Grandeur of the Seas questions

[travelnut1967]

We just booked 9 nights on Grandeur for Canada and New England next June. We are a family of 4. Two adults and two teens. Where would be the best place to find info on the Saint John and Halifax ports and what to do there. Is there a movie theater on the ship? Anybody have any experiences on this ship? How was the food and service? How would I get any navigators for this ship and ports? Thanks for any advice. Steve

No movie theater onboard, they do show movies on the pool deck at night.

Here are two websites that may be helpful:

 

Halifax: http://www.novascotia.com/about-nova-scotia/visitor-centres

 

Saint John: http://www.discoversaintjohn.com

 

We have been to both cities several times and really enjoyed them. If you are interested in maritime history, Halifax has an outstanding museum: The Museum of the North Atlantic. It is located right on the waterfront boardwalk. There is a section on the Titanic that is very interesting. The museum itself has something for everybody, and I think your teens would enjoy the exhibits.

 

Hope this helps.

A guidebook from your library might be helpful to learn about your ports!
