My wife and I just completed our second cruise. It was a five day Canadian cruise aboard the Carnival Glory out of Boston, MA, with stops in St John, New Brunswick and Halifax, Nova Scotia. Our first cruise, aboard the Disney Dream, was detailed in my February 27, 2012 blog (Living the Disney Dream).

After a day at sea, our first port of call was St John. We did the “Top 10 Best of Saint John” excursion which was highlighted by a pair of trips to the Reversing Falls Rapids. It was the first stop and later in the day our final stop and it afforded us the opportunity to view the river moving in the opposite direction from the morning visit.

The following day we ported in Halifax. Our primary excursion was to Peggy’s Cove. We drove to the tip of a cramped promontory and our tour bus was parked with four other similar vehicles – and more kept coming. There's no denying that Peggy's Cove is scenic but, the combination of damp drizzly weather and so many people in this confined space made this a non-highlight for me.

Overall, I think the Carnival cruise compared favorably to the Disney cruise. For example, the meals were of similar quality and both vessels had good shows in their main theaters and comics who I thought were funny.
We must have enjoyed it; we’ve begun the process of booking a 2013 Carnival cruise.
Do you have a guess regarding cruise weight gain?
According to the Glory’s cruise director the average weight gain per day for a cruise is 1.5 pounds for a total of 7.5 pounds. I believe it!
