Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Being a vegetarian used to be challenging on HAL, but our last two cruises have been good in that regard, even on our last cruise where I wound up in COVID jail. We do fixed seating and make friends with our table stewards immediately. I've found they take goo care of us, even offering both the normal menu and the vegetarian menu and letting us order bits and pieces from both. I did find mousse on the vegetarian menu made with gelatin, so those little things miss them.
  2. If you can't find a wine under the $11 mark that appeals to your tastes that day, prosecco is always an option πŸ₯‚
  3. Frankly, if the weather is nice, there is a lovely pavilion where the ships dock and I'd eat there and watch the truly amusing characters on cruise ships.
  4. So that's the disadvantage to the Have It All package. Shore excursions were filling up fast, so I booked more before the cruise than I usually do. I was thinking the OBC from my TA could go to Crew Appreciation or whatever it is called this week. Otherwise, WiFi is in package, dining is in package, beverages are in package. Maybe we'll go to Canaletto...
  5. We were in Amsterdam in late August, early September 2019 and UGGs would have been way too warm most days. when we returned mid-September, they might have been good on rainy days, but not on bright sunny days.
  6. We booked using FlightEase for Rotterdam July 31. We fly in United, back Delta for KLM. We have seat assignments for all flights. I can't imagine how frustrating it must be.
  7. I though we booked quite early, late January for an August cruise, but the particular excursion we wanted in Reykjavik was already sold out. Bummer, because it was how we wanted to spend our 40th wedding anniversary, on the Golden Circle. Sigh...
  8. We took the HOHO with a free walking tour. We love these walking tours with locals who don't stick to a script. She talked about the pride they had in their female leader, in being independent for one of the few times in their history, shared he favorite foods and where to buy them, etc. there was one tall staircase that challenged me, but I made it and loved the views from the top. We had planned to take the HOHO back to the pier, but just walked it.
