Topdog52 Posted September 26, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 26, 2022 I was wondering if they will shut down any ports after this terrible storm. I am trying to research this, but have found nothing yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smlri Posted September 26, 2022 #4 Share Posted September 26, 2022 I would like to know also. Cruising on another line. Due to see Halifax, PEI-major damage, Sydney. Think Quebec City OK but you have to be able to get there…… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare shof515 Posted September 26, 2022 #5 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Charlottetown is closed, the Joy was supposed to dock there today and had to cancel the port stop. It is now going to Newfoundland Yesterday the Getaway docked at St John and Halifax had two cruise ships docked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mking8288 Posted September 26, 2022 #10 Share Posted September 26, 2022 (edited) Go direct to CBC.CA (Canada news network station) for updated news & info, as info become available - here's a fairly new report - https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/fiona-power-thousandswithoutpower-1.6595687 Power outage - http://outagemap.nspower.ca/external/default.html Rescue, cleanup and recovery already underway will take time, along with restoration of essential public services and businesses re-opening up, etc. IMHO, best not suitable for cruise ship passengers to come visit and see, or tour operators ashore to assume it's business as usual in the coming days. Perhaps sometime next month for some of the hard hit areas ... Halifax was mostly spared and cruise ships can ... are docking there again, berths are limited (we're there last Wednesday just ahead of Fiona.) Wishing our "neighbors" next door in NS speedy recovery. Edited September 26, 2022 by mking8288 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowrose Posted September 26, 2022 #11 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Heard from family in Sydney. The power was out, lots of trees and power lines down. The family homes were okay, even the ones on the bluffs, but there are places missing roofs, houses moved off their foundations. It'll take a while to get running again as electricity poles have been broken off at the bases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitiara Posted September 26, 2022 #12 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Quebec City and Saguenay were unaffected by Fiona (I live in Quebec City). My sister is currently on the Holland America Statendam and the Captain announced yesterday that they would have to skip Charlottetown and Sydney. They added Saguenay to the itinerary instead, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaShark Posted September 26, 2022 #17 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Have you tried the Cruise Critic boards that are dedicated to those particular ports? Seems like that would be the go-to place for port information. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/9-canadanew-england/ OR https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/2510-canadian-cruisers/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpacemanSpiff Posted September 26, 2022 #20 Share Posted September 26, 2022 I have a stepson and his wife on PEI. They report that they are ok, trying to help out others who are not. Not sure where on the island they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked a question and received an informative answer. What was amazing about Sandy was how far West, at least in PA the high winds hit. I'm in Montgomery County, NW of Philadelphia we had sustained winds of 50mph and guest to 75mph for hours. Power was out for 6 days 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some photos of the hardest hit areas: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/in-photos-atlantic-canada-recovering-from-storm-fiona-s-path-of-destruction-1.6595136 Each of the provinces had their emergency response center activated before the storm hit and the federal government and other provinces will help if asked. There are around 300 Canadian Forces solders with military helicopters and heavy equipment dispatch already to assist local emergency services. The local power utilities have crews from other utilities coming in to assist with restoring power. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
