Quebec City is a great city. We have been fortunate enough to have visited Quebec City twice before. We have toured Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac and did a walking tour of Old Town Quebec City, and visited Montmorency Falls and the Basilica of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré.
Because the Volendam is a small ship, I thought we would be able to dock at the Old Town port like we did once on the Zaandam. Instead, we were at the industrial port like when we were on the Zuiderdam which is a larger ship. The City did provide shuttle service this time from the industrial port to a couple of different places in Old Town.
We started with a breakfast in the main dining room. Then we walked a mile around the promenade.
It was a pretty day today and lots of people got off of the ship. We didn’t however. We disembark tomorrow and the suitcases needed to be packed. It didn’t take too long. I watched the Clooney and Pitt 2024 movie Wolfs.
We spent the rest of the day enjoying the Sea View area. We said good-bye to the friends we made. Found out they will be on our April cruise from Ft. Lauderdale to Vancouver through the Panama Canal.
Tonight, we had a reservation at the Canaletto. We usually don’t eat at a specialty restaurant on the last night of the cruise but tonight was the only time I could get a reservation earlier than 8:00. It was a delicious dinner. I had the shrimp and lobster puff pastries. Chuck had the beef tenderloin.
We ended the evening in the Casino playing off the casino points we had accumulated. Time to get the bags finalized and out in the hallway.
Tomorrow: Disembarkation in Montreal
