Thanks!  I am currently booked in a hotel named hotel le chateau De Pierre and it is in Upper town and very close to Parc des gouverneurs . I know I want to stay in Upper town but wonder that location is good?  

I love that hotel, have stayed there over 30 years. Great location. Welcoming staff. We love it

I would probably stay in Quebec city and have been to both several times. Spend a day exploring  upper and lower town, rent a car and drive over to Ile Dr Orleans which is delightful, great little villages, good food, very scenic. Visit Ste Anne Dr Beaupre and Montmorency Falls. Check city website to see if anything special is going on while you are there. Enough to keep you occupied for several days

  Train ride roundtrip is going to take part of 2 days, allowing little time to fully appreciate either city.

I never use PayPal but if he uses it to get a commission then you shouldn't have to pay the commission? And he should've known about the commission. I always use credit card. 

My son lives in Roatan part of the year. The orphanage is well run in part due to help from the large ex pat community there. It's clean, good school and kids very courteous. Ship visits are field trips to learn how the ship runs, jobs there etc. The cruise lines employ a lot of locals and despite some grumbling as expected re crowded beaches, traffic ( which is always a mess) most locals appreciate the help to the economy. No One needs to worry about germs etc. 

In allowing all this accountant type posts since in the end much relate s to Carnival scenario but steer it back a bit ok???

Scanlon Gallery is one of our favorite shops  in Ketchikan. 

Question about blocking and how to do on CC asked and answered

Yes, easier to keep track of this hot topic, which I could move to Cubs board but will leave here if remains non political and in guidelines

See thread on Cuba Question re Carnival Cruises on this board. 

Similar lto the sanctions thread re the pollution issue, and because this affects many who have planned cruises to Cuba on Carnival I am going to keep this thread open on this Board as long as it remains NON- political and remains within CC guidelines. Any new threads will either be locked or moved to Cuba board.. If this gets really out of hand, it will be moved in with the masses to the Cuba board or possibly even disappear much like it appears the cruises to Cuba may😕😕,

And I am editing title slightly for clarification. Thanks in advance for playing nice.

See earlier thread called "Cuba question." Going to keep just one on this topic going snd bcc it was first!

See Discussion re the pollution issue and possible sanctions linked on pinned post. Other threads on this topic will be closed

Thank you

The cruise line tour will be a bus, not many photo ops and lunch used to be at a pavilion. Take Ollies and find a great place in town for  lobster. We like West St Cafe

This topic is better suited to Royal Caribbean board

There is a thread on this topic and a link to it in the pinned post

See the pinned post please.  Keeping it to one thread here so easier for all to follow

Please don't  jinx this thread by making me sorry I said this.  But I am glad to see for the most part that you guys can discuss this with respect and lots of good discussion and related topics being expressed.

Seeking your opinion regarding these 2 hotels: Hotel Manoir Morgan and Chateau de Pierre.  We are 2 seniors plan to spend 2 nights in Quebec before our Princess Cruise on Oct. 4, 2019.  We are looking for a hotel close to Old Town and the cruise port (if within walking distance will be even better).  Which one do you think is better?  Do you have other hotels to recommend? Thank You! 

Been staying at the Pierre since the 1980s. Near funicular to old town, across park from Frontenac. Love this place. Convenient, charming....

Colors are up to mother nature😕 Have done this cruise 3 times next to last week of October. Different weather each time. One was warmest fall and leaves not so good, one  it was freezing cold but color was great and one was foggy so no views. Ports are wonderful, but weather.......

Of you will a scroll down here you will find a thread discussing lots of options in Baltimore o

This has gone completely off topic again so rather than spend an hour removing three pages while the bickering/\discussion about the environment, not cruising Carnival  and  Mr Heals continues and adds still more off topic posts  , I am closing for now. It was good for almost 24 hours but how much can you say about a pen?
