home-mom Posted September 27, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 27, 2017 For our day in Saint John we walked off the ship into a huge tent full of vendors. We shopped around and then left to walk down the end of the street to Market Square where we shopped some more and enjoyed some Tim Hortons coffee and donuts. We walked over to Barbour's General Store and then across the street to the Beaver Tails food trailer. (We sure miss eating these when we go to Canada in EPCOT). We walked around King's Square and headed back to the ship. It was an easy day for us and a very easy town to walk around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some side streets were hilly though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynnKY Posted October 29, 2017 #4 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Was there much historical or noteworthy buildings or monuments that you remember? Or anything memorable, interesting to you? We are thinking of just walking around as well on that day since this is a port we have visited before. We did an excursion the last time and I'm sure we could do another but would love to have a relaxing day but still get to experience the town.

We did an excursion the last time and I'm sure we could do another but would love to have a relaxing day but still get to experience the town. We did a kayak excursion, but on the way the guide pointed out an old bank and another old building in the town with gargoyle faces that had an interesting story. I don't know if they have signs along the street describing the buildings, but there was some nice older architecture. I think Saint John also had the interesting people sculptures, and a historic farmers market. There is a nice Irish pub near the port too that was part of our pub crawl excursion in 2012 through Carnival/Moosehead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debinnova Posted February 14, 2018 #8 Share Posted February 14, 2018 We did a lovely slow horse drawn wagon tour here. Got some history and close up views of buildings, etc. Just purchased tickets as we walked into town from the ship.

zlacruising Posted February 14, 2018 #9 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Has anyone been on a whale watching tour out of St. John? They have some in St.Andrew but that is about an hour away.TIA Sent from my SM-N950U using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgratru Posted February 17, 2018 #10 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I am from Saint John. Not any whale watching tours this far up the Bay...St. Andrew's is closer to the opening of the Bay of Fundy and an area where you are much more likely to spot whales....worth the drive.
