mastprop Posted April 7, 2004 #1 Share Posted April 7, 2004 We are booked on the Jewel in September. Our previous cruising experiences have been warm weather blue water Caribbean trips. I am assuming we will not be hearing poolside Calypso music on a regular basis. Nor do we expect to see people 'reserving' deck chairs at 8:30 in the morning. What other differences should we expect?

eandjracquet Posted April 9, 2004 #2 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Hi, I was on one Canada cruise-out of NY-as amazing as this sounds-yes-they have Carribean music at the pool and despite horrible, foggy, rainy weather people still sat out in swimsuits-I don't understand it. The one major difference was the fog in the North Atlantic-I hope you didn't book a foward, balcony stateroom-the fog horn went off once a minute, every minute, twenty four hours a day. I could hear it in the interior spa room that was foward but couldn't hear in our interior, aft room-thank goodness! On an excursion one of my tablemates remarked she had not been able to sleep because of it. I did a kayacking/lobster lunch excursion in St. John's-very good-in Halifax just go on your own-if you want to go to Peggy's Cove there is a boat that goes there from Halifax harbor-better than the ship's bus. Just be careful about the time-some ships tell passengers to stay on ships time and some adjust to local time. EMH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastprop Posted April 9, 2004 Author #3 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Thanks, our cabin is as aft as you can go. We have a rear balcony so hopefully the foghorn won't be an issue. Somehow rain, fog, Carribean music, and bathing suits just don't seem to go together, but to each his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
