Where to meet in Halifax

[cruise lover fan]

We will be in Halifax in November. We have friends that live there but they are not familiar with the port. Where is the best place to meet them that isn't too far away but something that they might know? Thanks.

The farmers market is a nice walk and should be well known to them.

They should be able to find Pier 21 easily or pick somewhere along the boardwalk. Even if you don't dock at Pier 21, as our ship isn't next week, we will be bused to Pier 21 as they don't let you walk out of the shipyard.

 

It really depends if they are picking you up to go somewhere or if you are meeting them to do something in the area. There is parking right at Pier 21 and there are also public lots along Lower Water Street. They are usually pretty full but we were able to find something when we were there.

 

I would just meet them at the end of Pier 21 that heads to the boardwalk. There is a big circle at the end which is part of the walkway that they should be able to find easily.

 

If you google and look at the satellite view you will see what I mean.:)

It is very easy to find Pier 21 and drive up to the door you where will be coming out. I am sure they have internet to view the port map or even better zoom in on Google earth which we do for every place we go.

 

We met cruisers recently but we parked at the far end of the boardwalk area ( near the casino0 and walked to the ship to meet them. Then we all walked the boardwalk together and when we got to the end our car was waiting so if they like to walk this works well.

Thank you for all of your help.

The circle at the end of the boardwalk is perfect place to meet. :)

 

It's all been rebuilt in the last few years and is two minutes from the cruise terminal exit.

I think you can see the circle clearly here under the name Samual Cunard. you can zoom in and out on this map.
