Hubby and I are doing this on board the MS Volendam in June. It ends in Montreal, and since hubby, who's from Quebec City, has dragged me all over in our early years together, so that's a relax day. We booked quite early, and I found out quite by accident about booking excursions (many already filled up 4 months in advance), but we made good use of the credit with the Have it All package.

You will be swinging by our home port of Charlottetown so welcome.

@askarealtravelexpert , thanks. We have booked the Confederation Bridge excursion (7:30 am), so we should have some time to explore around the port. I'm looking forward to it.

The is a ton of things in walking distance at Port Charlottetown have fun.
