Friday, October 2 After an interesting day of touring Saint John, New Brunswick, it was amazing to watch this very large Royal Caribbean cruise ship do a complete turn-around in the Bay of Fundy – right next to our very large cruise ship.
Thursday, October 1 Because we could not pull into port today in Halifax, Nova Scotia, due to the wind and rain, Sing & Sail Christian Cruise added an extra program this afternoon.
