usually don't fall for these deals. Went to a so called free seminar on a Princess cruise and ended up wasting almost $500. on Elemis Detox program. The "free seminar" was just to rope me in so that I could be sold a product. I wonder what Princess cruise's cut is. I chalk it up to lesson learned. I cannot believe that a reputable cruise company like Princess allows their customers to be bilked like this. I have since read up on this toxic cleansing stuff and found out that no real scientific data exists to support that it does one bit of good and you are probably just better off changing your diet to a healthy one and let your body do its work.

in the Alaska Tour Saver book. It was perfect. 10 people on the boat counting the excellent skipper and his assistant Danielle (very knowledgeable). We literally saw 70 or more whales including Orcas. We saw bubble net feeding which was incredible. We also got the two for one deal in the TSB. It just could not have been better. All of those on board the boat were from Cruise Critics board.

the night before the cruise. PWS cruise will pick us up in the morning, keep out luggage for that day and then drop us off at the ship after the PWS cruise at around 5:50P. If that works for you it is a great way to use your time before boarding.
