Please note it´s a tender port and if you go from Canada to the U.S. you go through U.S. imigration here. Don´t think the day is yours.We had a bus tour pre booked and didn´t make it ashore on time. The operator was great and exchanged our tickets to their next tour at no additional costs.Lovely city and great views in the surrounding National Park. Worth every minute.

Bar Harbor

Had a short walk at Jacqueline Kennedy Reservoir which was nice.

We had a HoHo Bus pass which was great. Ticket included a city map. Great value. Guides friendly and with great knowledge and stories to share with their guests.

time on a cruise visit is not enough - you need a week to explore allif you love art from all over the world it´s still worth to take a breath of it

it was raining and very cloudywe were told at the ticket Counter to come back when the weather is betterdid go in the bad weather and it was a great experience with the clouds hanging between the big houses

Long time to wait for the ferry at Battery park to be boarded because of security check (similar to Airport security)lovely ferry ride with great view on Manhattan Skylinestatue of liberty is impressive even if you don´t get a ticket for inside visit (sold out - no chance to get a ticket the day we where there)lovely park to walk around

only a short walk from Manhattan cruise terminaloverwhelming experiencebusy, colored, noisy but - great

We had a day ticket for a funny HoHo tour operated with converted trams. Good value for money. Also went to the old states house museum which was interesting.

The guide explained how maple syrup is made and we were able to try some of their products & buy them. Nice treat.

We had a combined tour that included a short City tour and visit to the Fairview Lawn Cemetery (Titanic burial site). It was nice.

Loved this - esp. as we had sunny weather and were the first tour bus that day. Lovely Little village and to get there you drive through nice countryside.Warning: tends to be extremely crowded later in the day. Noticed at least 5 busses going there when we left.

What a lovely City! But a city tour really is not nessessary as you can easily get around walking and using the elevator that connects the lower and upper parts of the city. However, the guide was knowledgeable and friendly and we enjoyed the tour.

Explored the city using a public transport day ticket. Great City to explore and Park Mont Royal not to be missed. Loved Montreal and will certainly be back.

Nice part of the city easily to be explored just Walking off the ship. Visit Notre Dame church is a must.

We had an inside cabin on deck 4 in the back of the ship. I liked the design. Enough storage and the bathroom was nice, too. AIDAs cabins are smaller than on most cruise lines (approx 13.5 square metres for an inside cabin, balcony cabins are bigger). AIDA provides shower gel, shampoo and hair dryer in the cabin.Sometimes some noise from the engine but not too much. As the cabins in the back are sold for a lower price it is o.k.

Various bars & Lounges - we expecially loved the nightfly bar
lots of workshops & cooking classes for an upcharge
great spa with relaxing treatments and ocean view sauna (note: sauna is German/Scandinavian style - nude with only a towel, no swimsuits allowed)
Service:
Crew is very friendly & helpful
self service laudry for a small fee is great if you travel for a longer time
port & shore excursions
see port Reviews
Please note that shore excursions booked with AIDA have German speaking guides normally.there is no casino on board (which is great for me as I don´t like casinos and in my opinion they only take space which can be used for other venues) but they offer bingo games
On our cruise there was a lecturer on board who was good.
