I'm very impressed with the production and artistic qualities of this video. Your narration content is great, and you seem very natural. Please keep making videos you like. Also, I can't believe you don't have more subscribers.👍
Hi I am a solo traveler 🧳 from the UK and I will also be doing the Canada 🇨🇦/New England cruise 🚢 in September 2024, I am so happy I stumbled on your vlog, it was a joy to watch and I am getting so excited. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for posting this. My husband and I are thinking about taking this cruise next year, but it would be the 7-day. Seeing the Northern Lights would be awesome.
Great video. We sail with princess cruises mid September 7 days. Hope the weather okay 🙏... First visit to Canada and New York.. can't wait..thank you you have given us some great ideas..
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!
Hope you have all made a smooth recovery from this hurricane season! Looking forward to planning my return trip soon! Missing Cape Breton was the biggest tease of the entire trip. :)
@@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.
Thank you for a really interesting video. We’re travelling from Ireland in early Fall to cruise on the NCL Joy from NYC to Quebec, taking in some of the ports you featured. But what was most useful was a glimpse of the weather, from a what to pack point of view. Certainly seems as varied as Ireland at that time of year.
“Varied” is the absolute correct word to describe this time of year here. 😂 I packed something for all types of weather - a fall jacket, pants, bathing suit, shorts. Hope you have a wonderful time!
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.
Fantastic video. We're cruising from Baltimore to Quebec in September (our first cruise) and it feels a bit overwhelming. But we are looking forward to seeing the sites and experiencing the food.
I have never done any cruise but have had my eye on Norwegian for a while. The weather did not seem to cooperate but it sure looked beautiful. We just got back from Hawaii and as im sitting here watching this I looked at my wife and said “We shoulda done that instead” 🤣😂
IF you do Fijords .MSC were great.. We are in UK .so sailed from Southampton. . It's probably up there with one of my ALL time cruise's.. spectacular scenery... We're considering the Hawaii trip. But flight from UK sooo long..
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.
@@kiltedkiller8178 We left from Boston and took a gamble and flew in the day of the cruise. Stayed with friends in Quebec City. We've never had NCL book a hotel.
We have a Canada/NE trip plan from Quebec to Fort Lauderdale this month. You have a great video, I love being to see some of the places we are going. Though like you, we seem to be threatened with hurricane storms. I have wondered if our itinerary will change last minute, like you said you just have to switch gears and roll with it. 😊
Sending positive thoughts your way that you get to go to PEI! I felt the same way about my Cape Breton (Sydney) stop that was skipped. That’s why I booked that cruise! Alas, weather is out of our control and I was happy NCL arranged for us to visit another destination (Newfoundland), which ended up being my favorite destination of the trip!
Do you mind telling me the precise dates of your cruise? The colors look perfect and that's why I ask so that my husband and I know when will be peak season for leaves. Thanks. Great video, btw😊
September 23 - Oct 3. I will say, though you may see some pops of color in the video, we were about a week or two earlier than peak colors! It varies every year. Hard to time it exactly, but if I were to try to do it again, I might book the first week of October instead. :) Enjoy your cruise!
Thanks for responding. I did not see that as an excursion on Princess but I will look again. I just found your video today and really liked how you filmed the ports and gave very helpful information. I am now subscribed. Thank you
Hi! There were no formal nights on this cruise. They do offer “dress up or not” nights, but I can’t recall which days those fell on. Instead, what I observed was people dressing up for the restaurant they were eating at. So, everyone looked pretty nice at Cagneys steakhouse, for example, but were in more casual clothes for Q Texas Smokehouse. Hope this helps!
Never sailed on a New England/Canada cruise before. It is on my wish list, especially since I live close to NYC thus an easy commute to the cruise terminal. I look forward to your tour of the ship & more Northern lights info. It’s always a “Joy” watching your travel channel.
Hi, I’m just seeing your video which is really nice and wanted to know when did you go and what were the temperatures? I’m going the first part of September and not sure how to pack. Any information would be appreciated. 😊
Sept 23 - Oct 3! Oh gosh… I can’t exactly remember what I was wearing, but I suspect temperatures were in the 50s and 60s (°F). I remember thinking it was very comfortable weather to explore each city in. Not too hot or too cold. On the ship, I’d often be outside under a blanket enjoying the sun. Have a great trip!
Very good video! Hubby and I are doing the MS Volendam Boston to Montreal this June, our first night celebrating our 39th anniversary. It will be our first ocean-going cruise.
Wow fantastic video. Very informative and I loved your attitude regarding the itinerary change. Some people would be upset, but you just seemed to roll with it. I’m considering the 8 day cruise from NY to Quebec City next September on the Joy. I did an Alaska cruise on the Joy and it was an awesome ship! We will see! Thanks for sharing.
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

