October is busiest cruise month for PEI's Charlottetown

Nineteen calls are expected in October.

And this year the season stretches into November with two visits by Royal Caribbean International's Legend of the Seas, on Nov. 1 and 6.

After a strong summer for cruising, 'it is encouraging to see the ships filling up the fall months for local businesses,' said Stan MacPherson, chair of the Charlottetown Harbour Authority. 'While the traditional tourism season is winding down, cruise passengers continue to fill the downtown core and create a buzz around the city.'

The ship schedule is here.
