Reviews of Digby, Nova Scotia Terminal (Moving Company)

J Cline

Great food and very respectable prices for food on board the vessel. Staff is very friendly and helpful. I walked two kayaks on to deliver to customers in Digby. One of the shore staff insisted that he help my customers get the kayak on their car so I could return to the ferry for departure. Lounges are equipped to watch movies on the port side and news and sports on the starboard side. A small day care are is available on the prominade deck starboard side, midships. Trip length is roughly 2 hrs 15min. The trip is worth the cost. Who knows, you may even catch a glimpse of a whale or shark during the crossing.

They are very fast and reliable when boarding you or if you can't make it.

I've taken the ferry twice with my motorcycle. They provide lots of hold-downs so bikes are very secure. Great little restaurant for breakfast. Very reasonable. Saves an awful lot of driving. Smooth sailing, too. Price is very reasonable. Bathurst to Digby for scallops.

The terminal was nothing special but the Ferry was brand new (MV Fundy Rose). Plenty of seating with areas for watching TV, working, relaxing. There is even a special lounge for commercial truckers. Gift shop and food available.

This ferry from Saint John to Digby was an unforgettable experience. We loved the entire trip, got so lucky we even saw seals before departure!! We ordered a capuccino and an espresso and the capuccino was delicious!! All health/covid protocols are followed. Departure and arrival was smooth and on time. Very spacious and clean!

Wow!! My first time on such a large ferry - I was SO impressed! Everything worked like clock-work - the ferry depart exactly to the minute on time - there were staff everywhere instructing you on where to drive, where to park - I never felt anxious about driving my van onto the ferry, people were always there to help and direct. The sitting rooms, tv lounge, restaurant, cafe - all were top-rate. What a great experience!

Clean modern ferry. Nice 2 hour ride from digby to Saint John. Play area for the kids. Movie for the adults. Has a restaurant and 2 cafes. Staff is friendly.

2.5 hour, $100 ride, and they charge you $3 for water. Oh yeah & no power outlets. As others say, their loading/unloading logistics considering how big the boat is do seem very confusing and ad-hoc. But the people are friendly and I got their safely.

This passenger terminal convinces with friendly staff and boarding was done very quickly. The ferry left fifteen minutes earlier than scheduled, so make sure to be there at least one hour before the scheduled time of departure. The only thing that is missing nearby is a convenience store or a small restaurant. You should go downtown before your trip which is a ten-minute drive away or you can also eat and buy things on the ferry for overall reasonable prices.

Nonsensical boarding patterns. People who reserve a spot and arrive the required hour early are punished with the longest on and off boarding procedure. Not much seating, garbage disposal. Way less organized than the PEI crossing.

Amazing to get off a lovely three hour ferry ride onto Nova Scotia!

James Kyte

An arrival time 1h15m in advance of departure is now expected in comparison to 30 or 40m for the PEI ferries. This seems excessively conservative, rivaling the 1h30 suggested by the airport for domestic flights, where there are several more steps to go through and more opportunities for things to go wrong. Requiring that passengers arrive that far in advance makes the math around taking the ferry vs. driving around the bay much less compelling. Staff are fussy about this, too. Yesterday we mistakenly thought that "just" 1h was required. When we showed up with 55 minutes to spare, the walk-on passenger I dropped off was scolded by the shuttle driver. Keep in mind this passenger was not counting on occupying several square meters of a vehicle deck, just a chair, of which a fraction are typically occupied. It also only takes a couple of moments for the shuttle to drive the walk-ons from the parking lot on to the boat, so again the 1h15m cushion seems inexplicably long. I overheard the driver sternly telling someone else that the boat actually leaves well ahead of 5:30. Sure enough, Marine Traffic shows that it left at 5:17 and arrived in Saint John at 7:10, 35 minutes ahead of schedule. Not sure what the point of running so early is, but the schedule on the website should be updated to say 5:15 if that's the goal. Those who use the information online to arrange for pickup on the other end have a long wait after arriving so early. All around a baffling approach to scheduling.

Don't get here late!!! If you don't check-in ONE HOUR before departure, they will punish you by putting you on a waiting list without any guarantee you'll get on the boat (even when you already have tickets!). We were lucky we made it, but the stress created because we got there 15 min after check-in was unnecessary. We didn't have that experience at all in St-John.

Douglas Martin

Smooth and enjoyable ride from Digby to St. John. Very comfortable accommodations for passengers including food, seating and a gift shop. Clean with attractive, modern decor.

When we made our reservation and paid with a Rep directly on the phone, we notified them that we would have our dog with us, to ensure of proper costs and that that wouldn't be an issue. When we arrived, we were notified that no dogs are permitted on board. And the staff on site were quite strict about it, stating that the poor soul be left on board in the car (which was too hot to do so). If it's regulation for humans not be allowed in vehicles then why is it permitted for animals? How is that humane? The kennels aren't any better, still being in the same level by the cars where it is hot. I'm sick of humanity and them thinking we're above others. Had we known all this, I would've taken the extra drive to saint bloody john. Wasn't worth the $224.
