Boston to Nova Scotia Cruise

#1 (**permalink**) December 29th, 2004, 10:04 PM

We are taking the RCCL Enchantment on the 4th or 11th of Sept. Anyone done this cruise before?

We are avid lighthouse fans and want to know if they stay close enough to the shore to get great pictures of them?

What about whale watching? Is this a good time to go to do this and fall colors too?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

thanks
sherri and Jay

What part of Nova Scotia are you going to ? Halifax and Cape Breton?

That is a little early for foliage. Mid-late Oct. southern NE, Late Sept-Early Oct Northern NE. We are still wearing summer clothes w/ occasional sweater at night the first week of Sept.

If your want to see soem Lighthouses the one that you pass for sure is on Hangmans Beach as you come into the Port Of Halifax. It will be on your right/starboard side as you enter Port.

Interesting story about the Beach is this is where they use to hang any Mutineers/Criminals back in the 17/1800's. It was for all the Sailors to see and not get any ideas.
