Got it.  Have you considered just flying in to Montreal for the cruise (or out of Montreal home).  I love Montreal, been several times and each time the traffic is worse.  We use subways.  I hope if you do the tour that you see some places that bring back some good memories 

Just jumping in here ......if you have never been to Quebec City it is an absolutely charming city with enough to keep you  busy for several days.  Montreal is a big city with lots of traffic and with your travel time  would think most of Montreal would just be driving by places like the City Hall etc.  

I moderate the Carnival boards regularly, maybe don't post as much as some moderators but I'm there!

We ended up with 7 of us, so the cost was $70pp INCLUDING fees for the places we chose (Daniel's and boat tour of Oak Ridge) including lunch. Not sure what others have paid in the past. I can only judge on if I feel I got my money's worth and in this case, I certainly do!

So you saw a less traveled side of the island! Oak Ridge is closest town to my son's boat access only home in Port Royal. Next time go down that way with someone who will take you through Mangroves. Eastender does great tour but don't think they pick up at big cruise docks. New cruise port is on the east end but just for small 150-300 passenger ships. Silversea and Windstar among first when it  opens in Oct

I was a TA and I have been a group leader. I would NEVER lead or plan a group without a good TA.  It takes you out of collecting and being responsible for money, trying to answer all the questions, etc. I would say the exact same thing if you had been on 20 cruises. Agents earn their money doing what the average person planning a group will tear their hair out over.  Get an agent ......please.......it's not easy to do this right

Please keep on topic.....see original poster question. This isn't an accounting class, a seminar in shipping costs etc. Thanks!

I'm so glad to see this. I can't imagine how thankful these folks will be to get a meal, a shower and lay down in a bed. We take so much for granted

Nassau and one or two of the private islands are south enough not to have been affected much; otherwise a sea day will be added most likely

There’s no need to go all the way to the Ile d’Orléans to run (and I don’t think there are any good routes there). Just outside the walls of the Upper Town above the port lies the Plains of Abraham, a vast park and site of the decisive battle in 1759 where you can find lots of routes. I’m not sure about organized runs there but certainly one can see lots of runners in this park.  There are also bike/pedestrian paths along the St. Lawrence and St. Charles Rivers where one can run.

 

A quick check on the internet will give all the details. 

DUH.... you are so right!  I completely forgot about the plains of Abraham I was so focused on streets... and us hosts have been working a lot on hurricane boards as you might imagine. Actually out on the island there is a "cross road" where a friend of mine cycles and I was thinking about that but why go there when you can run through history??

Deteriorating.....time to lock. Off topic, rude ......even cleaning up won't stop it imho

It's rainy season and Liberty doesn't dock at Mahogany Bay where there is a beach. Your best bet would be private driver with age range. It can be very humid and hot even on cloudy day and I would not tie myself down with tour. Probably other port with closer brach??

Ronys, Daniel Johnson and Victor Borden all get good reviews on here for a long time. I really don't think either would disappoint

I just checked this website out since I'm pretty familiar with Quebec and unless I just didn't click on the right little "icon", it doesn't look like there is one right in Quebec City... one in Montreal, one near Trois Riviere.  I would use the "contact us" button on the web site to confirm.  The streets in the old town IMHO would be difficult for a runner not familiar with them and right outside the walls is a bustling city!  If you want to map out a path for yourself perhaps the folks at parkrun.com could help?  If I was going to go for a run (which will never happen....) I'd go out to Ile d Orleans with my rental car, find a place to park and run there... scenic, pretty flat......

Thanks for posting this!  I haven't cruised during hurricane season for a while but have been rerouted probably 8-9 times, delayed etc.  Some folks not used to to hurricane season cruisinsg don't think of everything and the tip on leaving parked car with a full tank of gas if possible is especially important.

Drive safe, park safe, Carnival board folks!!!!!

Victors Monkey Business has been there for at.least 10 years. The guys in our group did zipliniing at his farm while we enjoyed the birds, monkryd. Very well kept. My son has a house on the island and is going to check it out on a non ship day

Monday sailing is cancelled, ship will return to PC on September 5. Port is closing Sunday. 

I have merged these two threads, any future ones will be locked since not truly Carnival topic but I'll leave this on here for you

Yeah, dunno. Some of us have family very much potentially in harm's way and are very nervous. Sometimes talking about it, even just virtually, helps. I don't see any issues on this thread honestly.

I don't either and hope none arise. That is why it was left here😁

We had a "Welcome to day 10 of your 7 night cruise" with hurricane Jean. And went into Miami at 3:00 am and bussed back to Port Canaveral. Weird to see 10+ ships sailing around North of Cuba for 3 nights and then one by one they were gone to return to port. 

This thread has been reported; however as long as it remains respectful and on topic I am leaving it alone here on Carnival. 

This being said will lock other threads of this sort. You can also comment on the Hurricane Zone board.

Be safe everyone

Duplicate thread.  See above linked thread for links to other threads on the Carnival board about CPAPs

Without the complaining about the food and the cheers questions there would be no more cc lol.  I have never seen a cpap question on here so am also curious why this one is scheduled to get locked down asap...

Here are just two of the prior threads discussing many aspects of cruising with a CPAP on Carnival. Hope they answer your questions...

OP's question has  been answered. This isn't a thread about lying on health questionnaire

Lots of CPAP threads so once OP 's specific question is answered will close this

Hoping to find someone as wel

If you are just interested in snorkeling Radical Adventures is a good group to go with.  My son lives on Roatan, lots of folks who come for a land vacation use them
