  1. I am SO stuck!!!!! Perhaps someone can weigh in on their experience? In Flam we have this tour booked (July - Celebrity) Destination Highlight: Fjord, Valley and Mountain by Land and Sea Discover the beauty and wonder of Norway's one-of-a-kind fjords over water and land; later, relax and enjoy refreshments in the comfort of a mountain hotel. A fjord is any deep-cut glacial valley, often featuring steep mountain slopes or cliffs. You'll take a cruise through the Aurlandsfjord and into the Naeroydalen, which was recognized in 2005 by UNESCO for its wondrous beauty and geological treasures. Your boat will take you past steep mountainsides, beautiful waterfalls, and narrow fjord passages. You'll arrive at the breathtaking Gudvangen, which means playground of the gods. Here, you'll board your coach for a thrilling ride along Naeroy Valley's steep curving mountain road. Your coach will negotiate 13 heart-pounding curves, passing through tunnels and beside waterfalls. Stop for refreshments at Stalheim Hotel, where you'll enjoy unparalleled views of the valley below. Return along a winding road through the Naeroy Valley floor, passing through two, long, exhilarating tunnels. Highlights Enjoy a relaxing sail into the Naeroyfjord–a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site–traveling past waterfalls and thrilling mountain precipices. Journey up narrow mountain roads, beside spectacular waterfalls and steep mountainsides, as you drive into the dramatic Naeroydalen Valley. Savor coffee, tea, and a pastry while enjoying stunning mountain views at the relaxing and beautiful Stalheim Hotel. We also have a boat cruise in Stavanger - Lysefjord cruise this sailing Do we stick with what we have above in Flam or switch to the FLAM railway to Myrdal return? I am reading mixed reviews on the train ... THANK YOU!
  2. Anyone recently taken a taxi from BCN airport to the hotels ( H10 Madison ) and from hotels to cruise port ? Debating between booking private transfer or just taking a cab. Any idea of costs would be much appreciated also!

  4. I have searched and read many reviews.... is the steakhouse that poor? So disappointing... 😞
  5. Thank you … I decided to keep to what we have. I looked at the YouTube videos and was a bit underwhelmed so we’ll proceed as planned. Thanks for your feedback
  6. Yes I watched a YouTube video of the train and thought that too … I tried to book a late morning train independently but I guess other cruisers beat me to it and the one open still gets me back at 2:30. Not enough wiggle room …
  7. Thanks for your reply Well our time has been cut short and we now leave at 3 pm due to the reduced speed in effect … Our booked tour is - You'll take a cruise through the Aurlandsfjord and into the Naeroydalen, which was recognized in 2005 by UNESCO for its wondrous beauty and geological treasures. Your boat will take you past steep mountainsides, beautiful waterfalls, and narrow fjord passages. You'll arrive at the breathtaking Gudvangen, which means playground of the gods. Here, you'll board your coach for a thrilling ride along Naeroy Valley's steep curving mountain road. Not sure about that last bit …😮 I guess I am questioning myself because we do boat tours in 2 other ports ..
  8. Anyone already done Flam in Norway ? I’m torn between 2 tours 1 on land and water ( do have a couple of other ones booked on water in other fjords) 1 doing the Flam railway Any suggestions appreciated ?
  9. A real shot in the dark here but perhaps someone has done a crossing in mid-to late March? Not a clue what to pack weather wise - this isn't with Cunard but rather Regent SS from Sth America to Portugal My thanks!!
  10. I understand the 'real' is their currency ... credit cards widely accepted. Going to a few ports - so I am thinking a smaller amount for taxis - markets - cafes and such suffices ? Appreciate any tips from those that have been ? Many thanks
  11. Sailing is in March 24- anyone done a Transatlantic at this time of year and have any idea what to expect weather wise? I am sure tough to generalize .. What to pack is the thing! Thank you
  12. Anyone have experience on what is best currency to take? One site said Euro but they have not been under Portugal since 75 so I can't see that. Escudo is suggested .. is this necessary to take? Assuming credit cards also fine but for smaller purchases what is better? THANKS!
  13. My July 8 sailing has been affected also - I am hearing stabilizer issues 🤷‍♀️
  14. Anyone know if and why there is an age restriction to dine in this restaurant ? Thanks!
  15. I called again re booking specialty dining - seems the Sun isn't yet set up for it in Cruise Planner ... Hopefully, 3rd time is a charm and it's the right answer!!!
  16. Ok next question! Never had so many probs as this time with cruise planner 😡 When can dining be booked? Pricess advised last week after final payment so made that ahead of it's due date. Still cannot book. Just called again and was told 3-4 weeks prior to sail date. So frustrating. Also- requesting the medallions for our party - they tell me they can request in cruise planner now but they don't ship until approx 12 days prior to sailing. They're coming to Canada, that seems tight. No? Thank you again!
  17. It's already purchased at time of booking - but I can't see mention of it anywhere. Sorry , I wasn't clear
  18. Anyone help direct me to where I can see I do in fact have the Premier Add on in the app or CP? Cannot find it !! Arghhhh Thank you!
  19. Hmm same sailing but just booked today ...
  20. Anyone have an idea of the hotels Regent use in Rio ? They're advising TBD but wondering who may be on their rotation ... Thanks!
