Your trip on the ferry sounds terrible and I would not want to do that.
What I suggest for you to do is to come to Florida by air, rent a car for a few days and go to some of the areas around Palm Beach, Singer Island, Boca Raton and then take a 10 day cruise on the Celebrity line to the Southern Caribbean. Book a cabin with a verandah. You will become hooked on cruising. Best time to do this is late September to mid-November.

Well, we're not "label" type folks and never had either a Lexus nor a Yugo.
We have a new Lincoln sedan and a Chrysler S.U.V.
We actually own our own pleasure boat......but as I said in another post, prefer to spend our vacation money in other ways......but thanks for your tips. Appreciate it. Cruising would not be our first choice of a vacation; we only use boats to get from point A to point B if necessary.......
The ship from Portland Maine to Yarmouth Nova Scotia was the Scotia Prince. Thankfully, now there is a "bridge" from New Brunswick to Prince Edward Island.........
I just looked up the SCOTIA PRINCE and am not really surprised that it is now GONE.

WOW........it’s gone to the scrap heap. Should have gone sooner. All I could think of was us drowning............
In later years we just "drove around" and then the Confederation Bridge was finished....so that made the trip even easier........
