Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been on a lot of cruises uh Royal Caribbean Celebrity Carnival it doesn't matter what whoever it was I've probably been on 150 excursions

I enjoy Donuts 55 minute drive along the Waterfront Beacon Hill and uh snacks from that's Tim Horton's

Canada by night so if you're staying uh have a late night departure Victor at night is fantastic

Creator's Tips & Advice

Take a taxi if you don't want to do excursions, as it's only a 10-15 minute drive to key sites.
Check if Uber or equivalent works in Canada to ensure you can get back to the ship on time.
