Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I was about to post the same question. The difference between P2P and D2D for the cruise we are looking at (also our first Silversea cruise) is only $1,050. I haven't phoned to find out the cost for Business Class yet (which based on the distance we would be flying, would be a must). One additional question I have is can you fly in a few days before to spend extra time before boarding?
  2. I did manage to get Club Orange :). That info is very helpful. Normally we are happy with the MDR but our one time on the Koningsdam we weren't impressed, although that might have changed since this was a number of years ago and pre-pandemic. I think this is a great solution for our trip, especially since we have a lot of sea days.
  3. That sounds great. We are on the Koningsdam in April next year. I just added CO to our reservation. We are excited to try it.
  4. Hi, Yes I should have mentioned our cruise is on the Koningsdam. For me "prime" time would probably be 7:00pm. We have done open seating only twice on all of our cruises (only because our friends that were with us insisted 🙂 ) and based on that experience that seems when everyone would go to dinner. The one and only time we were on the Koningsdam wasn't the best experience even for fixed dining, seemed noisy and chaotic (although this was in the 1st year of when the ship was launched). Based on your comments I think I'll see what the cost would be for our trip and see if it is available. Thanks for the feedback.
  5. Hi all, I'm finding all of the CO posts very helpful. However, I have a question. We have never added this to our cruise but our thinking about it for our cruise next year. However, we would only be adding it for the dining room benefits. For many reasons we prefer fixed seating. My question about Club Orange is it open seating with a different table, servers etc. each night or can you request the same table? Also, if open seating if you go at "prime" times is there a wait? Thanks in advance.
  6. Wow. That is close. Thank you so much for those details. Very helpful. All the best for your future travels 🙂
  7. Hi folks, I actually have a followup question about staying at the Springhill Suites Downtown. I see a lot of comments about being able to walk to the pier for our cruise. Unfortunately my husband has chronic back pain and some nerve impairment in his leg. How far a walk is it and is it difficult terrain? If his back isn't up to it on the day (some days are better than others 🙂 ) will a taxi be possible or will they not bother because of how close it is? Thanks in advance
  8. Thank you everyone for the great suggestions. I've booked the SpringHill Suites Bayfront (at least for now) as it offered the best rate. I'll keep an eye on the rate for the Marriott Coronado and the Embassy Suites in case the prices improve (fairly high for both right now). Thanks again for your help.
  9. That looks amazing but it is a bit pricey since we are staying for 3 nights. Will keep am eye on it in case the price drops. Thanks for mentioning it.
  10. Ah yes. I should have been more specific. It is the SpringHill Suites Downtown/Bayfront that I was looking at. Does your earlier comment still apply (hope so 🙂 )
  11. I was getting concerned about Springhill Suites as there have been some reviews saying it was dated and one reported bugs in the bed. Reviews were from April this year so was worried. I'm glad to hear some positive reviews. Also, I'm curious on why the Residence Inn is more expensive (since my understanding it is part of the same building). What makes it worth the extra money? Is it that much nicer? Thanks,
  12. Hi there, We will be in San Diego next April, pre cruise and I'm starting to look at hotels 🙂 . We will be staying for 3 nights and I'm currently looking at SpringHill Suites and Wyndham Bayside. Prices are about the same but the SpringHill includes breakfast. We are looking for a hotel that is close to a few restaurants, very clean and comfortable beds and room with a coffee maker. We will probably take taxis/uber/lyft for getting to attractions so that isn't a concern. I wouldn't mind getting feedback on which hotel might be better. I've seen some suggestions on this forum already but I wouldn't mind some recent reviews. Also, if you have a different suggestion that would also be appreciated. Thanks,
