etravel Posted August 10, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 10, 2022 So decided on NCL Escape for 2023, there is a end of August New England Canada and end of September as well...so end of September does Newport R.I., Portland, Bar Harbor, Saint John, and Halifax and 1 day at sea...the end of August date includes 2 days at sea, and does not do Newport...also very similar pricing...would you steer towards the earlier or later date as far as weather, and thoughts on Newport is it a city not to be missed? Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The remnants of hurricanes and tropical storms often track along the coast up through that area, but of course those are not that common. I'd guess that the chances of it happening are pretty similar in August and September. Newport has its mansions which seem to have become more of a tourist attraction than in some other places, but apart from that I don't know of anything that really sets it apart from other New England coastal cities. If it's your one visit to the area I think that Portland would give you pretty much the same flavor as Newport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
