I wanted those sneakers!! But, they didn't have them in my size on the ship or in MK!
Hi Tammy,
I'll get to "Day 4 - Saint John" sometime, but until then I can tell you that we LOVED the jet boats! DH did not ride. He doesn't do "thrill". He was the designated photographer and bag-watcher. You get wet, though. It might be a bit cold in September. Well, maybe not much more cold that it was in June! It was "refreshing"! In a sort of cold water in your face sort of way! The driver spun the boat a bunch and found some "dips" that would then cause a big wave and splash. If you like mild thrills and water, don't miss it!
I KNEW I needed them as soon as I saw them, and thanks to the DISboard I knew to buy them as SOON as I saw them!I wanted those sneakers!! But, they didn't have them in my size on the ship or in MK!
He is cute!Thanks, love the Halifax Mickey.

We took a cab - 12 dollars for the 6 of us (probably a few dollars less for a smaller group). We were going to take a local bus but the cab came first. Actually, we were going to walk (Harbour Trail, around 30 -40 minutes) but the teenagers rolled their collective 8 eyes at that one.Thank you - how did you get to the boat ride from the pier? Did you do the morning or afternoon ride? The logistics scare me - I don't want to be late getting back to the ship.
We took a cab which was around 10 dollars (12 for 6 of us). It was easy! There is a local bus, too, which we planned on doing but then we found a cab. Actually, we WERE going to walk there on the Harbour Trail, but the teenagers whined about the 30 - 40 minute walk.
Love - the pics of the souvenirs - I hope they still have a good selection when we sail in September - maybe they will be on sale since we are the 2nd to last Canadian cruise!
When we were in Halifax "our" Mickey dressed in this outfit (forget what it's called - help me out Eastern Canadians!). Therefore I call the statue Halifax Mickey!I love the Halifax Mickey!!! He's soo cute!!
Thank you for answering my questions, and for the great photos of souvenirs.
May I ask about the Jewish museum in Saint John? We are hoping to spend at least part of our day there.
Also, did you notice how much the Shutters Photo CD (all photos)cost?
Thanks again for all of your helpful comments.
getting on board for your long awaited trip report (well i've been waiting for it!! )...
great start!!
did you take your kids out of the end of school? Or were they already finished when you left?
Glad you're here!
We did take the kids out a week early. It was the only year we could do it as all 4 were in middle school this year (same finish date) and the older kids were in 9th grade so no matriculation exams complicating the end of the year. They really did not miss anything other than collecting their report cards. DS15 and one DD15 did miss end of year performances in acrobatics and dance, but they were ok with that. I'm so glad we did the early pull!
Hope you're having a good summer!
Maybe we should open an Israeli-Anglo branch of DU here????
Joining in! I am really enjoying hearing about this cruise - I love to hear about the more unusual itineraries. And I have to say I really loved seeing Liberty Minnie!
Can't wait for more!
That is so cool! For some reason, I am nearly obsessed with characters in different clothes. The whole idea just dazzles my brain - I mean they are in costume and then in costume again!!!
On the last night there was a character greet with BOTH M and M in their NY gear!!! I also loved the Halifax Mickey in his yellow slicker!
