We booked the Top 10 of St John in New Brunswick. Our tour guide, Jane, made it fun but it was a lot of time on a bus and they were stretching to get to 10 things. Our guide was great because she took us directly to the Bay of Fundy "Falls" right away. I say "falls" because they're not falls at all, but rapids. Impressive yes, because the tide dropped something like 45 feet, so maybe that's where they come up with falls. Our group was lucky because at the end of the tour, we went back to the Bay and saw the rapids in reverse. Now everyone was a bit more impressed. St. Martins has a beautiful beach and sand caves but because of the tide we couldn't go out to them. It also helped that it was a beautiful day. But as for top 10, not so much. It was like "there's the Moosehead Bear Brewery, take a picture from the bus. This is a house called the witches house because of the shape of the windows and Witch Hazel trees (?) grow on the property, quick take a picture from the bus. A quick drive thru a park with statue carvings, which would have been great to really see, but quick, take a picture from the bus. 



Saint John (New Brunswick)

In Halifax we did Titanic and Peggy's Cove. Cold day...jeans, sweatshirts and drizzling rain. The cemetery was interesting and a bit sad but our tour guide was soft spoken and we couldn't hear him. Not to mention, 3 groups came and went and he was still talking. Off to Peggy's Cove. Basically an hour bus ride to go to a gift shop. If you live in New England, near the water like we do, skip this part. 2 hours on a bus to spend 30 minutes in a gift shop and to see the shoreline, in the rain. Can do that here at home. Might have been better if our guide was good,but, a retired man wearing a kilt didn't make it any better. If I knew then what I know now, I'd take a cab from the ship to the cemetery, all the drivers know the story and there are big story displays at the cemetery explaining the whole story. Skip Peggy's Cove unless you want to see a rocky shoreline and fake lighthouse. You can walk to the Citadel from the ship and the Maritime museum, which would have been great because of the weather and they have actual Titanic artifacts. And again, maybe with a better tour guide and better weather, it would have been more enjoyable. Our 12 year olds fell asleep on the bus. 



Halifax

Would have been better if the couch and bunk weren't always made into beds but instead having a couch to use would have been nice and having the bunk up would have given more head room and less head bruises! We were right above a club but it didn't bother us but at times it was loud. Little space to put 4 suitcases due to couch cushions being under the bed. Balcony was lovely in port, and while the sun was out despite the constant wind. Got great moon pictures from it!

They also had the table next to us at dinner, late seating so after the first night, the little one ate at Camp Carnival.Their 13 year old joined us for dinner so she didn't have to eat alone, her little sister being at camp.
