The SSQQ 2006 New England Cruise

Saturday, September 23 - Saturday, September 30
Aboard Royal Caribbean's Jewel of the Seas

In late September 2006, 38 intrepid members of our group plus two party crashers explored New England and Northeast Canada

We went in search of Nature's paintbrush plus  the beauty of the rugged New England coastline.  Besides the sight-seeing, this was a golden opportunity to learn first-hand about the rich history of this famous area.

For many of us, the trip proved to be an unusual combination of thrills and frustrations. 
 

As you will read in the coming pages, each port of call proved to be as good as or BETTER than advertised. 

Places like Acadia National Park, Martha's Vineyard, and Portland provided marvelous scenery. As a nice bonus, the two Canadian ports at Halifax and St John turned out to be interesting as well.  If you wanted
scenery, you got it.  If you wanted adventure like biking, hiking, or kayaking, you got it. And if you wanted history, there was plenty of that.  The 5 ports of call were a terrific package.

However the group's enthusiasm was tempered by the continued inability of our ship's crew to get us on and off the ship in a timely fashion. 

On two occasions, we had our seven hour visits cut down to about two or three hours by the incompetence of the "tendering crew". 

And there were other disruptions as well.  Every day had its ups and downs. The problems with the crew explains why this was the most 'uneven' trip I have ever taken.

And now it's for our story to begin.
