    Not a Poll..... Just opinions on AI pack for a TA

    in Costa Cruises

    Posted

    AI 30 days journey...... 15 ports cost: 1229 euros ( 1700 Canadian) for my child and me..... Comes about 58 bucks/day.... For everything else..... There is Amex ;)

     

    Good value I think.... Specially when a bottle of Asti is 22 euros and a mimosa 7

     

    Running my numbers will pay off specially on sea days..... What do you guys think????

    Thanks Joe...

     

    I am excited about this 30 days cruise ..... Booked my AI today at about 58 Canadian $ a day for the two of us ..... I think a good value I think...... It just looks bad when u see over 1700 bucks together spent on alcohol...... But the off set of that is the worry free with Mimosas for breakfast before leaving for the ports and night caps without worrying about the bill.

     

    I will start a thread and see what people think ;)

    Will be posting a review and will let you know our thoughts:)

    Went back and forth for three months before booking this cruise line, we only had one other option for December t/a and that was Princes out of Rome.

    You seem to dock at the Katajanokka Terminal. Its located some 900 m from the Market Square.

    There are several options of course. I'll assume you'll go to the Sibelius monument immediately from the ship and that you are prepared to walk two blocks extra rather than do complex tram/bus changes.

     

    There is a tram stop next to the terminal but that one is for tram 4T and that one doesn't seem to fit into your schedule.

    So you you have to somehow find the stop for tram 4 that is some 400m from the ship at corner Linnankatu / Merikasarminkatu / Vyökatu.

    Get off tram 4 at stop "Töölön halli" on Mannerheim road.

     

    http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=60.185534,24.921686&spn=0.00486,0.016512&t=m&layer=c&cbll=60.185534,24.921686&panoid=PUkSWKxTBXTXkEFm0Xt0aA&cbp=12,284.98,,0,0&z=17

     

    Take the street left of the "ABC!" gas station (Humalistonkatu). Follow it three blocks (the last one going uphill), then a little kink right (Rajasaarentie), over a busy road (Mechelininkatu)- there are traffic lights - and into the park on your left side. (some 600m in total).

     

    Regarding the route from the monument to the rock church you got several options.

    Easiest option seems to exit the park in the middle and follow Mechelininkatu south, turn left into Sibeliuksenkatu follow it two blocks and turn right into Topeliuksenkatu. There you'll find a stop for buses #14 and #18.

     

    Or you can go back the way you came follow Mechelininkatu north and then turn right around the corner to the bus stop on Topeliuksenkatu (buses #14 and #18)

    If you are REALLY unsure of yourself you can go all the way back to the team stop and take tram 3T (the platform closer to the gas station).

     

    Regardless of whether you take a bus or the tram, the stop you want to get off at is named "Kauppakorkeakoulut" near the corner Arkadiankatu /Runeberginkatu. Then circle the block oppside you (the one with a RED brick building behind six trees in a line and some grass) to reach the church. (You can circle either to the left or to the right)
