Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. We used luggage forwarding to Seattle last year and it was great. They picked it up on time and dropped it off at the agreed time. We thought we would use them again for a cruise out of Iceland and was shocked by the price. The price was more than flying first class, which we ended up doing.
  2. Second the Marriott Waterfront. We also use Century car service from the airport to the hotel / port.
  3. Space X does have a satellite tracking program that you can enter your position via lat / longs and it will give you your coverage for that area. We found that program useful on a Seaborn trip to Greenland / Iceland.
  4. Holland America Line earns certification for responsible fish sourcing in Alaska From Travel Weekly On a typical Alaska cruise, Holland America Line said it serves more than 2,000 pounds of Alaska salmon, 1,000 pounds of Alaska cod, 800 pounds of Alaska halibut and 500 pounds of Alaska rockfish. HAL has pledged to buy and serve only local, sustainable, fresh seafood on its Alaska cruises. The line said it is the first cruise line to obtain that distinction from Responsible Fisheries Management
  5. The Swarovski binoculars on the Venture were the same quality of the Ziess we usually travel with.
  6. We recently did a Christmas cruise on the Discovery and had a fantastic meal at the Crown Grill. I thought the $42 per person was a steal. We regularly have dinner at Kreg’s chophouse or Charley’s in Orlando and I consider myself fortunate if we can get out for $100 pp. With everything going up $63 is still a steal for a good steak.
  7. We used Crown car service from the airport to the cruise port, as usual the service was fantastic. Unfortunately my wife talked me into using Princess bus service after our December cruise to the airport. Raining like crazy, no signage, very unorganized we finally made it to the bus. Never again.
  8. There is a text when I take my phone out of airplane mode with the driver notifying me that they are close to the airport. After collecting out luggage we text the driver our jacket color ( bright windbreaker work best) and the door number we will be waiting at. Pickup is usually not more than 5 minutes. I have been using them for years and have not had a bad experience both for business and pleasure.
  9. We did a Greenland / Iceland cruise last year on the Venture and sprung for the top tier wireless package. i did not have any problems with my VPN. I did find that Wireguard was a bit faster than OpenVpn.
  10. Ditto on the Swarovski binoculars. They pair well with our Ziess.
  11. I remember some of the tea was from South Africa- typically found at Woolworths.
  12. Ziess- not cheap knockoffs😂 i have noticed that most ship bridges use Steiner Commanders. Seaborn expedition ship do provide Swarovski binoculars in each cabin. Cheers
  13. Every cruise we take Ziess 10x42 binoculars. On Alaska cruises we also put in the Vortex 8x42 viper binoculars. Cheers
  14. It was only offered on sea-days. Not sure what the reasoning was for it, but it was well attended. We also like to plan our days around afternoon tea. Cheers
