Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. You bring up an interesting point. We’re cruising B2B2B on Reflection in the fall. Could I bring 12 bottles (4 bottles per week) and pick up the next 4 bottles after week1? Really not planning on leaving the ship during the turnaround except maybe for laundry and wine. With the wine covered I could have ship do laundry
  2. John Kingston past connection with the Gaylord Opryland Hotel & Convention Center in Nashville might explain why AQV is using that hotel for it's Nashville departure this July. IMO Opryland is a bad choice for a Nashville Cruise. Downtown Nashville is a better tourist destination and would put us in a great entertainment district. The Opryland choice might be great for business relations but I think it leaves the passengers stranded.
  3. Maybe you haven't been there in awhile. The polite "No Gracias" often doesn't work and if it does your next step brings you to another and the same abuse all over again. For us, a senior citizen tourist couple, the constant barrage prevented us from appreciating the Old City or relaxing and enjoy the Square.
  4. Just got back from Cartagena and took Dora's Tour. I didn't see any effort on her part to keep back the Vendors. The Vendors in Caragena where the most aggressive and intimidating of all the ports we've been to. We were disappointed with the City and would recommend a tour that avoids any of the Old City areas. We weren't the only guests who complained about Vendors. Dora was nice but don't book her if you think she'll protect you from aggressive vendors. She was twice as expensive as the guys standing outside the port JMTC
  5. Too late for us, we're going on Celebrity thru the Panama Canal instead. we had booked that AQV Cruise booked back in June 2021 and were looking forward to it, but they never really had much info on the ports or excursions, and expedition things that they had planned. My concern was that it's really a repositioning cruise and they are turning the ship over to another Vendor for it's Antarctic Cruise Season. With the labor shortage and supply chain issues, I envision some version, of end of the season, "I don't care I'm done in a week" kind of thing. The Free Airfare could be kind of nice the flights coming out of Costa Rica were kind of pricey or left too early. I look forward to some reviews
  6. Well things have really turned strange. American Queen cancelled cruise yesterday, I talked to a rep about a credit and they assured me they'd issue it. Now they call and say they didn't really want to cancel the trip and if I want to still go they'll give me shipboard credit. In the mean time, I spent yesterday finding a replacement cruise on Celebrity, San Diego to San Juan, booked and made first & final payment this morning. Now American Queen says 30 45 days before credit will be issued.
  7. Purchased it from the cruise line. I suspect my insurance contract explains it somewhere but I not sure if I have the patience to find it and read thru it, or understand what I'm reading, so I guess that's on me. AQV promised a complete refund of Cruise fair & Insurance. We'll see
  8. Ocean Victory Oct 4 San Diego to Costa Rica. I'm not surprised given the lack of answers I was getting about itinerary and activities. Now I've got pre & post hotel to cancel and misc stuff to unwind. I purchased trip insurance, anybody have an idea if that become refundable when the cruise get cancelled
  9. Maybe it’s my browser but I do not see a listing for Oct 2022. Wish they’d produce a simple calendar spreadsheet like listing of their sailings. It would make planning things a lot easier.
  10. So we are booked on the Ocean Victory October 3 2022 cruise San Diego to Costa Rica but can't find any information on excursions or Hop On Hop Off. Apparently this is kind of like a repositioning cruise, they are turning the boat over to another Cruise Company for Antarctic Cruise in the Fall of 2022. Talked to reservations at AQV and they had no info. Booked it in June 2021 because the itinerary looked interesting now I'm worried that it will not be a typical AQV trip Anybody got any additional info on this cruise? Patrick J Flavin
