Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I'd like to hear specifically about the excursions that Viking offers on this itinerary, both the included and optional ones, and if there are better alternatives. Thanks!
  2. Hi Gr'aunt, Could you direct me to the detailed review that you mention here? And if the questions you asked were not personal, would you mind you sharing the answers you received? We're going on the Orion on the reverse route - Sydney to Aukland and look forward to gaining as much advance info on the ship and the cruise as possible. Thanks!
  3. I guess we could make this specific to Viking excursions.
  4. I recently read a very detailed excursion review for the Australia/New Zealand cruise and I thought it might be a good idea to start an excursion review thread. This poster gave the following information: Which cruise they were on City and Port Location Shuttle bus info, if applicable Public transportation info, if available Name of excursion and whether it was a Viking excursion, another company's excursion, or a DIY excursion Brief detail of the excursion and how they liked it. Would a thread like this work?
  5. We're looking at an 11-day Caribbean cruise on the Eclipse. We prefer a mid-ship cabin with a balcony, and only cabins above and below us. What are the best cabins with those parameters? Also what is the benefit of the Concierge class? Thank you!
  6. We're flying in from US to YVR. We'll go through customs there, so will we have to go through customs again at the port? We don't have a GOES card. We're staying at the Auberge Hotel on W. Hastings. Thought we'd just walk down to the port - Is this a good idea? We're not Elite/Platinum or Suite, so it will take us longer, I'm sure
  7. thermal - is that for when 3 ships are in port? Or do we need to add even more time?
  8. Thanks cr8tiv1 - We're departing on June 14 - THREE ships😵‍💫!!! We'll pack some patience!
  9. I've read that the port in Vancouver is REALLY crowded and busy. What time should we get there to be able to board by 11 or 11:30?
  10. Just got an email from Princess that says I need to select arrival time and confirm passage contract on medallion. When I open the app I see the QR code and it says to proceed to the green lane. I scroll down a bit to where there is a green check next to Passage Contract, and I click on that. There is a light gray check mark there. I try to click on it but it won't let me. What to do now? Where do I select arrival time?
  11. Thanks Rick and Jeannie - that's what I was afraid of. I use a special hair dryer (for thick, unmanageable hair - don't even ask!), so I need to use the hair dryer that I'm bringing.
  12. We will be in cabin C 515 (premium balcony) on the Sapphire. In order to use my own hair dryer in the bathroom, will I need an extension cord? If so, how long a cord should I bring?
  13. We're looking for a mid-ship cabin on the Silhouette. We've never been in a cabin with an upper bed. It's just going to be the two of us in the cabin and my husband is 6'2". Is this something that he could hit his head on?
  14. Thanks victoriaj! Glad to hear you had such a great time! It makes me even more excited for our cruise. Could you tell me if you went on any excursions in Juneau or Skagway? How did you like them?
