Creator's Key Takeaways

Even though there were fewer things open because of the holiday, we still thoroughly enjoyed our visit to St. John.

Walking along the waterfront, seeing the dramatic change in the tides, talking with locals, and enjoying some classic Canadian food made for a very relaxed and memorable day in port.

The combination of fries, cheese curds, and gravy was a filling and very Canadian way to end our day.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Take advantage of the area's walkability and close proximity to the ship.
Check the tide times at the information booth to plan your day.
Visit Area 506 for convenient food and souvenirs near the cruise terminal.
