Just wondering..when on the New England to Canada cruise to Montreal, how well can you view the New England Coast? Or are you out at sea to far to see?

 

There is plenty of time for both.

You will see land on both sides of the ship when you sail the St. Lawrence. The 'sea day' going north from Boston to Montreal gives lovely views when departing Quebec City heading to Montreal.

 

Casino is always open after departure from all the Canada/New England ports for that itinerary.

It is open every night.

A relative of mine regularly sailed the St Lawrence years ago and I remember as a child hearing him mention icebergs. Are they still seen there now we have all this "global warming"?

The St Lawrence can freeze over verylong and cold winters. And pieces of ice could eventually float by. But icebergs? Not the way most would define an iceberg.

Several years ago, we in the Northeast and the Maritimes had such severe winter with so much snow and then lots of spring rain that it raised the usual water level of the St. Lawrence. For the first several cruises of the season, Maasdam could only sail as far north as Quebec City and could not sail the St. Lawrence to Montreal as the high water raised the ship too high to fit safely under the bridges. Lucky folks on those cruises got to overnight in Quebec City. That is not too hard to take though we always enjoyed our days in Montreal, as well.

The St. Lawrence along with 95% of the 5 Great lakes were frozen solid this winter. If you are on one of the early cruises keep your toes out of the water!! :eek::p

 

You may see ice flows, but not the "bergs" unless you are out in the ocean between PEI and Nova Scotia, but that would be a scarce sight I would think.
