tuffygirl Posted September 18, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted September 18, 2018 good idea! Just hope after the red eye flight from LAX we'll be up to that thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted September 18, 2018 #5 Share Posted September 18, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two4Sea Posted September 19, 2018 #6 Share Posted September 19, 2018 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. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting Montreal Museum of Archaeology & History also in the same area. Both will fill your morning and keep you awake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure cabs will be available outside the pier. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks you can walk it if you are fit but less than 10 mins in a taxi depending on traffic https://www.amtrak.com/stations/mtr https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Grand+Quai,+200+de+la+Commune+St+W,+Montreal,+QC+H2Y+4B2/895+Rue+de+la+Gaucheti%C3%A8re+Ouest,+Montr%C3%A9al,+QC+H3B+4G1/@45.5000019,-73.5674074,15z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m14!4m13!1m5!1m1!1s0x4cc91af7929da63b:0x65b3239c25418ef6!2m2!1d-73.5507821!2d45.5026167!1m5!1m1!1s0x4cc91a5cb0bcd01f:0x8fdbd13be58df1ed!2m2!1d-73.5665231!2d45.5001134!3e0 Edited September 19, 2018 by LHT28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuffygirl Posted September 23, 2018 Author #11 Share Posted September 23, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
