GEARADRIFT Posted August 10, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Once again, we are probably going to push the (Sep '19) cruise to Bermuda back one more time. I was leaning towards another Alaska Cruise next year, this time out of Seattle. However, my better half had been exchanging cruise experiences with co-workers a few weeks back and New England/Canada came up. From the last week of August to the 2nd week of October 2019 (our window of opportunity to cruise), I have drilled down to the 7N Serenade and the 6N Adventure. There is also the 9N Anthem, but I would not have that at the top of our list. Simply regarding the class of ship, would you be heading to Boston for a 7N on the Serenade of the Seas or to Cape Liberty for a 6N on the Adventure of the Seas? Inquiring minds value your opinion. Or, is it inquisitive? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEARADRIFT Posted August 10, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Why not? I would. I should have clarified. 'I' could make a 9N cruise work. Does not work for the wife's work schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted August 10, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I'd go with the longer cruise and superior visibility of Serenade. I'd also prefer Boston to beautiful, gorgeous Bayonne, only because it's not common for Royal to cruise from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those with more time the 11 day snowbird cruise from Quebec city is available. have booked and really looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have enjoyed the Brilliance and the Radiance. I just like that class of ship. Before I pulled the CC out, I just wanted to see if there was something I may be missing regarding ships.

138east Posted August 10, 2018 #7 Share Posted August 10, 2018 If you book from Boston, start looking for hotels early because the fall weekends are busy and hotels are expensive. Consider making a placeholder reservation very early. Then start watching Hotwire in late May. Any 3* and up hotel in the Seaport District will be fine - these are all newer hotels and convenient to the airport, the Cruiseport, and public transit on the Silver Line. You can even get to this area for free by public transit from Logan! I'm doing Bermuda in Sep and was able to help roll call mates find hotel deals in the Seaport area for Serenade.

kccrzr Posted August 10, 2018 #8 Share Posted August 10, 2018 If Bar Harbor is a port stop, I would go with the cruise which will have the least number of ships there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mets123 Posted August 10, 2018 #9 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Fyi....bar harbor is a tender if that matters... And Portland only has room for two ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitbull1130 Posted August 12, 2018 #10 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Jeannette and I are doing a b2b starting Sept 16th, we love the size and feel of the Radiance class ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
