Lived in Newfoundland for 41 years and Nova Scotia for 25 years so you can imagine how much I enjoyed this blog! Now living in Alberta and I thank you for this touch of Atlantic Canada!

I’m loving the homage to Ben and David! ❤

Second vlog on board and didn't disappoint! Jerry channeling Ben is hilarious. Loved following along in old Quebec. Brought back wonderful memories of our cruise on Celebrity Summit a couple of years ago-we had an overnight there which was fantastic! Hope HAL gets your stateroom temp resolved. Loved Loved Breton Thunder! What a rollicking good time. I am making supper and dancing in the kitchen to the tunes. Kudos to HAL for bringing local talent onboard, from the region you're sailing in. Cheers from London, Ontario.

That wang wang is stronger than a long island iced tea

Quebec City is on our bucket list after watching your video. Looks like such beautiful, charming place to visit! Mr. Canuck - your chocolate chip dessert you had for lunch looked fantastic! Yum! Loved your formal dress, Jill!!!!

Nice video. This is my favourite repeat itinerary but I always cruise solo. Your video convinced hubby to try it. We got a super early booking deal on Volendam next year. Canadian ports only and a stop in St Pierre Et Miquelon. No large airports, no Customs, and Canadian currency everywhere. Montreal to Montreal. Thanks Mr and Mrs Canuck.

Quebec City is one of my favourite cities in Canada. I have been going there since I was a very young child. Hope you enjoyed it as much as we always do.

Great vlog of your Canada Cruise on the Volendam 👏🤗👏 Very impressed with Quebec and the Notre Dame beautiful church. Thank for sharing 🫶🏻 Been wanting to do the Canada HA cruise for several years now. But Euro & Caribbean Cruises ..always WIN Do not cruise as much as you guys 🛟🛳️🛟 I am not a KZfaqr Great evening show Love Ireland ☘️

Very nice. The church reminds me of our Assumption Church in Windsor Ontario.

What a beautiful looking church! Great video.

I like to get Christmas ornaments from our travels. We got a really beautiful glass ornament of the Chateau at that Christmas shop.

That cookies and cream cake looks good 👍

I'm so looking forward to our June 22 starting in Boston. My suitcase is packed, hubby's working on his. It definitely feels more real now than last November. Your videos are making it look so great. I'm not sure I'd tell hubby about the Wang Wang. I had a coworker who used to call tequila "to kill ya".

We tend to go to Alaska as we drive to Vancouver Cruise Terminal . Next year we will book this cruise . Good videography of Quebec City and life on board one of my favourite little ships. Looking forward to next port .

Excellent video. Last time in Quebec City was 1981. Need to return soon.

Love the Cape Breton tartan pants...way to go!

I love all the choices for your background music in all your vlogs. Love all the vlogs you have done.

Glad you enjoyed Montreal and Quebec City!

Great vlog went to Quebec years ago and loved it, brought back memories that band reminded me of a Irish band sounded brilliantl.

I love that you brought up the restroom availability. That is always on my mind when we're in Europe: always have Euro coins, or where can we stop where we can use the restroom? Use it even if you don't need to, because you never know when you'll see one. Love the easy going day today in Quebec City. Nice it wasn't so busy.

I leave on the Volendam July 13th. Cannot wait.

That is great at Quebec City. My wife really like going to Quebec City. My wife really enjoyed walking around. The first time she didn't need to use a walker. Pasta could be really good. Don't like cheeseburgers. That's why I don't like ice cream cones. Like staying overnight in Quebec City. Don't eat shellfish. With my bread like Olive Oil. Like Veggies. Do have meat a few times since that gives me some vitamins and nutrients that I need. Like fiddles. They must be from Cape Breton.

Thanks for the tour of the city, it brings back nice memories of our last visit. Formal night, the food and the music looked awesome. So glad you are enjoying this cruise as one of your best ever but weak AC in a cabin would be annoying. Thanks for the vlog.

My fall cruise has this port as on overnight which I am super excited about. Looks like a great port for a longer stop.

Finally found the letter. I dont know how i missed the hints/ clues. Good vlog , watched 3times for the letter.

Très bon résumé de votre voyage! ❤

The lady in the bright pink T-shirt walking behind you on the Lido is my wife LOL

I’m right there with you on the Wang Wang. Did a cruise where Wang Chung were on board and we went to a special event that included many different tastings, I could not drink the majority of the drinks including the Wang Wang, way too strong for me!

Loved all the CB music in the theatre and the CB tartan pants!! Felt like I was there again. So glad you loved the show Breton Thunder yes!!!

Sorry it is me again. What a day you have had. Amazing evening too. Music and food exceptional. Heaven. What an amazing ship.

I can’t believe the AC wasn’t fixed! Nice video with food shots and Quebec City scenery! Very beautiful. It reminded me of Edinburgh, but not quite as old or as frantic and crowded, maybe before because you were there so early. It was also very clean and nice that they had clean, FREE public restrooms! Also, unlike France, it didn’t look like they were people smoking everywhere… I didn’t think Mrs. C would like the funicular with that with that noise, even if it didn’t go straight up!😅

Day 2 of the cruise & I’m sold to do one, could even stop & mow my lawn when we stop in Halifax 🤣 What a simple pleasure to sit there with a drink & listen to those classic down home tunes (garage floor stompers)

All my mothers family are French Canadian, and I have an aunt there. Last time I visited was in 2019. I never tire seeing Vieux Montreal and Quebec City. Yes lots of walking.

