The cemetary where the poor souls that died in the sinking of the titanic http://www.halifax.ca/history/tfairview.html There is even one there with the name of Jack Dawson. You can check out the house and museum of Anne of Green Gables. http://www.pc.gc.ca/lhn-nhs/pe/greengables/index_e.asp these are on my Bucket List.

big_duck Posted February 8, 2009 #3 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Funnest thing in St John. http://www.jetboatrides.com/ Halifax: Peggy's Cove, Pub Crawl, City Duck tour, Maritime museum. There really is a lot more to do in Halifax then St John. Unfortunately Green Gables is on Prince Edward Island, no where near where you are going.

PetulantMe Posted February 8, 2009 #4 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Will you be in Saint John New Brunswick, or St. John's Newfoundland? -Pet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaT12 Posted February 8, 2009 Author #5 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Saint John New Brunswick - I believe. thanks for the responses. My husband and I did take a similar cruise about 7 years ago...the girls were small so we just walked around and shopped. We also took that double decker bus....I was just looking for something different. What about the beaches....I don't know if you could swim there (too rocky?) but is there anything elso to do at the beaches?? Thanks again.

Mysellf and DW are looking atthis excursion and wonder if we should go with carnival or the website. Also wondering if they allow cameras in the jet boat.

Check out the Canada Games Aquatic Centre in Saint John - kids will have a lot of fun there - a couple blocks from ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putterdude Posted February 9, 2009 #11 Share Posted February 9, 2009 In Halifax you should spend some time at the Citadel and down around the Historic Waterfront Properties. http://www.pc.gc.ca/lhn-nhs/ns/halifax/index_E.asp http://www.historicproperties.ca/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
