South Coast or Golden Circle from Reykjavik
Nitemare replied to Tbird1969's topic in Iceland and Greenland
Jokulsarlon is amazing. But a one day trip to there and back is SO much bus time! And you pass by glaciers and national parks and waterfalls and other gorgeous things There are great South Coast 1 day tours that don't drive all the way to the lagoon that I would recommend over a Jokulsarlon trip. And the Golden Circle is terrific. -
You can Uber anywhere. You can also take MBTA Commuter Rail or a Ferry boat from Boston to Salem. You can walk as little or as much as you want in Salem. Which museum are you referring to? Salem has more than one! The PEM is the best one, IMHO

Flybus from Skarfabakki cruise terminal to KEF airport
Nitemare replied to Junk man's topic in Iceland and Greenland
You climb down 2 or 3 steps and climb up 2 or 3 steps. They will help with luggage if you need assistance. -
Aim to arrive 4-5 hours before sailing. There aren't going to be any traffic problems that tie you up that long. And if something like that DID happen, there will be a ton of people missing the ship, they won't leave.

Chelsea hotels are often cheaper and many have airport shuttles. Not many attractions right there, but you are close to public transit

Reasonable time for a flight out of New York
Nitemare replied to cruisernh's topic in East Coast Departures
Which terminal matters. New Jersey would be much easier than Brooklyn -
There are a couple helicopter tour companies. I'm sure one of them can arrange something for you for the right price

Djupivogur & Heimaey, Westman Islands shore excursions
Nitemare replied to Maple30's topic in Iceland and Greenland
I wouldn't be surprised if fellow cruisers had booked them all in advance. They cancel when it's windy -
Taxi or Uber is likely going to be much cheaper than the Princess transfers. Especially if you have more than 2 passengers. They will charge you $X * 4 for their bus, the Uber/cab costs the same for 1, 2, 3, or 4 people.

Djupivogur & Heimaey, Westman Islands shore excursions
Nitemare replied to Maple30's topic in Iceland and Greenland
Heimey has some great RIB boat excursions you should be able to book directly. They cancel them in bad weather -- we had wind on our day there a few years back and all tours were canceled (as was our ferry back to the mainland), but we were there in September and it gets windy in Iceland around that time. We had a car and explored the island, loved it, but the RIB boat would have been a blast -
Hundreds of reviews here: https://www.show-score.com/broadway-shows/hadestown-broadway You will get much more info from a site like that then just a few replies here. IE: @George C liked it. I didn't like it. My wife thought it was ok. But Show Score gives you more info, like things to compare it to. Casts change, too, so my experience may be quite different than yours. For instance, we LOVED Hamilton almost every time we saw it. But one time we attended, the actor playing Hamilton didn't have the same charisma, so we didn't think it was as good.

Reykjavik City Center transfer to Cruise Port
Nitemare replied to mi3stooges's topic in Iceland and Greenland
Me, I'd walk it. Of course if you have too much luggage that's out, but your best alternative is a taxi. You could check www.straeto.is which is the public bus service to see if they cover your route. You'd need their app or cash to pay, I believe -
Jack is right. July has daylight for 24 hours. Anything erupting now will likely be done before July. And another one may or may not be going off during your visit. I wouldn't book anything volcano related more than a week ahead of time.

Usually runs $125-$150, per reports on TripAdvisor. No tipping in Iceland, you pay the metered fare
-
If we are talking Reykjavik, there are taxis, but the Flybus is usually a much better price, unless you are more than 3 people

Baltimore Tragedy: Collapse of Francis Scott Key Bridge
Nitemare replied to Airbear232's topic in East Coast Departures
This kind of "I don't know anything but what if" questions is what ends up going nowhere positive. According to folks who KNOW things, the current theory is that the ship lost power, which means it loses navigation. Things do break, even though they are tested all the time -
Baltimore Tragedy: Collapse of Francis Scott Key Bridge
Nitemare replied to Airbear232's topic in East Coast Departures
Power issue with the ship seems to be what happened. Pieces of garbage political talkers are blaming everything else they can think of, instead. -
The suggestion was not for an Official site but one of the local companies off site options

Akureyri, The Diamond Circle excursion
Nitemare replied to 2cruisecats's topic in Iceland and Greenland
Can you link to a description? There *are* some harder hikes in the area, depending on what is included, but it can also be a very sedate tour -
This is a good site to get an idea about shows https://www.show-score.com/ Has all the professional reviews plus individuals review shows and you get nice summaries of what they are about

Hotel recommendation? Where is the uber at the airport?
Nitemare replied to Minuet888's topic in East Coast Departures
yes. Which airport. What city? -
This is true, but I think since they are leaving a car for a week it isn't a rental, no one parks a rental in a lot for a week. Do they?
-
Use SpotHero or your favorite parking app to find the best priced parking option that won't be hard to get back to your car from the port If you are touring Boston from away, you don't want or need a rental car in the city

Boston city tour with airport drop off
Nitemare replied to Grandmaanne7's topic in East Coast Departures
I'd just tour on my own, it's an easy city to get around in. Get downtown, use any of the online luggage storage services, or offer a bellman at a hotel a nice tip to store all your bags. You can also buy a ticket on the Rowes Wharf Ferry that goes to the airport and they will hold your bags all day for you included in the fare- 1 reply
