And MSC accepted your Walgreens rapid test with no problem, right?

No problem. We are on board! Easy!

Our Walgreens schedule opens 5 days out. You can truthfully answer the questions and get a time. Schedule the rapid test. Our results were back in 45 minutes. Very very easy!

Funny what your eyes see but the brain fixates on "seeing" something else! I'll put it down to aging!!!

Princess Cays is in the Bahamas. It is not in Bermuda. You might need something for the Bahamas but if you do it won’t be a Bermuda Travel Authorization. 

You are so right! My bad!!! Thanks!

We have a one day stop at Princess Cays, Bermuda. Do we need the Bermuda Travel Authorization form for this? We will be on Enchanted Nov 10 sailing. Thanks

We had ours on my phone and also printed. Good to have a backup!

Jay, when you logged into the Walgreens site, do you see anything there that shows your DOB and all the other info they need?  If not, how would get them to add it?  We have our appointment at Walgreens tomorrow morning for the Rapid ID NOW test.  Just trying to figure out how to make sure all the info is there.  Our DOBs do not appear on the appointment confirmation email so it wouldn't do us any good to print that out for boarding.  Thanks!

4 of us got Walgreens Rapid Test this past Friday. Results back in under 2 hours. PDF which I printed out has all necessary info on it.

Had the rapid PCR test at Walgreens. Results within 1 to 2 hours

^Generally it's narrower upstream as most rivers are, so leaving Montreal means stuff to see both sides for the trip to Quebec City. Keith makes a good point that flights to Montreal are MUCH more frequent, especially international ones, but for most tourists QC is probably a bigger draw - it's gorgeous, especially the old upper town with the Chateau Frontenac, so depending how much time you have for precruise you may prefer to be based in QC (Montreal is more cosmopolitan, Anglophones everywhere, has better restaurants & nightlife, and Old Town is plenty pretty too).

 

Charlottetown vs Saguenay - PEI is far and away our tiniest province and is extremely civilized - it's got a Ye Olde English Countryside feel to much of the province as it's heavily farmed. Saguenay is a less populous area, up a much narrower river than the St Lawrence from QC downstream, and a bit of a hotbed for Beluga spotting. I would personally always go for Saguenay over Charlottetown in a heartbeat - but if you're an Anne of Green Gables fan it's hard to pass up PEI!

 

We've never cruised there, but I've also seen a lot of reports that due to the rarity of cruise vessels the locals in Saguenay also give ships a really hearty welcome...

Thanks so much for the info and opinion, especially about Saguenay! I appreciate it!

OK my geography isn't so good, but isn't Montreal part of Quebec? Are there 2 different ports in Quebec? Just looking for future reference as I'm booked on a NE/Canada cruise out of Boston.

Hi! I was referring to the cities- Montreal and Quebec City. Smaller ships can dock in Montreal. Was just wondering what river is like between Montreal and Quebec City.

I have been doing much research, including on cruise critic. Maybe too much;p!!! We want to take a Canada/New England cruise this next fall. We have been on several cruises and usually pick the cruise according to itinerary and price. Right now I'm stuck. Is it better to begin in Montreal or Quebec? Holland has a cruise out of Montreal which cruises the St Lawrence River between Montreal and Quebec. Princess and others start in Quebec. Is it a beautiful cruising experience between Montreal and Quebec? Also, this Princess cruise stops in Saquena but not in Charlottetown. Other cruises don't stop in Saquena but do stop in Charlottetown. Any preferences from those who have been to these places? Thanks!

Last time we had one on the hump and we thought it was great. you still have as much privacy but you get a slightly larger balcony.

Any problems with smell of smoking?

I want to thank everyone for their help so far. Decided on 6243 despite the smoke possibilities it was a decent deal and as I say, at 75 cents Canadian on the U.S. dollar wellllll. The Go Big was included and I added one more for Go Better. Now can we survive the Classic Drink Package like someone else on this board :cool:

I hope you will see this as your reply up there is 2 years old. I see you stayed in 6243 on Solstice. Was smoke a problem? We are to be in that room in Feb 2018. My husband really doesn't like smoking so I'm not sure. Thanks

Thanks to all! We do plan on going to Fremantle and plan on taking Captain Cook cruise there and train back. Plan to stay at Pan Pacific. Some great rates right now!;p

We stayed at Miss Maud's in Perth. It has a great location and the food at the restaurant is fantastic. It has a Swedish Smorgasbord. Rooms are not luxury, but clean and comfortable.

Thanks, that's one I have checked out. Seems popular

I'm looking for opinions. Will be Perth next Feb for 2 🌃. Looking at 3 hotels: Pan Pacific; Best Western Terrace; Alex Hotel. Have good rates from all. I have read lots of reviews on all 3, looking for anyone who has stayed at any of these. Thanks!
