Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. i have been to all five ports. Took a provided shuttle into Bodrum All other ports are easily walkable. In Valetta you can walk to the elevator which takes you up to the main area of town or you can do steps. Also do not miss the Baroque church with the Caravaggio paintings in Valetta. Rhodes I lobed just wandering as I did in the other ports.
  2. I am glad I cancelled this cruise last year. Hope no more ports are cancelled or changed and I am afraid Dakar may be next. No travel advisories though https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-68209178
  3. Was that a mass market line? I have heard that when the dining room opens there are sometimes a lot of people but it is Crystal and it will be sorted out quickly. We have arrived as 8:45 pm and were never “left out”.

    Forward Cabins

    i have been forward of the forward staircases many times on deck 9, 10 and 11 and I have never had a problem but as said above if you are prone to motion discomfort, which I am not, it may be an issue.
  5. it is approximately a 4.5 hour train ride from Gare Lyon. I have done similar without any issues and that is what I would do also. Book directly with French Rail and look for senior discounts if applicable I enjoy the trains in Europe very much
  6. You go to Waterside whenever you want during open hours. In my recent cruise it was either 6:00 or 6:30 opening until 9:00pm. We only dine at two tops and asked for that when we checked in. If you want a particular section you can ask for that and they will try to seat you there. We never dined before 8:00pm and never had issues.

    Fernando

    Fernando was the most amazing cruise director I have ever sailed with (and i sailed with him many times) in my close to 100 cruises. I asked him once how he does what he does, every single day. His answer was “Good drugs”. He use to give language lessons on days at sea and on one cruise with a lot of sea days we were treated to lessons in five different languages. Two more sea days and we could have had two more lessons. People adore Fernando and yes he adores them back,
  8. Had Starlink on our recent Crystal cruise and it was fabulous. Both DH and I were streaming different shows on our Ipads when we were on the pool deck. We both have new Bose headphones and used them for the streaming shows. The internet speed was super fast. Great move for Seabourn
  9. What an awful way to handle your booking and the price decrease.

    New York port

    If you are at the NYPST it is much easier to go in/out EWR. Going crosstown to get to LGA is usually a traffic nightmare. Terminal A which is brand new is gorgeous and many airlines are in Terminal A now.
  11. Yes, I received one also. Actually I would rather cruise with Fernando, who is fabulous, than the other two. Though I do know someone who knows Kent well nd says he is a nice chap, The North Pole does have a ring to it as an answer to someone’s question about a favorite place visited. Especially since it seems everyone I know has been to Antarctica, LOL.
  12. And the pre cruise land for the 6 day cruise is entirely in Saudi Arabia. Its also very expensive but that is to be expected for A and K.
  13. Have just gotten off an absolutely wonderful cruise on Crystal which included two visits to the spa. Both had 20% gratuity tacked on. That was quite surprising to me.
  14. I also went after a cruise which ended in B.A. It was wonderful and after Antarctica I wasn’t t sure I would be impressed but I was blown away. It was amazing. I stayed two nights at the then Sheraton in a fallsview room and just loved it. I did it all on my own and super easy, not to mention I used Sheraton points for the room so it was free.
