Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Good luck in your quest for that perfect shot of Mt.Fuji. I was fortunate to get several with no clouds. However, my favorite was by accident. We had arrived in Tokyo after a day flying. We were tired, but still on Florida time. We woke up way early as Dawn was breaking. Opening the curtains, I couldn’t believe it.From our hotel room, we saw Mt.Fuji clear as day, as well as Tokyo including the Tokyo Tower. To see it from Tokyo is a rare sight indeed.
  2. I can only speak for my TA, but if I cancel,or change a cruise, they want it in writing by email. They then sent me an adjusted invoice with the details. Not lecturing, as I’ve made my share of mistakes, just a FYI for others.
  3. Actually, with the exception of the Grand Canyon, probably not. We had our land adventures for 40 years. The last 10 we’ve been taking long exotic cruises, it TA’s. One ship stopped at Myanmar for 3 days. Amazing country, but might not be inclined to stay there in a hotel. Antarctica is amazing, but no options to stay on land for awhile. Bottom line, as long as we stay healthy we’re cruising.
  4. We all cruise for different reasons, but some like myself,like being at sea. The more sea days the better. Wouldn’t be interested at all in a land based vacation
  5. Wow! This is unbelievable, and they’ve just found out about this now ? All for a photo op. I’m sure everyone will be up on deck at 06:15. Also, will you still have to vacate your room by 8 ? Definitely not acceptable
  6. I had the room with the shower and tub ( not our choice) on a 32 day cruise on Nova in October/ November. Don’t expect the shower to be spacious, because IMHO it wasn’t. I had a prior post on this. We wouldn’t want that room again.
  7. I was on the Nova for 32 days in November, so I can only answer about then. As a beer aficionado I was disappointed. Definitely, no tap beer, no IPA’s, and no local beers in the SALT bar which was a surprise as they usually stock local beers. I asked the F&B manager and he said we’ll try and get some before the TA. The bartender and server at SALT bar were frustrated too. Perhaps in the states they were able to order a greater variety. I did survive though, and had a great trip.
  8. Plus on Amex Platinum, $200 annual airline credit, OBC on Oceania and other lines. Last year on Silversea we got a $300 OBC, and a bottle of DomPerignon , by using the card to book. To us it’s worth it, and we always get enough perks for it to pay for itself, and more. It may not be for everyone, but it works for us.
  9. Yea !!! Enjoy the voyage ! Now you can totally sit back and relax
  10. We did it in April of 22 from Rome to Orlando. They booked us on American Airlines to Charlotte on a mid morning non stop, and on to Orlando with a short layover.
  11. Terry, you finally made it ! It is great to see both you and spouse enjoying India. I’m sure your cruise will go well too. Enjoy your well deserved trip!
