YouTube Video Description

This port report is from Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, where we sailed with Princess Cruise Line. We cover the port basics and our experience touring with our Enterprise rental car. Quite a nice port! It was fun to explore the tidal changes along the Bay of Fundy, which included a stop at St Martins, St Martin Caves, and the start of the Fundy Trail. Back in the city of Saint Martin, we checked out the Saint John City Market, Saint John Police Museum, and 506 Waterfront Container Village. Lots of other possibilities were there to explore as well, including Reversing Falls and Woodchucks Ax Throwing. This video is NOT sponsored.

We found that many videos lack the details we needed, such as parking, restrooms, available services, and even sidewalk quality. We act as your “port scout”, providing first-hand reports on essential information that others overlook; our videos cover port terminals, independent excursions, goods, services, transportation and even ship tours. With time ticking away during your port visit, we understand the importance of sound planning to make every moment count. Let us give you the Lowdown!
