We REALLY don't like tender ports... and this proved again why not! They are slow to load and get you to shore... and then our boat bottoms out and gets stuck in low tide!
Once we finally make it to shore we can see just how low the tide is as the water is almost gone all the way to the ship that is docked in port. We have never seen water in a cruise port this low!
Saguenay is a cute town in Quebec and we enjoyed a day walking around in the nice weather and having a good local lunch. But other than that... there wasn't a lot to do here. This is a port that we should have pre-booked an excursion. But we like to explore ports on our own... this one didn't fill the day so we went back to the ship early. But it was a beautiful sail away!

I love your videos! Saguenay is an amazing town! Unfortunately, you stayed and walked around La Baie-which has not much to do. There’s a bus that would have taken you from the cruise port to Saguenay center where there was a lot more to do and see.

per another video (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qcd8mMtq3qeweYk.html) there are lots to do! Well this video talks about the top ten things to do! Happy traveling!!

So sad to hear you said that Saguenay was not a good port….you know it a very small town and it’s mainly a nature place. And if you are travel agents you should have known that you must reserve before arriving… cruise port don’t have all to be tourists trap will junk souvenirs shops… and the real poutine doesn’t have pull pork, just saying!! Bienvenue au Québec! Welcome to Quebec!

So sorry that you could not go on the fjord cruise. It's too bad you didn't take the hop-on hop-off bus. There was a fiord museum, and we absolutely loved going to the Chicoutimi Pulp Mill with terrific artwork inside. Maybe someday you can give it another chance.😊

You guys should have taken a cab or uber to the actual city of Saguenay which has a lot more to offer than the area of La Baie, where the ships dock. You would have seen so much more!

so sorry you did not plan ahead and check things out prior to arriving, any port can be boring with no planning

Two things you missed: St. Alphonse, next to the craft fair; Lady of Saguenay (Notre-Dame-du-Saguenay) statue on the cliffs, starboard side outbound. The salespeople I met in Saguenay were not the seasonal workers that travel with the cruise seasons to Alaska and the Caribbean. I did not see Diamonds International, Señor Frog's, etc. in Saguenay.

I'm really sorry you didn't get to take the small boat cruise in the fjord. We did that a few years ago and lucked out that we hit the fall colors right at peak season. It was stunningly beautiful. We did book it through the cruise line which we normally try to avoid, but as you found out there didn't appear to be any way to do it independently when we were there. You'll just have to go back! We are hooked on Canada / New England cruises during the fall. We've done 3 so far and I'm sure we'll do more. Love your videos!!

Poutine is very much like British Fish & Chips Easy to mess up But fantastic when all the elements line up

La Baie is top rated, very welcoming locals. We did NewYork to Quebec City because it went to Saguenay which is home to me. The bow of the ship was open when we left and we stopped at the Virgin Mary statue where we got its history. Too bad you did not make it to Chicoutimi...

MSC Seascape had the best French Onion soup I've had at sea!

Saguenay was a lovely port when we went last year. It was the only port I booked an excursion through the cruise ship because my research showed that was the best way to see this port. It isn’t a good port to just walk around.

@dianealvarado6219 10 ай бұрын

You guys always make the food looks so good. Even the French onion soup! And I do not eat onions at all. I could be eating something and not taste the onion at all, but if I ever see, it in my plate I am through.❤

So, back in 2015 on my first cruise, I was on a Bermuda cruise from Boston. It was the Norwegian Dawn and the night we were leaving Bermuda, I guess the stirring system failed and the ship ran aground on the reefs. The ship was stuck there on the reef overnight before they could pull us back into Bermuda the next morning. We ended up getting an extra day in Bermuda because they had to get teams in to inspect the ship's integrity.

I am still dreaming about the coq au vin I had in Le Bistro on my cruise in June! Going on another NCL cruise next month, and I cannot wait to order that coq au vin again.

I was there September of last year and did a whale watching trip, The fjords are a breeding ground for beluga whales which we did see.

Looking at Sanguenay on Google maps, it appears that the main part of town is around the point and further upstream. Could explain why there wasn't much going on where you were.

I think if you had gone into the main part of town, you might have been able to find a boat cruise that did not require booking through your cruise line.

Jason, you made me laugh with your “coQ au vin”. I’m French Canadian but live in Florida, you are in my country. I hate poutine but love coQ au vin. Enjoy Québec, it just beautiful and there is a lot to do.

I’m finding this cruise series very interesting. Not much ship life, it seems? Mostly about the ports?

@vonniebench 10 ай бұрын

We love Le Bistro. Don't they have an outstanding mushroom soup as well? We'll be on the Jade in May, broke down and got a suite. Not sure what to expect, as we have friends that joined us late out of the blue, and we have perks they do not. Any suggestions? Long time follower of you two!

Just did MSC Canadian/New England cruise and all the ports were boring for us. We will never go back. Boston is the only one worth going to but they didn’t stay long enough and stayed too long at boring ports. Thank goodness we have already done land vacations in Boston a few times.

I am not a fan of poutine. Never have been. It doesn’t even look good … to me. That said, take the ingredients and separate them and I might actually like it … deconstruction! 😂
