Cruise to New England and Canada

Cruise to New England and Canada - September 18 - October 2, 2016

It has been a few months since I completed this cruise, so my blog may not be as complete as previous postings.

September 18, 2016 - New York

The cruise left from Bayonne, NJ which is not the easiest cruise terminal to reach.  Of course my online search sent me the wrong direction.

Sailing out of New York harbor, Captain Kate (yes a female captain) took us close to the Statue of Liberty and lower Manhattan.

September 20, 2016 - Boston

I lived in Boston from 1970 - 1978.  My favorite thing to do in Boston is to walk the Freedom Trail, ending with pizza in the North End.

Faneuil Hall

September 21, 2016 - Portland, Maine

The highlight in Portland was the fact that the ship took on 2000 lobsters.  For dinner I had one as an appetizer, one for my main course and one for dessert.

September 22, 2016 - Bar Harbor, Maine

September 24, 2016 - Port Charlottetown, PEI

Prince Edward Island is know for the mussels, and I had my fill.  The lobsters were just too expensive everywhere.

I could probably eat a lobster this size.

September 26-27, 2016 - Quebec City

Quebec is one of the most charming cities in the world.  Luckily everyone spoke English.

The Frontenac Hotel is one of the most famous in the city.

September 30, 2016 - Halifax, Nova Scotia

I've been there before on another cruise so I just walked the city.
