FredZiffle Posted July 21, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Rent a car and drive to Green Gables. Nice recreation of Anne of Green Gables house as well as pretty scenery along the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maryann ns Posted August 1, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I just copied this information into a document to share. The information is from a few years ago but most still applies. I highly recommend renting a car and exploring. The document contains a map of a possible route. https://docs.google.com/document/d/17qSn5ImpF6Q0vxzFPqKmx5zSOu-EkViKcYUPgCsiEzE/edit?usp=sharing https://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2230424 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornishpastyman1 Posted August 6, 2018 #7 Share Posted August 6, 2018 We hired a taxi for 3 hours ($20 per hour in 2015) and went to Cavendish in the morning then walked around near the port for an hour or so in the afternoon.

BklynBoy8 Posted August 7, 2018 #8 Share Posted August 7, 2018 On Cunard Caronia....we took a very interesting walking tour. Also, we had lunch on land and enjoyed PEI Oysters fresh out of the water. WOW! If you can try the fresh seafood restaurants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txladyjan Posted August 16, 2018 #12 Share Posted August 16, 2018 What is a good place to eat lunch in Charlottetown? Any good bakeries in town? TIA Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best, Tony Did you pre-arrange for the taxi or just walk off the ship and find one? Thanks. We just walked out of the port terminal and there were 2-3 cars waiting. However I had a massive senior moment (and I'm not that old) in my first post - it cost $60 per hour in 2015 so $180 plus tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Aurora Posted August 20, 2018 #14 Share Posted August 20, 2018 What is a good place to eat lunch in Charlottetown? Any good bakeries in town? TIA Sent from my iPad using Forums Several years ago we enjoyed a lovely meal at The Gahan. When we returned to Charlottetown last fall we found it again and again had a very enjoyable meal.

BklynBoy8 Posted August 21, 2018 #15 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Many years ago we took a cruise on Cunard and we arranged the ship board excursion. I can't remember the name of the tour but it consisted of Period Dressed Tour Guides that lead a Historic Walking tour that also visited the different Buildings around. They were very good never leaving their character....very professional.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
