What dock or pier number does Celebrity usually use in Honolulu?  We would like to book a hotel that is located close to the ship. Since we are only staying one night, arriving late/leaving early, we just need a hotel that is safe, clean, comfortable and quiet. Any recommendations appreciated.  No beach is necessary. 

Thanks

We (two couples) did our first river cruise in early June on Uniworld, Budapest to Passau. We all loved it.

We also did three days in Prague on our own. We had a wonderful Prague guide, Nina, who picked us up in Passau, took us to Cesky Krumlov and then on to Prague for 2 more days of guided tours. Her husband drives the van. With all our luggage the van could comfortably accommodate 4 passengers so if your group is 6 the van would probably need to have a small trailer to carry the luggage.

This itinerary could work in reverse if you fly in to Prague. Check out ninapragueguide.com

Judging from what I read on Cruise Critic....Uniworld handled the low water problems much better than Viking.

ps. Nina has a PHD and speaks perfect English.

We took a cruise that ended in Passau and had our Prague guide pick us up at the dock, drive us to Cesky Krumlov and then on to Prague. Nina was a fantastic guide that we used for three days. Check out her website:

FWIW...its nearly a two hour bus ride, each way.

Here is the info on Nina, another fantastic guide in Prague. Check out her website ninapragueguide.com

Thanks for such a thoughtful and through response. I think we will just try to duplicate everything you did and everywhere you went....looking forward to a wonderful vacation.

We will have two full days before boarding the River Beatrice. We will be staying at the Hilton in the Buda Castle area. Do you remember what sites you went to with your guide, what sites you went to with the ship's tour, and what you did on your own? Your recommendation of a guide would be appreciated. Did you have a favorite restaurant?

I've checked out their website and already received a very thorough response to my email full of questions. I feel very comfortable using their services. Price quoted was 5570CZK for a minivan & 220 CZK per hour for waiting time in Cesky Krumlov.

We are a party of 4 traveling on Uniworld, departing Budapest on June 7,2015.

I will also be contacting Michaela. Your recommendations are sincerely appreciated.

Other than paying the driver directly for the time in Cesky Krumlov.... how and when did you pay Prague Airport Transfers?

I would also appreciate the information on your private guide.

Thanks so much,

Andy

Seeking recommendations for private car service going from Passau to Prague next June. We are a party of 4 and would like to make a 3-4 hour stop along the way in Cesky Krumlov.
