Admittedly my experience with cruises is particularly limited, but this should give both the uninitiated and the cruise veterans an idea of what to expect on this lesser known short trip. First of all, it is a trip on a big boat (OK, correct me to use the word ship…I am not a nautical man, but I digress). As with any traveling adventure, you must take a few things for granted. For example, if you have a great fear of the open ocean, or if you have a great problem with sea-sickness, this probably isn’t for you. It is not that this particular journey is any more or less susceptible to those issues than any other cruise, but these facts or risks are assumed in any such trip, so think about it before you book it. In addition, this is a short jaunt to a SMALL Canadian island significantly north of the debarkation point in Manhattan (an even smaller island?), so be prepared for cooler temperatures.

Did You Know?
Because the United States has such restrictive rules on maritime crew nationality, crew composition, ship owner citizenship and ship building requirements, more than 90% of the commercial ships calling on U.S. ports carry a non-U.S. flag, including many cruise liners.
