As someone who lives in Charlottetown, I must say you did an amazing job celebrating my Island!! I haven't been to Green Gables in so many years. You made me put it on my summer activity list!

It’s one of my dream is to live in Canada. I had the opportunity of coming to Prince Edward Island when I was 21 years old and did a children’s camp in Canada in Toronto, but sadly couldn’t afford to come over at that time. But I would love to have the opportunity to travel around the island in horse and carriage, or buggy as you say. How wonderful it must be to live in Prince Edward Island. This lady certainly does a very good detailed description of the island and the many things you can do and see there. It’s such a pretty, romantic place and I hope one day to visit. I love Canada, and I’ve had some very beautiful experiences and taken away some very special memories of this country. I will continue to pray for your country as well. I think I read: “Anne of Green Gables” at least six times I think. Such a wonderful story, and all the sequels following it. 🌸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🙏🌸

Went there in 2019 on HAL, great time! Loved Cow's creamery and walking the town. Unfortunately the Green Gables excursion was booked up, should have booked in advance. (Cow's was great, but nothing beats gelato in Italy though).

VERY, very beautiful place. My mother-in-law was from Nova Scotia and I was up there visiting (being from New York) a little bit, and it was absolutely gorgeous. My husband attended the Catholic university there in Antigonish. We lived in New York for most of our lives. But a visit to Canada was always a treat and so beautiful. Maybe one day I'll get to Charlottesville.

My hometown!!!! Glad you enjoyed our charming little town!!!!

I’m looking into taking a Canada and New England cruise, I’ve never been there so it’s on my bucket list, I’ve enjoyed your videos you give a lot of information on cruising.

We stayed at a condo in the Charlottetown port last September for a week's vacation and I got to see my first cruise ship up close, and with the help of your videos, has lead my husband and I to book 2 cruises between now and June of 2024! How I had NEVER seen a cruise ship up close before that, I have no idea!

This video brought back so many wonderful memories of Charlottetown. Haven’t cruise to PEI, but our daughter went to Veterinary school there at AVC. Many trips there from NH to see her. We loved it. The fall is so beautiful, and Cow’s ice cream is the best!!!! Thanks for the memories.

We just returned from a Canada/Greenland cruise on August 31. Pre-cruise: all of my excitement was about Greenland. Post-cruise: my treasured memories were all about the warm people and lovely places in Canada. Sadly, we did not stop at PEI, but Sydney, Cape Breton, St. John's, and, of course, Halifax were all absolutely lovely! I will always remember how hundreds of St. John's locals lined the waterways, up all along the towering hillsides clapping & shouting, "Welcome back" and "Come back" as we sailed away. 😍 The Alexander Graham Bell Museum near Cape Breton was well worth the trip if you're a history fan. Will gladly return especially if the itinerary includes Prince Edward Island & all things Anne of Green Gables.

So interesting to watch a video of our city! I want to do this cruise sometime. ❤ Cows ice cream is good. ADL ice cream , made in factories and sold in all stores on PEI, is wonderful as well, and for me, a close contender. There is a Holmans ice cream restaurant in Summerside and many like it better. The soft serve ice cream made mostly by ADL and served in many dairy bar type outlets is so good. So glad you enjoyed your visit!

Went to PEI years ago and loved it. We stayed in a b&b hosted by a lovely couple that had Scottish ancestry. They warned us not to go to any of the French towns and really badmouthed the people with French ancestry. Of course we did go to those towns and found the people delightful. Just goes to show you how prejudice can happen anywhere. Loved PEI. Lobster supper at St. Anne’s church. Yum!

Cows is amazing. Years ago I spent a couple years in Banff Alberta and you even had a cows there. Those chocolate dipped Ruffles are also something to definitely try. PEI is a very relaxed type of place, their license plate is "Canada's Vacation land". My girlfriend and I are heading there for a long weekend next month. Another important fact to note other than Anne of Green Gables is that PEI is the birthplace of Canada.

Thanx Ilana. Had no thought of going to PEI, but now I want to go!!! LOL. Great video. Thanx for the tips, if I get there. I'd like to see some shopping tips - the best stores, best prices, etc

Nice! We went to Saint John and that was awesome too. Thanks for your comments:)

While we didn't cruise there, we spent a week in PEI in August of this year. It was our 8th holiday there, so you can tell that we love it! Great for families (camping at Twin Shores was our go-to when the kids were younger). Best deal(s) on the island (if you have the time) would be the Lobster dinners (either New Glasgow or North Rustico). While you don't have to have lobster (they have chicken, ham, steak or vegetarian options), you can choose the size of lobster you want (starting at 1 lb and going up from there) for about $36.00US (all you can eat clam chowder, mussels and dessert). As for Cows ice cream, it's....good (but this last visit rather disappointing). We definitely have better in Ontario (try Chapmans or Kawartha Lakes)! The one adventure we never miss? Deep sea fishing for cod and mackerel with "Cap'n Wade" Graham out of New London. Make sure to check out his wife Barb's collection of hand thrown pottery - the beautiful blues, greens and deep russets of the PEI landscape captured in mugs, bowls and plates. A wonderful reminder of an island that gets into your blood.

Enjoy our Island. Take the time to wander around Charlottetown. It is beautiful and relaxing.

We definitely will have to hit up Cow's, since hubby and I have been enjoying Chapman's in southern Ontario (which last year took top honors with their chocolate ice cream in Dubai), but we have been spoiled in Shawinigan at an ice cream shop near by the Cite d'Energie hotel. This summer, we're booked on Holland America's MS Volendam Boston to Montreal. We have booked the Confederation Bridge excursion (7:30 to 10:30 am). Good thing we're early risers. The Anne of Green Gables tour was completely booked already. The other excursion we decided on to use up our Have it All perk is a walking tour in Bar Harbor. We're going to have to find out if we can tender over earlier to see the town too, since it brings us back to the ship 30 minutes before departure.

I went to Cavendish, PEI in May to explore all things Anne of Green Gables and made a YT video about my trip! PEI is so beautiful ❤

I've lived on this island my whole life and the only nice thing about it is the nature. Everything else is a shit show and you all should avoid coming here at all costs. Anne of Green Gables never existed yet we use 'her' to get more people to come to this god forsaken tourist trap. Most of our industry is seasonal and if you're looking for opportunities you should go/stay out west. I'm not saying these things because I dislike tourists and immigrants, I'm saying these things because PEI is the worst province in Canada to do anything. This place is where small businesses come to die. This place is where the young get stuck and have no where to go but six feet under the ground. This place will kill your dreams, eat you up, and shit you out. Just remember, this place looks nice but don't try to live here, you'll regret every second you waste.
