Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Is Scenic an English company? Lots of Brits on it?
  2. We’ve been on the Rhone , the Rhine and the Danube, as well as the Main, Moselle and Douro . Has anyone been on the Saone, Garonne or Dordogne in France and can speak to what the area or towns are like ? TIA!

    Barge cruises

    I see two Burgundy itineraries- The Doubs valley and Burgundy - BESANCON - RANCHOT - DOLE - SAINT-JEAN-DE-LOSNE - PETIT-OUGES - DIJON and the Burgundy Canal- from Saône-et-Loire to the Côte d'Or Dijon(2) - SAINT-LEGER-SUR-DHEUNE - SANTENAY - CHAGNY - CHALON - SAINT-JEAN-DE-LOSNE - PETIT-OUGE - DIJON Is one preferable ? CielBleu-did you take one of these?
  5. Yeah- that’s the case with a lot of things- multiple pronunciations that are accepted. BTW, to me, Door-oh and Dough- row sound the same- just different ways of spelling it out.
  6. Well, I'd been saying DOURO incorrectly because my computer now tells me it's pronounced DOOR-oh, or DOUGH-row not DUE-row.

    I was incorrect. The Alsace itinerary does have some spring and fall sale dates. Does anyone know anything about Dutch Barge Cruises?

    I didn’t see the Alsace itinerary because the email I got I think was just for some of their sales and none of the Alsace destinations are on sale . They come out to $473 per person /night.

    And that's why it costs $5000 pp for 5 nights!
  10. Why can ships be longer on the Main? Is it because the locks are longer? I think it generally costs more on the Douro because the ships are smaller and hold fewer passengers. If the Main is quite a bit shorter than the Douro, why/how is there traffic on many more kilometers? Or did you just mean there is more traffic?

    Barge cruises

    Croisi Europe’s 4 barges each hold 22 people. Plus a 6 person crew.
  12. Only two of my seven river cruises were in the summer so that could be why there were no kids . The time there was a family with teen girls was in August.
  13. Has anyone taken a barge cruise? We’re thinking about CroisiEurope for next year in France and wondering if it’s worth it. Although I do see they have sales 3 to 6 months out when they have unsold cabins and some of them are as low as $320 /nt per person. Also wondering if one destination stands out more than the others . They have Provence , Burgundy and Oise ( near Dijon).
  14. Obviously the AMA Disney cruises wouldn’t be geared toward older teens but what about Uniworld?
  15. I see that AMA and Uniworld offer family cruises. Are there other lines that do? In two years we will be taking a graduating grandchild on a trip so we are considering this as we really like river cruising but I worry he may be bored. if there are other older teens around, that would help. Or maybe we'll have to consider an ocean cruise. Kind of depends on what part of the world he'll want to see too. Thanks for any suggestions!
