A few comments I wish it would be harder for people to remove tips If you have never complained about any service, how can you justify zero tip If people would need some kind of signature from each dept. There would be less removals Also, we are taking a family cruise at the end of the month HAL exchange rate for cad was very good, so we decided to prepay We have a 2 yr old and a 6 month old with us The 2 year old was a no brainer that we would pay tips When I asked my daughter what she would do for the baby, the answer was clear, I am not going to save $150 ( cad) on the back of crew members. I was proud of her answer

You have beautiful pics of Montreal ( forgot the native orange cone ;)). Where is the fairyland . Have never seen that before -
I have done this. Go to front desk and they will gladly transfer any non refundable obc to crew. I make it a point to make time for this even if it is a few dollars.

We also board may 27 th. Looking forward to your inputs -
You would think they should be able to board with their own children But will not take any chances and we will board together I will ask the question at the pier and see what the official answer is

Hi Have a silly question We are taking a family cruise on The Zaandam on My 27th Cabin 1 ( 3 pax) Myself DH 2 yr old grandson . Cabin 2 ( 3 Pax) Daughter - SIL and 2nd Grandchild . Will my daughter have problems checking in her son as he is in a separate cabin if we have not arrived yet. . We are taking the overnight grey hound . The original plan was to have my daughter go ahead to the ship with all the luggage. . DH and I would like to be able to enjoy Boston and make our way to the ship later. But if that will cause her issues, I will stay with her ( always overthinking things) . Thanks for any info you can provide

All depends on weather If you get rain, there are 2 amazing museums in the old port ( la calliere and the science center) Also, the 2nd floor of the terminal building is actually free If beautiful, the botanical gardens is nice, you can get there on the Subway

I would say that yes, you can visit Montreal. The process you described is to make it easier for b2b guests who just want to get back on the ship. These are 2 cruises,. The Canadian govt will clear guests as per their process at the end of cruise one. You are not even " in transit,` as you will actually be spending Aprox 10 days in the country Please, get off the ship and enjoy our beautiful Montreal,.

Transportation Options from Montreal port to YUL.
CGinMTL replied to Cruisin Kay D's topic in Canada/New England
I think the closest location to buy ticket to get on the 747 bus is the closest subway stop. Which is a 10 min walk $11 for the entire day in the transit system 747 is a good option if you plan on visiting and then finish with transfer to yul If not. I would just take a cab is fixed rate $50 -
