LAWRENCE SEAWAY...ROOM FACED THE SEAWAY* ONE MORNING<BR>AS I PULLED BACK THE DRAPERY, LO AND BEHOLD<BR>A CRUISE SHIP WAS DOCKED (VERY EXCITING AS I HAD NEVER SEEN ONE UP CLOSE)* SO AFTER BREAKFAST I WALKED OVER TO ONE OF THE PASSENGERS AND ASKED HER WHERE THE CRUISE ORIGINATED FROM AND WHERE IT WAS GOING* I'M<BR>NOT ABSOLUTELY SURE POINT OF ORIGIN BUT I THINK SHE SAID IT WAS BOSTON AND FINAL DESTINATION WAS MONTREAL* THEY STOPPED AT <BR>SEVERAL PORTS ALONG THE WAY AND WENT UP AROUND NOVA SCOTIA* HAS ANYONE EVER TAKEN<BR>THIS CRUISE AND WHAT WAS THE NAME OF THE<BR>CRUISE LINE* ALSO, I'D BE INTERESTED KNOWING<BR>WHAT IT COST, APPROXIMATELY, AND DID YOU ENJOY IT* MY HUSBAND AND I ARE NOT INTO HOT<BR>WEATHER VACATIONS..BUT WE'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO TRY A CRUISE AND THIS ONE SOUNDED LIKE IT<BR>WAS RIGHT UP OUR ALLEY SINCE THE COLORS OF FALL WERE OUT AND IT WAS AT THIS TIME OF YEAR* THANKS FOR ANY INFO YOU CAN GIVE ME*

Wow was I surprised!<BR>Try www.1cruise.com<BR>Enter in New England---then the month you are interested in--hit SEARCH.<BR>I just checked one of them for an example. Carnival Legend 11 nights inside $659.<BR>balcony was $837.<BR> I personally would have jumped at this rate, but I am already booked on two cruises for Oct. I'll have to remember these prices for next year.<BR> There were many other ships mentioned, but atleast this is a starting point for you to do some research. I personally book with CruisesOnly. The website I gave you has lots of info.<BR>Hope this helps you some.

That website is<BR>www.icruise.com

My neighbors are leaving next week from LAX They are taking the Golden Princess Cruise to the New England States. They will not be going to Quebec. Will know more about it when they return and will send in info

Thank you for your replies to my inquiry* I found the icruise.com site very helpful and checking into the Oct.<BR>cruise with Norwegian Cruise Lines* If<BR>I recall, the ship I did see was a Princess Line but I didn't find anything<BR>listed for them on that site* No matter, I'll be happy to just go and enjoy the Fall colors from a different <BR>vantage point* Thank you again for your<BR>input*

Let's hope that anyone taking a cruise to see the Fall colors will report back to us. I would love to do it next year.

Our neighbors returned from their Golden Princess cruise. Their big disappointment was the lack of folliage colors. Also just not enough time to see the sights on the bus tours. For instance, my neighbor loved Boston and would of enjoyed more time there. So the answer, I believe is to allow more days after the cruise to go back and enjoy before departing on the plane back. Oh, well. We learned something from their experience.
