  You may have a point. We were told in Scotland by our guide (I think it was Stornoway?)  that winter was only slightly cooler, and their temps were more on par with Iceland. I am from Georgia, USA so it was cold to me. I needed my winter coat there in July! However, my winter coat to someone in Minnesota or northern states on the northern border or in Canada would be considered a jacket. I do have a heavy winter coat which I wear once every 2 years it seems. It has to get below 20 F for a high for me to wear it. Anyway, plus don't forget I had come from 90F temps at home the week before. Where I had found Edinburgh weather refreshing, this port was simply cold to me.  I guess it is all relative, whatever we are used to, what is cold to me may be warm to you.

I getcha. I grew up in Atlanta!

We did an Alaska vacation ,one week land and one week sea. It was our second best vacation of all time.

We did a New England Canada cruise 5 years later and it was great.

 

Prior to booking a cruise or land vacation I researched thoroughly.

We have vacationed in Canada 17 times .We love the country.

 I loved Canada too.  It is much better choice for a cruise than the Caribbean. Lol, especially in summer.

We cruised to Canada in the Fall .There is nothing negative about the country for us.

Nor to me either. I found through doing genealogy I have many distant cousins there.  I have a pair of second great grandparents who were French Canadian.  Both of their parents relocated to New York in the 1850's.
