  1. Skjolden: I remember looking for excursions there (Tour to Jostedalbreen Jotunsheimen, Urnes Church, Feigumfossen) and we tried to contact a touroperator (turidvisitskjolden@gmail.com) by email and telephone. Finally we got the first answer from a business partner of the touroperator after 4 or 5 weeks.. Reason for not anwering: they have other jobs in wintertime and most (of the few!) inhabitants have a very bad/irregular internet connection or are on holidays themselves. Covid was the reason we would not cruise at all and we had to cancel the tour (cancelling caused no problems at all). If we will visit Skjolden during another cruise, I will not hesitate to contact them again....
  2. Pastoorstraat 18, Arnhem and Derde Walstraat 83, Nijmegen, Fandm.nl or Wolvenstraat 7, Amsterdam, Lauradols.nl or Bilderdijkstraat 194, Amsterdam, and Haarlemmerdijk 143, Amsterdam, and Grote Houtstraat 160, Haarlem, Jutkaenriska.com IJsclubstraat 13, Rotterdam, and Moskesweg 2, Breda, Fleursdepot.nl or Nijverheidsweg-Noord 74, Amersfoort, Vintamersfoort.nl I did not visit them myself, but I found the addresses in a newsletter of a respected dutch company (dutch railways: Nederlandse Spoorwegen). Maybe.....
  3. If I understand your question well, you would like to know where the shuttle from the cruise terminal to town drops the passengers? My answer for Rotterdam would be: cruise terminal in Rotterdam is so close to the town center that I cannot imagine a shuttle will be offered.
  4. https://sagradafamilia.org/en/rules-and-regulations For safety, no hats are allowed inside the nave or the museum except for religious, health or belief-related reasons. Visitors may not enter barefoot. As it is a Catholic church, visitors must dress appropriately, following these restrictions: No see-through clothing. Trousers and skirts must come down to at least mid-thigh. Visitors may not enter in swimwear. Visitors will not be allowed to enter wearing special clothing to celebrate any sort of festivities, nor with any decorations designed to distract or draw attention for artistic, religious, promotional or any other purposes.
  5. 3 cruises on ms. Rotterdam VII in 2022. And the answer to your question is: None
  6. Yes, it is. Delicious (but for me without the onions).
  7. https://flycovidtestcenter.com/en/barcelona-t1/ Barcelona Airport (Terminal 1) . Euro 50 for an antigen test.
  8. Please read https://petit-train-marseille.com/en/circuits/1-notre-dame-de-la-garde/ and maybe download the leaflets. I translate the french text on the lower part of that page: Departure 10 AM untill 12.20 and from13:40 PM to 19:20 All days of the week Departure about every 20 minutes Departure for the return trip from Notre-Dame de la Garde every 20 minutes Obligation to stop at least 20 minutes for all passengers at Notre-Dame de la Garde and return by next train Return trip incl a stop of 20 minutes takes about 75 minutes The train leaves at the Old Port of Marseille (nice!) (in French: Le Vieux Port). See for that part a plan of Marseille on this page :https://petit-train-marseille.com/fr/contact-reservation/
  9. Book the moment after we decided. Interesting excursions too often sold out.
  10. Too much work for $ 50......
  11. Maybe you can use it for a transfer to or from the ship?
  12. Amsterdam-Hamburg May 6th 11:00-16:14 with one change in Osnabrück, incl seat reservation NON-flex € 32,90. return at May 28th 11:45 € 38,90 via NSInternational.com (Dutch railways). Trainline offers the same trains for resp € 32,90 and € 34,90 plus in both cases € 4,50 per seat reservation.
  13. Tours by Locals guide Kenji did a very good job in guiding us through Tokyo. But it was in 2017, so I really donot know whether Mr Kenji is still working through Tours by Locals.
  14. Official website of the Tourist Office of Marseille (marseille-tourisme.com) and search for le petit train and the result is...€ 9 per adult, by clicking on photo of the train I found this page where you can book ahead: Notre Dame de la Garde Tour (Marseille) | Marseille Tourism (marseille-tourisme.com) Pity it doesnot work as a link. 😉 Cheers, Lenny
  15. Museum and Aquarium just accross from the quay (at least our HALship docked there). Our grandchildren, parents and we as grandparents loved it.
  16. minimum about 57,2 F and max about 75.2 F. Donot forget to pack a light woolen sweater, just in case....
  17. I love wuite a few of the suggestions I read above. Just one advice if walking is a problem: take the tourist train www.petit-train-marseille.com DONOT take the (HoHo or 60 bus) to the basilica Notre Dame de la Garde with the fantastic panorama over sea and town and it itself worth a visit. WHy? from the stop of the bus it is a steep (!) 1km walk (stone steps...) to the highest point above Marseille.
  18. In addition to @gumshoe958Train costs about € 6 per person.
  19. https://ovpay.nl/en Paying with debet or credit card in NL for public transportation.
  20. Just looked for the price of a taxi from Marriott to Cruise Terminal Rotterdam on June 11th.... € 40 (wheelchair if foldable in the boot) a 6 minutes drive. But you mention walking from the Centraal Station Rotterdam to the hotel. If that is possible, it must also be possible IMO to walk next morning from the hotel to the Metro station next to Centraal Station and go with the Metro to the Terminal? See www.9292.nl (choose uour language) for public transportation in our country and choose the addresses of hotel and Terminal (and method of transportation with the wheelchair!). Result for the Metro on a Sunday (June 11th not available yet) departure Marriott to Metro Centraal Station for a 7 minutes walk, go to "Perron 2" and take Metro E direction Slinge (or perron 3 Metro D direction De Akkers), Leave metro after 6 minutes (3 stops) at station Wilhelminaplein and walk 10 minutes to the Cruise Terminal entrance. The price will be a few € per person and can since a few weeks easily be paid with a debet or credit card upon entrance of the Metro station. How does it work: SeeOVpay | Check in en uit met je betaalpas of creditcard and choose the english flag on top left. Donot forget to check-out. Enjoy your stay in Rotterdam and your cruise!
  21. HAL transfer airport-cruise terminal is offered normally on the day of embarkation. So not suitabal IMO for @BeadyEl.
  22. Seeing the 1st picture I thought that it had to be Stavanger.....Those castles ruin the whole view (of inhabitants and passengers) of this very very nice part of the town. I once visited on Rotterdam VI and we were (luckily) just behind this part of town, but also behind a huge cruiseship. One of their british pasengers saw us looking in awe and commented that he was very ashamed being a passenger of that ship....
  23. Last year in May or June they asked us to call again in August for a reservation in September... And...the fish is 😋
  24. Hotel New York, former HQ of Holland Amerika Lijn, just accross the street of the Rotterdam Cruise terminal and at 6 minutes walk from a metro station. https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotel_New_York_(Rotterdam) and https://hotelnewyork.com/ or maybe a room in the ss Rotterdam V? Quite nearby and they offer shuttles to the embarkation location https://ssrotterdam.nl/ Or, at a special historical location too: Hotel Pincoffs - The no.1 boutique hotel in Rotterdam > Enjoy Rotterdam and your cruise!
