I booked the shore excursion to the Fortress of Louisburg in New Brunswick. The day was rainy with 50 mph winds. But they did not cancel the shore excursion. It turns out that Louisbug is often windy and rainy. This makes for a yucky shore excursion, even though I was dressed for the weather in a rubber long raincoat and warm clothing underneath.
Louisberg fortress is mostly an outdoor tour as it has many outer buildings. Walking in the rain/wind is tricky. While the buildings are dry inside they are NOT heated so you will not get warm. A lot of passengers went back to the bus to get warm.
There is a lot of history in each of the buildings and I would recommend seeing this fortress but only in good weather due to the amount of walking involved outdoors.
Tips
- wear a heavy duty rain coat. You will not be able to use an umbrella with the winds.
- wear several layers of clothing under the raincoat and gloves... I was there in early September and it was really cold.
- There is only one coffee shop and the coffees start at 4.50 can ...expensive. So bring water or a drink with you
Did I enjoy this shore excursion - not really as the weather made it impossible to enjoy.
Hope this helps
Marcia
