Corner Brook suggestions?

[Maplemoose]

Anybody visit Corner Brook on a NE/Canada cruise?  Shopping for souvenirs and gifts does not look plentiful. Is there an area developed around the cruise terminal?  Or within short walking  or taxi distance?

You may not find much in Corner Brook itself. I've passed through a few times on the bus from St. John's to Port-aux-Basques, but there was never much to draw me into Corner Brook. Instead, I found Gros Morne most interesting. It is about 90 minutes north of Corner Brook by highway. In particular, consider the Tablelands, Trout River and the pond tour, and the Discovery Centre, all south of Bonne Bay; and Rocky Harbour and Western Brook Pond, all north of Bonne Bay (there's a ferry across the bay). Consider some tours that would visit some of these places.
