don2738 Posted January 11, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Took me a while to get around to this, but I made a webpage so I could put in video, large photos, google interactive maps to the pier in Montreal and Boston, and do the Maasdam justice. I've taken about a dozen cruises now, and this my new favorite ship. I found the small size to be a real plus, but still lots of ship! Loved the busy St. Lawrence and small city / town ports we visited. If you are considering the Maasdam Canada / New England cruise, check out my lengthy review at: http://www.dwdav.com/maasdam2/maasdam5.html I hope it helps you decide if this is the ship and cruise for you.

borasue Posted January 11, 2015 #3 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Outstanding photography and excellent review! We did the reverse, Boston to Montreal, last May. Looks like you had MUCH better weather! Guess we'll just have to do it again… later in the season next time! :p Glad you had a great trip and thanks for sharing your link!

sail7seas Posted January 11, 2015 #4 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I've done that Maasdam cruise, b-to-b, Boston to Montreal to Boston so many times and never tire of it. It's fabulous. Hope to do it again. :) Great you enjoyed so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakeside42 Posted January 11, 2015 #7 Share Posted January 11, 2015 What a fantastic review and your photos are just beautiful. This cruise is definitely on my bucket list. The ship itself looks wonderful, so far have only cruised with HAL on the Nieuw Amsterdam and have an upcoming cruise booked on the Statendam. Glad you enjoyed the cruise and thanks for posting.

laurmac Posted January 11, 2015 #10 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Thank you so much for posting this. We did the same cruise exactly 1 year before you did (we even ran into the same marathon in Quebec City - I had forgotten about it until I saw your video!) It brought back great memories - it reminded me that we have to do this itinerary again...and soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimicaj Posted January 11, 2015 #14 Share Posted January 11, 2015 My husband and I are doing this itinerary in June on the Masdaam (in reverse as we embark in Boston).

ShipsAreTheBest Posted January 13, 2015 #24 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Thank you for your great review! Brought back many great memories as we were on Maasdam about a month before you, reverse itinerary. Great ship, great crew and marvelous weather! Just a beautiful trip!

slabeaume Posted January 13, 2015 #25 Share Posted January 13, 2015 We weren't sure we'd like the "small" ship feel, until we went on the Maasdam 11 night Caribbean cruise last April. We loved it so much we're on the 14 night April one this year! Now seeing your pictures, we may have to take her on that itinerary, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
