There used to be a local bus that went to Louisborg. There are some local tours and private guides that do tours. I would definitely arrange something in advance.

I totally agree. The waterfront walk is excellent. Don"t miss going to the museum It is right along the waterfront walk as well as a visitor center that may be helpful. We enjoy taking the public ferry round trip across the river for another perspective.of the city. The public garden are in Halifax are beautiful but I am not sure if your electric scooters would be up to the steep streets leading there.

I tired to rent a car there in October 2019. I was arriving by cruise ship and was requesting a reservation weeks in advance. The rental company was very kind and gave me lots of information about the area, roads, driving time, etc.. I must have been on the phone with this extremely helpful agent for well over a half hour. After the lengthy conversation, I didn't reserve a car. Early September is the end of their tourist/visitor season. Many services are greatly cut back or eliminated at that time. I am a seasoned traveler and prefer independent experiences, but always consider safety first. Renting a car at this time of the, year, in this port with limited services, for me was not a wise choice especially given a strict ship's sailing time. THis is a wonderful, welcoming port. There is a visitor center in the port terminal that you can contact in advance. When a ship comes in, the local people come out and make the port area like a festival for the entire day. I had a fantastic day surrounded by and mingling with the local people,

Is a dark blue blazer (2 or 3 button style) or a double breasted dark blue blazer with a dress shirt and tie acceptable in the Britannia dining room on formal nights? That seems to be what is stated in the new dress code: jacket, with dress shirt and tie required for men on formal evenings. The new dress code states nothing about a dark suit or tux. I have always worn a tux on formal evenings and a jacket with tie all other nights in the Britannia dining room. I would welcome having to pack less. Any input on what is required in relation to the new dress requirements would be appreciated.

I have been told by a Cunard agent in the California office that men are no longer required to wear jackets on casual evenings in the Britannia dining room. The new dress code that was sent to me states slacks and a dress shirt for men on casual evenings in Britannia dining room; jacket, dress shirt and tie on formal nights. I would be pleased with any additional information related to the new dress code.

I am sorry to hear your recent report of service on board our favorite ship. I sail in 2 weeks and hope for a better experience with service I have come to expect on QM2. Perhaps you can take a few minutes to quickly answer my question on Cunard's new dress code. Approximately what percentage of men were no longer wearing jackets in Britannia dining room for dinner on Casual nights? The new dress code states slacks and a dress shirt for men on casual nights in Britannia dining room; no jacket required. For formal nights the new dress code states a jacket and tie for men. They have a photo of a gentleman in a sports jacket, slacks, dress shirt and tie for a formal night. They have a photo of a lady for a formal night in a short black dress. They also show a couple in the typical formal attire we are accustomed to. It is very confusing. We would welcome the opportunity to include less formal wear in packing. Where there many passengers in less formal wear on the formal evenings? Thank you for any light you can shed on the subject.
