St. Andrews

[ms8654]

Has anyone done the RCCL ship tour to St. Andrews while in Saint John, NB? I'm wondering how much free time there is once you get there. I've been to Saint John several times so I was hoping to do something new.

 

Thanks.

I have not done the excursion. It is just over an hour's drive each way. St. Andrews is tiny so I would think you would have time to wander around (and drop money in the shops!) Does the excursion include lunch? That would tie up some time.

No lunch. It's a 4 1/2 hour tour in total, so no food. The description only says limited shopping time available.

St Andrews has a fabulous German restaurant (in the Europa Inn), but otherwise is a launchpad for whale-watching tours and nothing else IMO. If you're a sucker for small British seaside towns, which is what it was designed as (the first such in Canada), you'll get more mileage - but forget shopping there.

Thank you that's helpful.

St. Andrews is a beautiful town, with some nice boutique shopping. Don't dismiss it so easily.

Not a lot of shopping in St. Andrews, you should have plenty of time.

 

It is a beautiful spot though.
