Doing the Canada/New England Sept/14. We have 2 days in Halifax. One day we are doing the Peggy's Cove with hopefully time to spare to do Pier 21. Our second day we are trying to decide between Lunenberg or staying in Halifax to walk or rent a bikes and self tour the harbour etc. Does anyone have any info on Lunenberg and which option would be best?

Thanks so much for the wonderful information. It really sounds like most enjoy the full versus the partial and/or finding a cruise that includes a day at Panama after the crossing. Length of cruise is not an issue for us as we are retired. The issue will be more related to flight deals getting out of Canada. Way cheaper for us to fly to Western USA than Eastern USA unless we decide to do so in the shoulder season.

Glad to hear good comments about NCL. We are trying them this fall when we do the Canada/New England. They had the best itinerary for what we wanted to see as well the better pricing. I realize that they are not on the same level as HAL or some other higher ends because of the free style cruising but at the same time they do offer higher end dining if one chooses to want that. We are both healthy eating freaks so as long as there is lots of fruit, salad, chicken and fish we will be happy.

Thanks for the info. I am sure both crossings have good points about each. We might only get to do this once so I want to pick the option that sounds the best. You mention you have cruised Eastern Canada....we are book for September. Do you have any suggestions? I am in the midst of booking excursions. We are still new at the cruise thing...did Alaska (loved it) and Greece (loved it) so I am sure we will love East Coast and Panama! Tks

We are from Canada so we will be flying a lengthy distance regardless however flights from home to California/Texas etc are lots cheaper than to Florida...in some cases half the price. I did find a cruise that leaves LA and ends up in Houstan...only thing is 3 sea days in a row before you hit Houstan. But perhaps if the weather is warm we will enjoy time out on the deck relaxing??

Thanks I will check it out. I am guessing you did the full? Who did you cruise with any recommendations? I have heard it takes the better part of a day to actually get through all the locks...is this what you experienced? Thanks again.

Just in the planning stage of a cruise to the Panama Canal. Can't decide which option is best? Both appear to have good benefits. Has anyone done both or can provide any insight as to which a person should select? I would appreciate any info. Thanks

We are looking into a private tour on Prince Edward Island in November. Duncan seems to be the first choice, but he is not sure about availability. Bill Murray with Take the Island Adventure Tours is available. What I have found looks good. Has anyone done a tour with him?

I have booked him for Sept 30. I went with the good reviews of trip advisor so hopefully all works out well. Did you find out anything more since you posted this? Tks
