Interesting...we were on the May 16th sailing to Canada and we did change our watches on the first and last nights, so we were on port time.

In Halifax, another couple and us took a cab-- total cost $110 for a 4 hour tour....we did it all--Peggy's cove, the city, the graveyard where the Titanic cruisers were buried. Then we had lobster at a restaurant before the went back to the ship.

Did you have to arrange for the cab tour before you arrived or did you just find one at the pier? We're going this fall and would love more information. Thanks.

there were cabs at the port. They put alittle sign on the cab saying it's for hire.

magiccolor girl, that's my understanding, as well.

 

We're on the same cruise - have you checked in on the Roll Call board? There's a group of us meeting for lunch on Monday - wearing mardi gras beads for identification.

 

Check the thread on that board and join us for lunch.

We are leaving on June 13 and I was wondering if we need to sign up for the excursions or can we explore ourselves? We are 2 families traveling with college age and young adults and everyone wants to go all different places so it seems. Also it looks like the weather in canada might be cold and damp -I am guessing that will be the case on the cruising days too??? We have been on Voyager of the Seas(to the Caribbean) before and loved it but the ports were not my favorite part of the cruise.

Be aware of one thing .. RCI does not allow passengers to bring their own irons aboard. We didn't heed this and their security folks pried open and ruined the zipper on our locked suitcase. RCI documents say irons are prohibited items and thus they refuse responsibility for any damage they cause removing them. They left a little claim slip and when we got back to Bayonne retrieval of our little travel iron was quick.
