Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. We will be in Cobh on Apex May 12 which is a Sunday 8am to 4pm. Do you know if there will be any Pubs open so my hubby can get his Guinness? We are looking forward to walking around and seeing the beautiful area of Cobh. We have watched a few YouTubes and it really looks interesting. Thank you.
  2. Thank you all for taking the time to give us your opinions/advise on the best way to get to Gatwick. We will wait until we get to London to make our plans the day before we fly out to which way we will go. Probably take the Train (not the Gatwick Exp). I am looking forward to taking the train. Last time we rode the train in London was many, many years ago, we went to Hampton Court.
  3. gumshoe958 Thank you for all your information. I watched a YouTube video today it was dated a year ago and they stopped and purchased ticket right at the turn style and paid the higher price. Glad to know it is cheaper to just use our contactless credit card. That makes a big difference in the price.
  4. I googled it and some site that I checked showed that time. It was not the train schedule site I am sure. Thank you all for your answers. I have also had my sister that is going with us check on her Uber app what the cost would be from our hotel to Gatwick and when you add up the cost of Uber to Train and Train to Gatwick it appears to be almost the same. Is there something I am missing? We plan on leaving around 5:30 am or there about. Would appreciate your opinion on this. Thank you.
  5. Hello, I need some help please for out transportation to the Gatwick airport after our TA cruise in May 2024. We plan to stay in London for a couple of days then fly one way back to Miami on Norse Atlantic airlines. The flight leaves at 10 am. We are staying in a hotel in Sussex Gardens area and I know if we take the train we will have to go to Victoria and take the Southern Train and it starts running I believe at 7:30 am. Here's where we need help we are 3 Adults over 50 and were not sure what will be the best way to get to Gatwick early enough, we are hoping to go to the Priority Lounge in the Southern Terminal before our flight if that helps with the timing. What time does the Taxis run and how much could the cost be to Southern Terminal Gatwick? How early does Uber run and are they reliable to pick us up and how much could the cost be? Thank you for any and all the help.
  6. Thank you I was under the impression you have to put it on the rack outside the seating area. So where are you putting it that means you have it with you?
  7. We are 3 Adults coming to London for 3 nights after our Transatlantic cruise from Florida. We have a deposit at the Mitre House Hotel, at Sussex Gardens, London. From the pictures and reviews it looks nice it can accommodate all 3 of us in the same room, with each having our own beds and not sleeper sofa, futons etc. Question we are considering taking the National Express Bus from Southampton to London. It goes to Victoria Station which is a long way from the hotel. We do not want to have to take our luggage down stairs to the tube what would be our best way to get to the hotel from Victoria Station? We will be arriving on a Wednesday in May. Would we be better taking the Train from Southampton? Thank you for your help.
  8. Hello, We could use some advise on our travel from Southampton Cruise Port to London. We are 3 adults (70+) and we plan to take our own luggage off when we depart in Southampton. We will each have 1 carry on suit case with wheels and 1 backpack. We disembark on a Wednesday, in May probably around 7:30 to 8:00 am. We plan on staying in London for 3 nights. We currently have a deposit on a hotel in Sussex Gardens, London. If the weather is good when we depart we might be able to walk to bus or train station in Southampton. If we need to take a taxi will there be plenty available at the cruise port? And what is the usual rate. We were thinking of taking the bus since it would be easy with them putting the luggage in the hold area of the bus. We don't like the idea of putting our luggage in a rack outside of the sitting area on the train where we can't see it. From what I have found so far the bus will take us to Victoria Station which is not close to our hotel and we do not want to have to try and get our luggage down to the Tube Station. Would the train be a better choice and if so which one to where especially since this will be a week day and I am sure the early trains will be quite full. Thanks for your help.
  9. Check out Bananarama they have chairs for rent on the beach, bathrooms, showers and you can snorkel from the beach. You can also check Paradise Beach Hotel they have day pass with chairs, use of the pool beautiful area and you can snorkel from the beach.
  10. You are not allowed to take the coffee etc to go. As far as corkage fee we take a couple of bottles of wine and open in room. You can take your glass of wine with you when you leave your cabin. We have never had a problem. Ask your room steward for wine glasses and opener if you do not have one.
  11. We had cabin 10235 we would book it again. Good location and quiet.
  12. Thank you. I know we went out of this one on Beyond.
  13. Does anyone know if this is where the New Celebrity Ascent ship will be for December 10, 2023 sailing? Thanks
  14. Finally finished with the nightmare of having our car flooded at Park N Go from our April 9th cruise on the Beyond. Our car was totaled after we got home and took it to the dealership. On the drive home we had symbols that came up saying to see your dealer. The water had done too much damage that our insurance company had totaled it. It was a shame we had less than 12,000 miles on our 2020 Honda Accord. It took over a month but we finally got our insurance settlement and just purchased our New Honda Accord. Still not sure I will use Park N Go again may use the port parking instead.
