Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. We traveled twice with Claudia as well. Once to Antarctica with another line and then with SS. She was the climatologist in those years. Lovely lady.
  2. SS did charge us double for the hotel in Rome for our son (single) so we cancelled it and did our own. Then we did have to pay the deviation fee but we, financially, came out way ahead even with adding in private transfers from the airport and to the ship. Of course, it is not as convenient as arriving and seeing the SS person waiting for us.
  3. I have a Viking cruise booked for June this year with free air. I asked specifically if I did my own air would there be any compensation and Viking said no. I was able to change the flights that they booked online with a small upcharge which was shown in the choices. I suggest calling them and asking about your specific booking.
  4. It comes off of your invoice (at least ours did)
  5. I do think that the A category gets noise from the walking track. Viking does not allow anyone to walk up there before 7 or 8 AM (I've forgotten which) as I know that I was stopped when going up to walk in the early morning. We've always booked B but we used the balcony often.
  6. We did the Iberostar cruise about 10 years ago. We were the only Americans onboard but the expedition leader spoke English. We combined the 4 and 5 night itineraries and enjoyed it very much. It was not fancy at all but it was clean and an expedition. I don't know how it is now.
  7. I had no idea about this until I arrived in London. Since I had a small amount I just deposited it in the donation box at a church that I visited.
  8. Last August we were there for 4 hours but we read everything and watched every film. It was really interesting. The website recommended 2 hours.
  9. I wore ski pants over long underwear and jjs217 is correct in that I couldn't take off my ski pants until I got to my cabin. My husband wore long underwear, sweatpants, thin waterproof pants. Truly waterproof is the most important thing.
  10. A couple of weeks ago I flew American from London business class. My first flight was cancelled. My replacement flight was delayed so I missed my connecting flight home. I don't know the reasons but AA paid for a hotel room. I had to pay for Lyft roundtrip and I submitted that bill to AA. They gave me mileage points not money. So I applied to Allianz and I received a refund in 24 hours. I also was able to use the Flagship lounge in Miami when I showed them my previous days boarding pass from London. So every airline is different and a lot depends on who you speak with. Just another example.
  11. As of November 2022 the laundry was still there with 2 washers and 2 dryers.
  12. My TA tried to make a booking for me yesterday and said that they told her IT issues. I tried online and got an error message. I've forgotten my password so tried this morning to get it sent to me and it just spins and spins. My TA will try again today. This seems to be an ongoing issue.
  13. We also wore the slip on room slippers to/from the mud room. Easier
