Never got an Alfredo type sauce on the garlic prawns.  Thinking some sous chef made a mistake.

 I hope so!  I don’t know for sure what type of sauce it was, but it was creamy/white and definitely not garlic/herb butter.

Canadian cruise ports include Saint John, New Brunswick, and St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. There's no St John in the Maritimes, at least none that's a port.

 

I agree that Saint John itself isn't a great port to visit, but there are numerous interesting excursions available beyond city limits. 

The Saint John we went to was the one in New Brunswick.  I would have liked to see the Reversing Falls, but it was too far from the port for my mother to walk and we didn’t see any cabs.

Oasis only does 1 Canada cruise that only goes from cape liberty to St John, New Brunswick . they only do this one off sailing when they need to switch oasis Bahamas sailings from a Sunday to a Friday 

Just was on this sailing- St John was probably my least favorite port I have been to.  Halifax was beautiful but there was still noticeable smoke in the air from the recent fires.  The Oasis itself was generally phenomenal and the star of the show.

Just had both on the Oasis.  Caribbean menu was ok but by comparison the worst dinner of the cruise (I actually really liked Mexican night which looked like it would be a bad menu).  Coconut shrimp themselves were tasty but came with a barely edible slaw; garlic shrimp were decently sized and cooked but had an Alfredo-like sauce on them that was not mentioned on the menu (nor in the picture above) and didn’t meld well with the other flavors.
