My husband and I are intrigued by the ferry. We get the part about only paying PEI-NS.....what we’re not sure about is the reservation part going NS-PEI and possibly not getting on the ferry. The length of our 5th wheel and truck when hooked up is 57’ nose to tail....and wondering how hard it would be to get on the ferry without a reservation. My husband’s concern was being in line, not getting on, and then having getting out of line....
From what I just read, if you're taking the ferry ONE WAY, they don't take reservation.....First come, first served.
And here's a question someone asked and the answer to it>
Question:
I travelled to Prince Edward Island from Nova Scotia via the ferry and will be departing the Island via the Confederation Bridge. Where do I pay my fare for the ferry crossing?
Answer:
Like Confederation Bridge, ferry fares are calculated for a round-trip and collected only when departing Prince Edward Island. Visitors who arrive on PEI via the ferry and depart via the Confederation Bridge will pay the bridge toll only, a savings of 40%* versus the alternative!
In conclusion, I have to say the eight mile long bridge is mind blowing when you think of how they built it over the ocean, plus you have the welcome center once you arrive in PEI.
