C 2 C Posted September 15, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 15, 2023 I just heard from a friend that Summit will be overnighting in Quebec City for an extra day to avoid Lee. A certain map program shows Zuiderdam and Summit docked a mile or so apart. We will be boarding Zuiderdam tomorrow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaribbeanBound Posted September 15, 2023 #2 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Interesting. Thank you. The extra night in Quebec makes sense, and since there is a lot to do in Quebec, it's not a bad extra day. Curious though what port will now be skipped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it had been Sydney, NS instead you would have dodged a bullet - in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoastsue Posted September 16, 2023 #6 Share Posted September 16, 2023 We get on as you get off on the 21st. It will be interesting to see if out itinerary is affected at all. I was watching the Weather Channel this morning and they were showing film of 50 foot waves at Peggy’s Cove. On another topic - how is the food in the MDR?

It's apparently Prince Edward Island....have a grandson onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix_dream Posted September 16, 2023 #8 Share Posted September 16, 2023 On our September cruise last year it was also at hurricane time. They re-ordered our ports. We had to skip two ports due to hurricane damage, and we added overnights in Quebec City and Portland. Surprisingly (to me) the seas were some of the calmest I've ever experienced in 20+ years of cruising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cft8 Posted September 17, 2023 #10 Share Posted September 17, 2023 We also get on on the 21st. Does anyone know if they are skipping PEI because of damage or just because it’s the next port? I think the itineraries are the same but we only have PEI and Portland, ME after Quebec City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdpups Posted September 17, 2023 #11 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Because it’s the next port, today is 3rd day in Quebec with beautiful weather. We leave this afternoon then have 2 sea days followed by last day in Portland. It’s been a very nice cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a cruise to Bermuda when there was a hurricane in the Bahamas the seas were the calmest I’ve ever seen, it’s like the storm sucks all the energy in the ocean and everything else is incredibly calm.
