Hi all;
I'll be on a cruise in about 2 months, with a stop in Halifax. Obviously, the Titanic cemeteries are at the top of my list. Any advice from those who've been there before?
First question....the shore excursion organized by the cruise line only stops at Fairview Lawn. Should I take the time and explore on my own, visiting all three cemeteries?
If I do go on my own, what's the best way to get around Halifax?
Second....I understand Baron de Hirsch is a private cemetery. Has anyone managed to visit there?
(A 2003 post mentions an entrance "at the back along the fence". Anyone tried this?)
Last....how much time does a shore excursion spend at Fairview Lawn?
Thanks very much.
Larry
