VicKen Posted November 15, 2007 #1 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Royal Princess will be sailing to and from Montreal next year- any idea where she might dock? I know there are quays in Old Montreal but do cruise ships dock there or elsewhere? The Royal Princess is small - 700 pax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephraim Posted November 16, 2007 #2 Share Posted November 16, 2007 All cruise ships use the King Edward pier as far as I know. There is also the Alexandra Pier, but it is simply the pier next to the King Edward. Both are in Old Montreal. I've included a link to the pier. No large cruise ships come to Montreal, their stacks are usually to high to get under the bridge at Trois Rivieres (Three Rivers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicKen Posted November 21, 2007 Author #3 Share Posted November 21, 2007 What a wonderful location - it will be perfect to enjoy Old Montreal since our ship does not leave until 10 PM!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephraim Posted November 22, 2007 #4 Share Posted November 22, 2007 What a wonderful location - it will be perfect to enjoy Old Montreal since our ship does not leave until 10 PM!! Yes. It's a great location. A bit of a walk to get to the metro, though Champs de Mars isn't too far. Of course, Montreal's real night life doesn't start till at least 10:30PM.

VicKen Posted November 26, 2007 Author #5 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Oh that's OK -we have 3 days and 2 nights in Montreal so if we want to enjoy the nightlife we can plan for another night. With so little time in the city I suspect we'll be so busy during the day that by 10:30 we may be ready to sleep. We are thinking of Springhill Suites in Old Montreal (we have Marriott points) - do you think that will be a good location? We like to walk but may want to use the metro to get farther afield.

monicajay Posted November 26, 2007 #6 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Springhill Suites in Old Montreal (we have Marriott points) - Great location to enjoy old Montreal. Got to love those marriott points! I use the credit card to collect points. Just make sure you take a cab up to Crescent street too, then take a walk heading east along St. Cathrine Street. This will give you a good look at the "New" part of the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This pier is south of the city centre. http://www.ctma.ca/traversier-madeleine/croisiere_accesAuPort_ang.cfm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted December 13, 2007 #8 Share Posted December 13, 2007 We were just in Montreal on a NYC to Montreal Cruise a few months ago. From the pier it is a short walk to the old city of Montreal. It is a lovely city with lots to see and do. There is the one terminal for the passenger cruise ships.

Bickerdike is an older pier and can't handle the cruise ships. It's enclosed on either side and the ships won't fit in. The passenger terminal is usually at Alexandra Quay.

Rare Keith1010 Posted December 22, 2007 #10 Share Posted December 22, 2007 We disembarked our cruise ship in Montreal this past September. There is one major area for the cruise ships. I am looking at our disembarkation information and it was called the Iberville Marine Terminal. Some folks refered to it as the Old Montreal Cruise Ship Terminal as that is where the various cruise ships docked. It is right adjacent to Old Montreal.
