Charlottetown is the capital of Prince Edward Island aka PEI. In 1864 it was the birthplace of the Canadian Confederation where colonial leaders gathered to discuss the unification of Canada. This is the main port for all cruise and commercial ships. It has easy walking access to downtown and also a very nice large modern terminal where you can get food and many shops with souvenirs. There were people there greeting us in a courtesy tourist booth that offered maps, tours etc.. of the island. It's a small place but very pretty and rich with culture and history. I really enjoyed the day there and the fresh seafood. You can't leave without trying the PEI mussels and lobster! read more
What a delightfully clean, bright, welcoming port! Yes, they had been hit hard by a hurricane a few weeks before, but no sign of it at this port or really into the city! (The clean up was obviously successful!) This is a small port and the city is very beautiful! I didn't get the chance to explore on foot but drove through on a tour bus. read more
It's another ok port. The Food Hall and Market here also has Wifi besides a variety of shops. The port is also quite close to town making for some comfortable strolling while catching some fresh Prince Edward Island air. read more

We really appreciated the walkability of this port from the ships to the heart of downtown. The walk was beautiful from start to finish. You'll find several restaurants floating along the water including a spud French fries shop, ice cream and, of course, lobster. The port building was quaint, clean and offered a variety of souvenir booths. You'll also find a food hall as soon as you walk out of the port and a farmers markets on select days. read more
We were sailing on the Disney Magic last week. This was our first time to Charlottetown (and the first time for Disney Cruise Line as well). We arrived here for the day on Tuesday, October 24, 2017. The weather for the day was amazing. Temperatures were roughly 20 degrees above normal, with a high of 71 degrees for the day (the low temperature was 52 degrees, which is warmer than the average high for the time of year of 50 degrees), and it was partly cloudy to mostly sunny all day, except for the fog at the beginning of the day when we were docking. This location is on Atlantic time, so it is one hour ahead of U.S. Eastern time. Due to the morning fog, it put us about an hour behind for the day. It was all good though, as our all aboard time was pushed back an hour, making up for the delay. This is not a very big port, but it isn't surprising since the population for the island is around 35,000. There are plenty of indoor shops inside the terminal. For excursions, it was laid out nicely, as we went into the terminal and they had a very good flow to get to the buses for the tours. They were regular coach buses, not the small sardine packed buses you would see in the Caribbean. After the excursion was completed in the afternoon, we had about 20 minutes to look around the shops in the port, as well as take a few photo opportunities before having to get back on board before leaving port. While in the shops, I found out that our ship was the last of the large ships for the season, so many items in the port were deeply discounted. After going through there quickly, I went out to get a photo of the sugar maple leaf (the symbol for the Canadian flag). After that, the ship blew the horn for all aboard, so that was the end of our day in Charlottetown. Overall, the port was beautiful and the people here are genuine and friendly. You don't have anyone begging you to buy something from them like you see commonly in the Caribbean. It was really nice to see the port as we were sailing away, as the entire port area was filled with residents waving us out of port. I've never seen that many people out there leaving any of the ports I have done in the past. If you're looking for a different place to visit, this is definitely a place to visit. The leaves were beautiful as they were getting close to peak leaf colors (a few weeks behind actually due to the warmer weather). Overall, there was great scenery and the place wasn't overcrowded with traffic. There is quite a bit of open space to come and explore. read more
