Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Just the info I was looking for - we sail DCL Dream on 10/27 and was getting the same message online about no reservations. This will be our 5th time sailing out of NYC and we never had reservations before and no trouble parking. We have a very early PAT, so I'm hoping we will be fine since we will arrive fairly early.
  2. Do they generally take Apple Pay? (Which is so much easer than using a card or cash.)
  3. We will be porting in Rotterdam in August and do not enjoy group tours. We would like to walk about, have a nice non-touristy meal and visit a museum or two. We are also fond of gardens, architecture and street art. 2 vegetarians n our party. Any recommendations, tips or warnings? I'm reading Rotterdam is very walkable, would you agree?
  4. Whoops - I thought I was there! Thank you.

  6. We will be porting in Stavanger, Nordfjordeid and Skjolden. We have a rental car in the first 2 ports and plan to go hike. No rental cars in Skjolden, so we are pedestrians. I see a few trails that are accessible from the town. Anyone have experience/recommendations? (Group excursions are not our thing.) Our ports changed and now we have Skjolden and no car. 😞
  7. Has anyone found a rental car in Skjolden? Our ports just changed, and we do not like ship excursions. Having trouble finding a rental for ths port.
  8. I found this map and write-up. Stavanger Street Art Guide: artists, murals, and the story behind them (blocal-travel.com)
  9. Does anyone have experience/recommendations for rental cars/companies in the following Norwegian ports: Skjolden Nordfjordeid Sandnes We will be there middle of August 2023. Thanks! Kathi
  10. If you want some relaxation - this place looks awesome. We will be going there in August. Forestlagoon
  11. We will be visiting in August and are staying at the Stracta Hotel in a 1-bedroom apartment. It's not a luxury accommodation, but it looks comfortable, spacious and has a private hot tub. Stracta Hotel in South Iceland (stractahotels.is) The hotel Vik might be an option. Welcome | Stay in Vík (stayinvik.is) Hotels book up fast, so I wouldn't wait. They all have great cancellation policies.
  12. Thanks - I'm on the Fantasy, which is always Havensight. So hard to know what to do...which sometimes causes us to just stay on the ship.
  13. Not sure what dock except the one I'm on - but it seems like a lot of ships.
  14. There are 4 ships in port, so Megan's is out and Sapphire, although beautiful has always been too rough for us in the past (and now it's also a cruise ship excursion stop). So, I'm looking for a place that isn't too far from Havensight, has decent swimming and amenities (chairs & restrooms a must, food/drinks would be nice). So - I'm thinking about Emerald. It is right next to the airport, which is not ideal, but it seems to fit our other requirements. (We will be in Tortola the day before and will go to Cane Bay Beach.) Has anyone been there recently and can provide intel? Anyone feel strongly pro or con about it? Thanks - we sail this Saturday! Kathi
  15. Sailing to Bermuda for the first time at the end of the month. We like to do things on our own. Generally, that means hiking, eating or going to the beach. Any suggestions? I would like to avoid long bus/van drives as I am sensitive to that motion. Are there things to walk to from the dock? Looks like taking the ferry to Hamilton will open up more opportunities. Any advice/suggestions would be very welcomed. Kathi