We are really enjoying your videos for this cruise 🚢 my husband and I did a driving holiday to Nova Scotia, Cape Breton as he is from Cape Breton, a few years ago we stopped in Quebec City for 2 nights and absolutely loved it👍 your tour around brought back some wonderful memories 💕💕❤️ looking forward to seeing day 3 take care and again Thanks love ALL your videos 👍

We did a similar cruise out of Quebec City on the Zuiderdam a few years back. It was SO WONDERFUL. I think my favorite stop was on Cape Breton Island - we went to a musical show there and it was beyond fantastic. Much like the show you saw on this memorable day :-)

Thank you both - love your style of videos. Love the little Ben and David comment :) We'll be doing this cruise but 11 night and beginning in Boston ending in my hometown of Montreal,so you're making me even more excited. The band looks awesome. Looking forward to seeing more.

We saw Quebec City years ago. Loved it the first time and again on a cruise later on. Beautiful history and a beautiful city.

Quebec City looks beautiful, on my bucket list for sure. Wow, the concert was amazing, felt like I was at a local bar. I would love to do this cruise.

I am so glad the Wang Wang was sampled! I was the one that originally brought it up in the live😅 I always heard that it was called a Wang Wang because it's like an onomatopoeia of how ambulances sound in Indonesia and you'll need one after drinking one😂😂😂

We've been twice (one 7nt. &one 15 nt. and still need to go back during leaf color)

Look forward to seeing Quebec City one day, as well as sailing on the Volendam. And now the Wang Wang is on my to do list. Hope to see Jerry attempt it again on this cruise!

I am really enjoying your blog; got a kick out of the Ben and David reference🙂. Hubby, son and I took this cruise on HAL years ago. Great memories.

Wow….we must visit Quebec City now. And the Christmas store!! 🎄 Jill, your lavendar dress was beautiful. 👗

Sounds like a great show 😢

So glad you all have been doing this cruise. I will be taking a similar cruise next year. I hope the band will still be there on the Volendam.

Great vlog...had our honeymoon at the Frontenac in 1967. We love Holland America but have noticed the food is on a downward slid. Great music too.

Just a wonderful summary of your day!

btw, some of the best benedict I have had, have been from HAL's Lido :)

On our last Royal Caribbean cruise the captain actually sang with the band twice and played pool volleyball! Coolest

Thankyou for the beautiful organ music and amazing tour

Brought me back to our trip with our boys from Ottawa to Montreal by car, and by train from Montreal to Quebec City. We stayed at a VRBO within the Old City walls. Nothing like eating poutine at a restaurant with a view of Chateau Frontenac, wandering around the old city walls and viewing the Plains of Abraham. My son and I went under the boardwalk to see the ruins of the original governor's mansion, etc. and the other son, on the Spectrum, trying to fish lost coins from between the boards along the boardwalk. If you go back, it might be worth your while to get out to Montmorency waterfall... but wait... Jill may not enjoy the gondola ride up or, alternatively, the multitude of steps up to the top of the escarpment.🤣 Also, there's an interesting lane full of local artists displaying their works of art for sale.

Loved the Cape Breton music, especially the snippets of Barra MacNeils and Rankins favourites! (A refreshing change from Sweet Caroline, eh?)

Great video. Canada / New England is on our list, maybe next year. Also, that band is awesome.

This trip & the ship look amazing.

I love the purple dress! Beautiful!

Love your vlog today. Quebec City is gorgeous. I need to go back there again. I'm in Toronto so not too far.

We loved the video. Quebec City has moved up in priority on places to visit list.

Another awesome video, thank you for posting these!

The wang wang seems to be a tropical long island iced tea.

Beautiful well kept city.

This made me smile. So close to 10 😊

Well I have to say, our Canada/New England cruise was one of the best...but it was on Princess..We will have to try Holland America and the smaller ship at that.

They have some Celtics acts on Celebrity too

Enjoyed watching your videos for this cruise. They are always very enjoyable. It is interesting seeing everyone's likes and dislikes. I would have loved the cruise apart from the entertainment you showed us in the theatre. It is clear you thoroughly enjoyed it, but the violin/jiggy music just isn't my scene. Everyone has their opinion, which I respect, but it wouldn't have worked for me. PS I had to watch your video no. 2 four times to find the letter!

You guys are right, that band is fantastic! Did they ever fix the air in your cabin?

Found it!!!

A Spirit of the West song, too

Ive watched twice and havent found the letter either!

If I didn't know better, I would have thought you were standing in front of a green screen at the end of the video on the promenade deck! 😆

We love Holland America so much, definately our fav cruise line. Would you ever consider doing a world cruise on HAL? My husband and I are looking into one for '26. But we love the itinerary on the Zuiderdam in '25. We just love that itinerary. Hoping they have it again in '26. Love your videos!!!

Old Quebec looks like the clean version of old Montreal

Beautiful city. What time were you there? Nothing looks like it’s open

I've eaten my fair share of Swedish pancakes....😅 "Hej" from Sweden!

How can you forget Rush and The Hip when mentioning Canadian bands lol

It seems very empty. Maybe early?

What is in a glacier blue?

Beautiful church. I watched twice and missed the letter😢

Was the ship full to capacity? (It sounds as if it wasn't.) If not, what was the occupancy rate?

Jerry why the change all of a sudden are you going vegetarian or vegan? Are you feeling ok? And it’s poo-teen 😆

You guys are very nice, and I like you. But I can't handle all the selfies. I unsubscribed. Sorry.