Thank you! I know you have some time before your cruise, but I hope you enjoy it!
@@akfassoHey waiting for more of your adventures.
@@debbieannisaacs2778 more to come! I have a few trips lined up through the end of the year, so I look forward to sharing.
@@akfasso can’t wait 🙂
We’re on the Sept. cruise too, can’t wait.
Thank you for posting this. My husband and I are thinking about taking this cruise next year, but it would be the 7-day. Seeing the Northern Lights would be awesome.
We used to live in New England, so we chose the Norwegian Cruise to the Caribbean instead and it was fabulous!
Great video. We sail with princess cruises mid September 7 days. Hope the weather okay 🙏... First visit to Canada and New York.. can't wait..thank you you have given us some great ideas..
Wonderful! I was considering Princess cruises before I booked this one. I’ll have to give them a try at some point. Enjoy!
You are very good on what you do. Keep up the good work .
Thanks so much!
Newfoundland is pronounced like saying: NEW fen lend. Giving emphasis is the word NEW. I loved your video.❤
Thanks. I always research my pronunciations before making these videos, but I guess I looked in the wrong spot. :)

@@akfasso Thank you so much. We've decided to upgrade everything just to make life easier for the 11 days. We decided on an aft balcony cabin.
Thank you. Very beautiful work. Loved the video. Was thinking last minute of taking one by myself in a few weeks. Might b cool or cold.
Thanks for the compliment! Hope you decide to do it!
@@akfasso thanks God bless

Hope you had fun in Hawaii!
Well we didnt see the gates to Jurasic Park 🤣😂but it was a nice time, thanks.
No, I have been to 2 Norwegian cruises and to Hawaii twice. I will pick Hawaii anytime.
@@ОксанаГрімм i guess i just need to do both 😂🧐

Out of curiosity which hotel did the company book you to stay in? We haven’t heard yet.. we’re on the 7 day from NYC to Halifax

Hurricanes are sometimes just part of the adventure! Have a great time wherever you may end up. :)
Enjoyed your video. Your narration is fantastic. Which month did you go in?
Thank you! September.
P.E.I is the only port I'm looking forward to and reason for the cruise I booked on NCL in Sept I will be so heart broken if this port gets skipped 😢
Sending positive thoughts your way that you get to go to PEI! I felt the same way about my Cape Breton (Sydney) stop that was skipped. That’s why I booked that cruise! Alas, weather is out of our control and I was happy NCL arranged for us to visit another destination (Newfoundland), which ended up being my favorite destination of the trip!
What is P.E.I.?
Prince Edward Island?
Yes, sorry I was on this vacation and wasn't able to respond

Did you do a video on the actual ship inside and the food.
Yes:

What nights were the formal nights
What time of the year was this? I'm thinking about going in Early September - probably too early to see northern lights.
This was in September!
Where do you pick up the rental car in C orner brook?
I booked with Enterprise. They sent someone down to the port to pick me up and bring me a short drive up the road to their offices.
Going on a MSC with the same itinerary you were scheduled. Did you need Canadian dollars for the food stops in the ports?
I believe I used my credit card for all Canadian purchases.
How did you get to the Maple Sugar Farm?
It was a booked excursion through the cruise ship, so we boarded a coach bus right from the port.
Thanks for responding. I did not see that as an excursion on Princess but I will look again. I just found your video today and really liked how you filmed the ports and gave very helpful information. I am now subscribed. Thank you
When was this cruise?
September 2022.
I'm going on a 10 Norwegian joy cruise What days are the formal nights

Sounds fun! Happy anniversary. :)

Fantastic video AK!!! Awesome
Great video, thank you. Would definately do the cruise. Hopefully including PEI as well.
Thank you! Yes… I would love to do it again, so I can finally visit PEI. :) Hope you get to book yours soon!
A cruise to Canada/N England is definitely on our wish list, hopefully in 2024. Loved your video
Hope you get to go! It was great!
Sure, we will do
Loved this video, the narrative, the transitions, your voice tone, everything! Thanks
Going in the same route in August! So excited 🩵✨
Thank you so much! Hope you have a great time. :)
