Nov 2, 2018 Waiting to embark Oceania Insigna in Montreal

Arriving at Montreal airport at 8 AM Embarking Oceania Insigna at noon. Does anyone know where we can wait for 4 hours

drop your bags at the port & take a walk around Old Montreal go for breakfast etc..

Ditto, that's what we’ll be doing.

good idea! Just hope after the red eye flight from LAX we'll be up to that

thanks

I suppose you could always hang out in the airport until close to boarding time or head to the port & hope the seats are comfy

Maybe they will let you on before noon

Arrive 8am, claim your bags and be out of Customs 8:30/45, have breakfast, there's one cafe outside of arrivals and several upstairs on the public side of departures. Get a cab about 9:30, you're after rush hour so you'd be at the pier about 10:15. Drop the bags and stroll the old town shops half a block across the park promenade for an hour and a half. Find a 1700's building to have coffee in. It'll make a leisurely start to your cruise.

Great pastry shop near the port: Maison Christian Faure for coffee and pastries.

Interesting Montreal Museum of Archaeology & History also in the same area.

Both will fill your morning and keep you awake!

Bill, I am going to the train (Amtrak) station when I get off the ship in Montreal. How far is it? I'm sure cabs will be available outside the pier. Thanks

you can walk it if you are fit but less than 10 mins in a taxi depending on traffic

Yes explore old Montreal, the port is right there. Here's a video that might help you decide.

Thanks for video. Last year we were on a tour of Montreal & will probably just find a place to relax while we wait to board ship
