Acey-SJ Posted August 24, 2012 #2 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Does anyone know if there is a shuttle from the pier area to the Old Town Market area? We think there is one at a nominal fee but are not sure. The only shuttle I know of is the one from Long Wharf terminal (secondary cruise ship docking area when main terminals are occupied) to Loyalist Plaza. The Saint John City Market ( I think that is what you are referring to) is 4 blocks from the Marco Polo terminal and 5 blocks from the Diamond Jubilee terminal. If you are mobility impaired, there are cabs you can take - however is based on a zone system so you will pay probably $6 for a cab even though it will be a minute or two drive. If I misunderstood your question, please let me know so I can get the right answer to you Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

can2 Posted August 29, 2012 #5 Share Posted August 29, 2012 As a resident of the area, I would say your posts are accurate. You can walk outside .. about 10 min, 5 of it uphill or take the inside pedway system through the malls.(flat). Entering through Market Square..just 5 min walk from the ship..this will take you to the Saint John City Market..the Oldest Farmers Market in Canada ..Saint John is very easy to get around as it is not a large city center. While there try the Dulse..purple seaweed..you will either love it or hate it...its a maritime thing..some say an aquired taste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acey-SJ Posted August 30, 2012 #8 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Looks like it is closed on Sundays - is that correct??? I believe it's open when cruise ships are in - however not all vendors will be open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All local items..Honey, Fiddlehead jewellery..Dog gifts..Rock Vases...;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vickila Posted August 30, 2012 #11 Share Posted August 30, 2012 The Pedway referred to is w/c friendly -- however searching for the elevators (3) required is interesting! They are there and part of the fun! Three levels of shopping -- easier on the way back to take the street as it is downhill! Vicki:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
