According to the Montreal Port's schedule, the Quest is the only one in port tomorrow. Weatherwise, the forecast is for sun with cloudy periods in the afternoon. Yes, Old Montreal has many interesting places to visit and good restaurants for lunch.

I hope we do wait out the storm. As for wiggle room, one possibility is to do Trois Rivieres and Quebec City on the way out instead of on the way back to Montreal. That would delay the arrival at Hauve St. Pierre to Monday. But then, on the return portion, there will be a long trip from Cap-Aux-Meules back to Montreal. I don't know if we can make it in 2 days. I am glad I don't have the headache of rescheduling the itinary.

It looks like St Pierre and Miquelon may be worse off than St. John's. By Thursday 22 Sept, the track of Fiona should be more certain. I trust the Quest captaina and Seabourn would know what to do.

The weather network discussed the possible track of Fiona. It can range from turning north with a direct hit around Hauve St. Pierre, to curving east and bypass Atlantic Canada completely. https://www.theweathernetwork.com/ca/news/article/storm-that-died-in-the-bering-sea-could-draw-hurricane-fiona-towards-canada

The latest Stormsurf model shows the remains of Fione north of Newfoundland by the evening of 25 Sept. The long range weather forecast for L'anse aux Meadows for 26 Sept is sunny with wind at 28 km per hour from the west. May be Quest itinary doesn't have to be changed after all.

May be that is why on the Seabourn Source App, I am seeing that the iternary for September 25 have been changed from just a "Sea Day" to a "Scenic cruising of the Saguenay Fjord". This change is odd because we will be in Hauve St. Pierre on September 24, and going to the Saguenay Fjord will be a backtrack towards the direction of Quebec City. However, the iternary for the remainder of the cruise is not changed. Maybe more to come later?

In the case of requiring a test before boarding Seabourn in Vancouver, one cannot blame Seabourn. They are just following the Canadian government's requirements.
