Is This the Best Way to Start a Cruise? | Toronto to Montreal
The Volendam Eastern Canada cruise adventure begins - but first, the journey there is an adventure all on its own! Watch as Jerry and Jill trade planes for trains, spending a night at the historic Omni King Edward Hotel in Toronto (room 747, naturally) before boarding Via Rail Business Class to Montreal with Caesars, salmon, and weather planning en route. In Montreal the Canucklings gather for a pre-cruise party featuring ketchup chips, Canadian Smarties, Hawaiian pizza debates, and Crown Royal - before a spectacular three-hour guru walking tour with guide Tristan covers everything from the Horatio Nelson monument to the Polytechnique memorial. Then Notre Dame's Aura light show delivers something genuinely breathtaking that cameras simply weren't allowed to capture. Embarkation day on the Volendam tomorrow - and Jerry is already watching the weather for Newfoundland! 0:00 - Eastern Canada Adventure Begins: Train North of Toronto! 0:45 - Union Station Toronto: Finding the Via Rail Lounge 2:00 - Omni King Edward Hotel: Room 747 Tour! 3:30 - St. Lawrence Market Toronto: Best Smoked Turkey Sandwich 5:00 - Yonge and Dundas: Canada's Times Square 6:00 - Canada Computers: Jill Tolerates the Fancy Lights 7:00 - Morning: Walking to Union Station + CN Tower Sighting 8:00 - Via Rail Business Class: Seats, Lounge + First Caesar! 10:00 - Train Lunch: Pasta vs Salmon at 200 km/h 11:30 - Arriving Montreal: Embassy Suites Suite Tour 13:00 - Happy Hour + Pre-Cruise Canuckling Party Setup 14:30 - Canadian Snack Initiation: Smarties vs American Smarties! 15:30 - Ketchup Chips: Jerry Converts the Group 16:30 - Montreal Guru Walk Begins: Guide Tristan Takes Over 18:00 - Metro Stop from Paris + Queen Victoria Monument 19:30 - Rooftop Port Building: Tomorrow's Ship Arrives Here! 21:00 - Oldest Plaza in Montreal: 1700s Military Training Ground 22:30 - Horatio Nelson + Polytechnique Memorial 24:00 - Notre Dame Aura Light Show: Worth Every Dollar! 26:30 - Old Montreal at Night: Leonard Cohen Hallelujah! 28:00 - Volendam Embarkation TOMORROW + Newfoundland Preview!
