Hello once again....

Going for a few days precruise.  Staying at the Hilton Quebec. Any suggestions for food within walking distance and I mean close walking.  Bad knee here.  Also, looking for other foods but French food since I will have 3 days of eating there and do not want French food for all meals.  Thank you in advance.  You all have been very helpful on all my other questions.  

Another question from me...but you all give great answers and thanks!!

If I am flying from the Florida and have to stop in EWR then off to Quebec City, when do I go to customs?  Before I get my luggage at QC airport or after I get my luggage?  How long does the entire Customs process take?  First time ever flying into a non US airport.

It won't be until May.

Thank you

Does anyone know when the new sale date will be?

Wow!!!  They finally have coke zero?  Yay!!! 

Thanks.. you surely did answer my question.

Just asking opinions....again.  Would you do two nights precruise before the cruise leaving out of Quebec City?  Or do you think that is a bit much with having an overnight before sailing anyway?  The airfare is $130 cheaper leaving for the two night precruise and I get the hotel for free using points.  But is there enough for me to do?

Just off the Caribbean, drydock will also include replacing all of the cabins carpeting. I attached photos of the old carpeting and the new. (one cabin had the new carpet due to a recent flood in the cabin)

 

 

I like it

I have been on Princess over 70 times and my husband 4 times.  He gets cheaper prices than I do.  That just annoys me to no end.

I actually have a reservation for Hilton and Marriott right now, but Marriott is $100 less with govt rate.  My flight does not get in til midnight so I will not get to spend too much time there because just doing one overnight before cruise. Thank you for the info.   How far is each hotel from each other?

Ok, I changed my flight to get in about 330pm instead of midnight the day before the cruise leaves.  So in your opinion, do you think Hilton is better to stay at than Marriott for things closer to do by the hotel? Checking out the sites, dinner, etc.  Thanks for all of your help in advance.  

What exactly are they doing with the drydock for almost a month.  Haven't read into it.

What channels do they have?  I am not worried about premiums but wonder what they have for news, network entertainment and weather.

Thanks!

Definitely Fox News...  BBC, I think MSNBC and cannot remember the others.  

I ordered two 12 pks last night.  $7.08 per pk.  Not a bad increase at all.  Just call Princess and they will do it for you.

They're actually not that far from each other - maybe a 5-minute walk. The difference is that the Hilton is one side of the major boulevard connecting lower with upper town, a boulevard that you have to cross if you want to go see anything, whereas the Marriott is the other side - much easier if you want to do some walking/exploring that morning. If the prices were similar I'd call it a coin toss, but I personally wouldn't spend $100 extra for the Hilton over the Marriott, especially for just one night.

Thank you so much for the quick responses.  Much appreciated!!

What if you are doing a B2B and have to change cabins? Same medallion or another one?

Has anybody stayed in  Quebec City Mariott Downtown 850 Place D'Youville? Opinions?  Compared to Hilton Quebec..  

Is Ocean.com down??

I have a late flight and I want to get a hotel by the Quebec City airport.  Any suggestions?  Does anyone know of a brand hotel with airport shuttle?

I know I have been asking about hotels by Quebec City for my cruise out of Que, but how long is the ride by bus if I flew into Montreal and did a pre cruise out of Montreal?  Good idea, bad idea, has anyone done this?

thank you!!!!  You answered my question!!

My flight is quite late,  so just going to sleep, not tour. It would be great to be close to the airport.  I have an overnight in Quebec City, so that will be my touring time.  Is the area safe by the Hampton?

Another Hilton Brand hotel question....how far is Hampton Inn and Suites Quebec City/Saint-Romuald.....1176, rue de Courchevel, Levis QC from the airport or cruise port?  How is the area?   Anything to do around there?

You are fine with the Hilton. It’s in the Upper Town just outside the walls and well situated beside the National Assembly building. Certainly you should use your points to stay there. 

Thank you!!

Thank you so much for the advice on the other hotels.  But getting back to the Hilton brand property.  I have so many points so I can stay for free. Is the hotel  close to anything or I am just basically in a hotel that is by nothing?  Then I will have to reconsider.
