Canadian Ports - Sail In Question

[fiftyguy]

Hi

We’re on the Gem this weekend for NE/Canada. Our cabin is on the starboard side. We’d like to be on the best side for views during sail in. What’s the best side, port or starboard, for Bar Harbor, Halifax, Sydney, PEI, La Baie and Quebec City?

Thank you for any tips.

Halifax NS and Charlottetown PEI port side would be better for the entry into port. Not sure about the final berthing position it will depend on whether you just slip in or do a 180 then dock.

Quebec starboard side

Sydney not much difference

Bar Harbor been far too long since I was there to remember

Bar Harbor is a tender port so in the AM they pull in so port side is toward the harbor. 

LaBiae on the way in there is a huge statue of Jesus on the port side and the port side of the pier will give you front row seats to the welcome show.

You can always go topside and get a view from both sides.
