The itinerary needs to be reviewed.Although everything about the ship is excellent this particular cruise seemed to be for 2 different groups of people—those who wanted expeditions in Zodiacs and canoes and those who wanted to go on land to sightsee.The result was that neither group would have been fully satisfied unless all one wanted was to stay on board all the time. It was unfortunate that the weather prevented trips in 2 places as we couldn’t be tendered off the boat which meant even more time at sea. The overpriced Zodiac expeditions was all that was available in the North of Canada and they were very short. Some of the ports visited like Happy Valley Goose Bay seemed to be just to drop off the expedition staff and for the convenience of the cruise line as there was absolutely nothing to see there. No wonder they had not had a cruise ship in there for 13 years!The overpriced trips generally were not well thought out and need to be revised. Thank goodness that the ship ,speakers,entertainmenton on board,and staff were so good.I am rating the ship and not the trip in my score below.
