We REALLY appreciate that the two of you roll with the punches and don't complain when hiccups happen, and don't complain & bash the cruise line, ports or whatever. Life happens❤

My home province. I was visiting the waterfront the same day you were. I saw your cruise ship. It would have been even greater to have run into you guys. ❤❤

I live in the neighborhood and the waterfront is pretty much my backyard 🙂 glad you enjoyed your time here

We always love a good day in Halifax! On our first visit in 2018, we did the Harbor Hopper tour, then puttered around and snacked on the waterfront. Our second visit in 2022, we rented a car and hit the Citadel and went out to Peggy's Cove. Then this last time, we obviously just had a wandering day, ha ha. Woohoo!! :D

Loved the beaver tail place. I talked my friends into stopping based on your 2018 vlog when we went in 2022. I got the brownie one, very messy but OMG so good. Love your videos..❤

I really love your choice of music that you put in your videos, very relaxing.

Jay's review of the cherry pie 😂. It has to be bad since you never really complain. Just looking at it, it seems like it's more pie filling than anything else, the crust looks very thin.

Love Halifax. Museums, Fort, gardens, Dartmouth Ferry. Walk the waterfront. In our 70s and made it all in 1 day. Whew. Time for a nap

I work the shuttle system in AK......shuttles are tough. glad the bus companies all jumped in. Halifax is on the list.

We love Canadians too! Nicest people overall that we have ever met! Look so forward to your vlogs!

HI! had to see your perspective on Halifax. I live just out side of the area... the steps to the ocean, yeah, we don't know why they are there either.

You know you're on the East Coast when you don't see or hear sea lions at the ports. West Coast is brimming full with them.

Thank you… Great video… Yay we're getting in 13,000 steps that's awesome!!!

Was looking forward to Halifax vlog as I am from Nova Scotia .

Loved Halifax when we were there in 2017. For military history buffs like m husband the Naval Museum of Halifax, Shearwater Aviation. Museum and the Atlantic Canadian Aviation Museums were different things to do in the area

Tough day in Halifax, Nova Scotia. I went there last fall, took the morning tour out to Peggy's Cove & the light house, and then spent the afternoon on the hop on hop off pink bus. It poured in the afternoon. I enjoyed every minute though, but the cold I caught....kept me down for a few days. Next time I will do the waterfront!

That area is like the port for Limon' Costa Rico. At least that's what it reminded me of.

We love some Tim Hortons

NCL seems to choose inconvenient docks. I personally believe they do this to discourage passengers from booking independent excursions.

I just had a BLT egg bagel on Sunday!

That things that were painted with an octopus are called bollards. I had Tim horton's in Montreal, Beavertails in St John New Brunswick, and Cows in Charlottetown PEI. I was on a cruise and St John and Charlottetown were stops. Montreal was at the end of the cruise.

On my Prima cruise we were docked in that industrial port but there was some major problem assembling the gangway. IIRC we were delayed disembarking for well over an hour! Might have been two hours.

Killaloe... is pronounced Kill - la - loo in Ireland... that's where the name comes from no doubt.

We Canadians used to call napkins serviettes. Most of us call Tim Hortons ‘Timmies’ as in I need a timmies to get my day started. Lots of folks like a ‘double double’ which is coffee with two creams and two sugars.It’s not what is used to be, sadly. Sold out to another corporation.

Hmm, maybe bring umbrellas next time and hike rain or shine? I think you've sold everyone on beavertails, as you keep picking them every visit. :)

So so sad about that cherry pie!

Question: First, excellent video series as always. If all was normal and you were at the normal pier, how long of a walk would it be to the Beaver Tails? Thank you!

Thank you so very much for all that you are doing for our cruising community. You are both truly wonderful people. My husband and I mainly cruise on Princess and I hope to meet you one day on a ship. Our next cruise is 16 days in August to Greenland on Caribbean Princess. Very happy and safe sailing to you both!

King of Donairs or Tony's in Halifax are much better if you want a real donair. Also Lequille pizza in Annapolis Royal (Nova Scotias original capital) has amazing donairs.

Jay your pie was a cherry jelly pie.ha,ha.

If you dock in the industrial port, do they have handicap shuttle buses that will take you over to the other port?

@parodeejay

Жыл бұрын

They must! You weren't allowed to walk through the industrial area, so they'd be required to provide transportation that was suitable for all guests.

Thanks for another great video! Dee, what shoes do you pack for all your walking? These look like water type shoes. Are they comfortable for all the walking you do? I’m looking for a walking type shoe that’s not bulky like sneakers. Thanks!

Typically either Merrells for more intense walking, but an easier walking day like this one would be Skechers GoWalk, a slip-on loafer style show that's treated us well!! :D

NCL seems to dock far from town. We were on NCL one year in St. Petersburg and the ship docked next to a homeless encampment. The traffic from ship to town was dreadful. 😂

When we were there last year, we had a guy playing the bagpipes!! And the spoon lady was there too! AND we did the Harbor Hopper tour too, when the driver entered the water he drove real fast, AND we got soaked, I could see him in his mirror and he was laughing really hard…lol so were we… 💦💦😳

10:13 - Pigeons ARE doves, FYI

The shuttle situation was a bummer. At least it wasnt scorching hot. I know my kids would be whining so just the adults would have to go to Canada.

I learned something new about Jay today, he doesn’t know how to ride a bike 😢wen yal come back to Hawaii we can rent bikes to ride around Hilo. Than u can say u learned in Hawaii! 🤙🏼

7:15 - Just a little local tip, tourists mispronounce "donairs". The first syllable isn't pronounced like the man's name, "Don", it's pronounced like the first syllable of "donate", with a long "O", or the name of a female deer. "DOH-nair", not "DON-air". It's okay, we know what you mean and we love tourists, but if you find yourself in Halifax again, you can sound like a local if you want LOL

Also, for the "donair", it is the sauce that differentiates from the "gyro" (pronounced, hero, with a rolling r) basically, for the sauce, 1 can, sweetened condensed milk, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, and 1/4 cup white vinegar, mixed in slowly. This paired with the spicy beef, makes for an amazing savory dish. The spicy donair beef is made with just ground beef with the spices. A traditional gyro is made with beef, lamb, and spices. Many youtube videos show how to make donairs at home.
