Alterations to itinerary

[Junction2]

We received an email yesterday from P and O as follows - 

 

Due to berthing conflicts in several ports, it has been necessary to reschedule Arcadia’s calls to Newport RI, New York and Portland.  In addition, we are no longer able to call at Bar Harbor as originally planned.  To ensure that you are able to enjoy your time ashore, we are pleased to advise that we have extended our call in St John, where you will now have an overnight in port.

The overnighter is St.John in New Brunswick not NF and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for what to do on both days. I’ve not been overly impressed with the arranged excursions so far on any of the stops and we were planning on just exploring by ourselves within St. John itself. 

 

We are also now docking in New York a day earlier than planned so will be there Wednesday morning to Friday evening. I’m a member of an online book club whose members are mainly based in North America and at least 4 of my fellow moderators of the club are planning to be in New York to coincide with my time there. I’m really hoping now that no further alterations are made as 2 of my online friends are flying long distances to be there. I’ve known these ladies nearly 12 years and although we Zoom often now, it will be the first time some of us will meet up physically.

We are visiting St John later in the year. See Toms port guide, may give you inspiration
