I am a Canadian, sailed on the Maasdam from Montreal on the back to back Canada / New England. Sail dates Aug 10 to Aug 24. This review expands on the pointers I posted in the HAL forum

This is not a large ship and they had about 20 agents working in Montreal so embarkation went fairly smoothly.

Montreal - Lots of hotels to stay in around old Montreal. We flew in a few days early and stayed at Springhill Suites as I am a Marriott rewards member. The hotel is literally walking distance to the terminal and I notice a lot of guests checked out Saturday morning and were headed to the Maasdam. But as instructed by the hotel, do not try and walk it, as some of its along cobblestone streets. However the cabs will rip you off, its a $20 cab ride to the port. The hotel was also close to the terminal and we could disembark the ship and bring our luggage back to the hotel and have them store it prior to our flight out of Montreal late in the afternoon (we arranged this with hotel prior to our departure two weeks prior). This allows you to browse old Montreal or head downtown and do things without lugging your luggage. Also notice other disembarked passengers did the same thing. Those coloured luggage tags from disembarkation give it away.
