Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. It's a flat walk at Termini, but it was pretty far. The platform for the Civi train was one of the last ones, so give yourself plenty of time to get there. When we got off the train in Civi we were on the street side, so that was easy. There are buses, shuttles, and taxis at the train station that will take you to the port...I don't remember if they were $4 or $6 per person, but we opted to walk thinking it was close, but it was really far, especially with luggage. I don't recommend it. We took the shuttle to the train after the cruise. Leaving Civi the train we needed was on the far side of the station, but there was an elevator to go down to a walkway underneath to get to the correct platform.
  2. There definitely are morning trains because we took one two weeks ago from Termini to Civi. I think they left around every 30 minutes. We had to be out of our Airbnb at 10, and from there we took an Uber to the train station, got our tickets, and made the 10:42 train. I think the next was at 11:12 or something like that.
  3. I've read on here to download the app before we get there, which I've done. If we have the guided tour do I need to download the audio guide that's in the app, or will the tour cover everything that's in the audio guide?
  4. Thanks, @edinburgher! Now that you mention the sail-in I remember reading somewhere that it's quite a sight to see, so I appreciate the reminder!
  5. Someone sailing on the Grandiosa a few weeks ago graciously posted bar menus for me when my husband and I were deciding which drink package to get. She shared this picture from one of the bar menus, but from what I could tell they were the same at all the bars.
  6. Our Mediterranean cruise has a stop in Valletta, Malta, and we were wondering about doing a boat tour of some sort. It's in mid-March so I'm not sure it would be warm enough for a snorkeling/swimming type tour so more of a tour where we'd see Malta from the water. Curious if anyone has a recommendation for one they've done and enjoyed? Also would we need to book one before we go, or are there ones you can just walk on once you're there?
  7. How funny, I had just said to my husband this morning that I wondered if our only breakfast option would be the buffet on our upcoming Med cruise. Good to know!
  8. I can't find it in my YouTube history, but I know I watched a video where the woman showed the main dining room menu each night. Maybe try searching there?
  9. They're getting to go to Europe and on a Mediterranean cruise for spring break as teenagers...I don't feel bad for them that they aren't in business class with us! I've never had a problem booking code share seats on other airlines, so I was surprised this was giving me trouble. Thanks for being judgmental instead of helpful though.
  10. We're flying on ITA from MIA to FCO in March. My husband and I are in business class, and our kids are in regular seating (they're 14 and 17). My husband and I have seat assignments, but we can't seem to add seats for the kids on their website. Some seats are taken, so I presume there's a way to do it. My husband tried calling yesterday and was told that you can only reserve seats 24 hours before the flight, but since some seats are occupied already we wonder if the person he spoke with was wrong. Should we just try again and hope we get someone that knows how to do it? We booked through Delta, and Delta said we have to do seats through ITA. We are using the ITA confirmation number, not the Delta. When I try to do it online, this error message comes up which has to be something wrong with their website:
  11. Oh, thanks! I didn't realize there was a board for that...I'll repost there. Yes, it is a codeshare, and we have both booking numbers, but I keep getting that error I included in my post. I can pull up the flight, I just get that error when I try to do anything.

  13. ATL and DFW are two airports that I will never have less than an hour layover...I don't know why they even suggest flights with short layovers at either of those airports.
  14. Hi all, I was wondering what time we should expect to be kicked off the ship on our disembarking day. 🙂 This is our first time on a cruise where people get on/off at each stop, so I wasn't sure how it worked compared to everyone embarking and disembarking at the same time. Our embarkation city is Rome if that makes a difference.
  15. I've been curious about this, too, if there are any testing requirements required before boarding. Our cruise is in March, and I'd rather not waste precious pre-cruise time in Rome having to get covid tests done. I wonder if it says in the check-in documents anywhere. I haven't done mine yet as I'm waiting on my passport renewal. Semi-related, are masks still required anywhere in Europe?
