What a great video! We're glad our neighbours in Newfoundland were able to host you after the hurricane. Seeing the northern lights on that part of the island is a rare treat! We had some damage in Nova Scotia as well, so we're glad there was enough of Halifax opened up for you to explore. Hope to see you again some time!

@@akfasso Definitely. Some areas were definitely harder hit than others. Cape Breton is beautiful, especially in fall. If you go back to Gros Morne National Park, you could do a trip through the Cape Breton Highlands National Park and then on to Newfoundland. Both parks are beautiful and have amazing hiking and other adventures to offer, like whale watching and kayaking. Perfect for those who love nature.

glad you got to visit my neck of the woods. Looks like you took full advantage of visiting what we here in Canada take for granted. Congrats on that. In 2016, we drove down to Boston to hop on a cruise to Bermuda. Bermuda was being hit by hurricane Nicole as we drove past Saint John, NB and Portland ME, not knowing if our cruise was going to be rerouted back this way. We got lucky and did make it to Bermuda. I was joking with my wife that if we were cruising to Canada, I was going to rent a bus and offer guided tours in order to recoup some of my money LOL.

We've done the Canada/New England cruise twice on NCL and would definitely recommend a cruise that either starts or ends at Quebec City and that includes sailing up the Saguenay to La Baie, Quebec. We were there the first week of October and the fall colors were the best. We also had the surprise visit to Corner Brook, Newfoundland due to the hurricane.

Canada has got to be the most overatted country on the planet aside from the UAE and China, everything is over priced, no freedom of speech which can get you in trouble federally if say the wrong things publically, and the RCMP is the most corrupt police organization in North America (which is saying a lot). I lived in Canada until two years ago until moving to Vermont, and the Northeast US is far nicer (not in the fake east coast canada meaning of "nice") and more welcoming than Northeast Canada. Canadas downfall and economic poverty is truly heartbreaking the last 7 years

Obviously as a cruise traveller, you only see the positive and polished tip of the iceberg of any destination. But just like Russia, Qatar, China, Cuba, and the UAE, the Canadian government hides all of the poverty behind plywood fences, displacing homeless people to hide the mass poverty on the Canadian east coast, and only gives licenses to tourism operators that donate to the Liberal party
