How far is Holiday Inn Airport from the cruise terminal?
IHG puts YUL a 5-minute drive away and gives no distance to the port. Holland America puts YUL 21 km (13 miles) and about 30 minutes from the port, depending on traffic, and the Port of Montréal lists the airport's flat daytime taxi fare to the Grand Quay, C$49.45. In our ranking it's in the “By YUL” band. Montréal's cruise ships use the Grand Quay of the Port of Montréal in Old Montréal, across from the Pointe-à-Callière museum. Terminals 1 and 2 are at 200 rue de la Commune Ouest, per the Port, and Terminal 3 is at the Berri entrance, further east along the Old Port. The Port's schedule lists which terminal each ship uses, and your cruise documents settle it.
Can I check in early or check out late on cruise days?
Check-in is 3:00 PM and check-out 12:00 PM. The hotel doesn't publish early or late terms, so ask when you book, not on the day.
Will the hotel hold my bags?
The hotel doesn't say. Most hotels will hold bags between check-out and a late shuttle, but that's a call to make, not an assumption.
Does the port shuttle come back for me after the cruise?
There's no hotel shuttle to the port. From the Grand Quay it's a C$49.45 flat taxi to YUL by day, per the Port.
What's the breakfast timing on sail morning?
Not stated; the Cognac Restaurant serves breakfast. Plan coffee on the way if you're leaving early.
Can I park an oversized vehicle or charge an EV?
EV charging: on site, per the hotel. Clearance and oversized parking aren't published. The Grand Quay lot takes no trailers or motorhomes, per the Port, so an RV needs another plan; ask the Port.
