    Northumberland Ferries - Seating in the waiting Terminal

    Instead of driving across the Confederation Bridge from PEI to Nova Scotia and across the province…read moreto Cape Breton the staff at our hotel suggested that we take the ferry to save on gas, time, and energy. We were assured that it wasn't going to be a busy day and that we didn't need to make reservations prior to arriving at the ferry. We got there pretty early, paid at the booth (I believe we were charged $84 as one vehicle instead of how many passengers we had), and then proceeded to park the car in the lane we were told and wait until boarding. In addition to personal vehicles tractor trailers and others loaded with lumber used the ferry as well. We saw a small ferry terminal on the side (equipped with a small cafe, washrooms, and wifi) but weren't sure when we'd be boarding and didn't want to risk it. Turns out (from reading the other review) that an announcement is made inside the terminal prior to boarding. It was a tight fit for our rental Camry down the ramp to where we parked on the ferry. I can't imagine what it must've been like for larger vehicles like pickup trucks. I believe there was an elevator to take you up to the deck where seating was but there was also a set of stairs. Only one level was open for seating when we were on the ferry. The upper deck where it said Cows was located wasn't open. We knew the food and beverages offered on the ferry would be expensive but it's still always a shock to see the prices. Since it was a nice day out sitting outside was quite pleasant but too far for the wifi signal.

    Already cross the Confederation Bridge into PEI? Take the ferry back!…read more Adding a memory to our adventure, we opted to take the ferry from PEI to Nova Scotia. It has 9 departures from the Wood Islands Terminal. Our hotel was quick to make our reservations for the time we wanted. This was important as they board reservations first. If you happen to arrive early, there is a terminal with concessions, restrooms and wifi. They are equipped with plenty of seating to accommodate the awaiting passengers. They will make an announcement in the terminal for guests to return to their vehicles for boarding. Their process was quick and efficient. Once the cars around you are parked you are able to get out of the car to make your way up deck levels. Aboard the ferry they have many amenities to offer. Concessions, restrooms and a concierge to help with hotel or dining options in Nova Scotia. You can also stand out on deck and watch the waves pass by. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. It was a nice option to have on our return back to the States.
