Donder1 Posted April 15, 2013 #2 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I don't know the answer to your question and I am certainly not trying to change the topic. But, since you are considering New England/Canada cruises, when you make your decision, think about "Peak Foliage". If you have not seen the colors, they are magnificent. Here in Portland Maine I would advise sailing the last week in Sept or first week in October. There is a great chance you will encounter peak colors from Quebec City to Boston during these times. I love the fall here and often go down to the pier when the ships come in just to see them as they loom over the Old Port in Portland. If you ever see a women with the biggest Great Dane you have ever seen, say hello. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogun Posted April 15, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Hi Donder1 Have been before thats why we want to go back, as to time we will book the last ship out of Quebec and go b2b so we end up in the Caribbean, however we will spend a few days in Quebec first. Last time we start off in the snow, and as we travelled south we saw the changes, Maine was past its best for colour but still very nice, yours Shogun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shogun Posted April 16, 2013 Author #6 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Hi Twinkstarr, Wish Princess would publish this type of info, so we can plan things, do not need prices. yours Shogun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinkstarr Posted April 16, 2013 #7 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Hi Twinkstarr, Wish Princess would publish this type of info, so we can plan things, do not need prices. yours Shogun Looks like the Royal & Ruby will be doing the Canada/NE trips, since their TA's end in NYC. At least that's how it looks to me. I need the schedule also, trying to plan anything with my sister is :eek:. Just planning a long weekend this fall with her is taking more effort than I put into a week long trip with Hubby & the boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare geoherb Posted May 1, 2013 #12 Share Posted May 1, 2013 We planned our New England/Canada cruise for the second week of August 2002 hoping to get peak colors. Fall was late that year and we saw hardly any (except for one maple tree in Halifax that had started changing earlier than the rest). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

58Piano Posted May 2, 2013 #17 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Donder1 from Portland Maine How cold is it late Sept when the foilage peaks? I am from Florida. I have never seen a good snow fall. I get cold easily. Always wanted to do the Canada/New England cruise. Does it rain a lot at that time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Coral Posted May 3, 2013 #18 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I have gone 2x and missed fall colors both times (except 1 day). One cruise was October 15th and we were too early for every port. The next cruise was about a week later (repo from Quebec to FLL). We were late for fall foliage North of Boston (hit snow in Quebec), hit fall colors perfectly on Halloween in Boston and then South of Boston, we were early. I would give up on trying to hit colors and try to go for good weather which is probably as difficult to predict as fall colors :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipfriend_max Posted May 6, 2013 #19 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Glad to see that the Caribbean itineraries of Princess are getting better in 2014/15!! :) Ruby Princess offers two really appealing Eastern Caribbean and one interesting Western Caribbean itinerary! :) Sadly Princess' Canada/NE season starts so late! Would be great to see a Princess ship in Canada/NE in lalte Aug. or mid of September!! But the itinerary o Ruby P. looks great! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
