Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. We have a Port Stop in Puntarenas, Costa Rica on our Panama Canal Cruise in November. Any suggestions/ recommendations of Nice Port Excursions from Puntarenas? TIY
  2. First let me say we have never cruised Emerald. However we have done 6 cruises with Avalon since our 1st in 2010. They have all been great which is what keeps us coming back for more. Service excellent, food pretty good with breakfast & dinner in our opinion excellent compared to Dinner. Wines free flowing & local guides & excursions enjoyable. Ship cabins very comfortable for as little time as we spend in them. The beds facing the river is a nice feature not offered by all cruise lines. We always book a French Balcony cabin to front of ship. Decor contemporary & clean. We were most impressed on our last river cruise in Sept 2021, Basel to Amsterdam. They ran the cruise with only 28 passengers on board a ship that has Capacity of around 150. They could have easily cancelled due to low bookings Post Covid but they did not. We had a wonderful cruise and were treated royally despite the few passengers on board. There were no short comings from the crew we could notice due to low passengers on board. We had our own private so to speak cruising vessel for 13 days, it was wonderful!! So my view point cannot provide any comparison for you but can only say we have been more then satisfied with all our Avalon Cruises. Budapest to Prague is a beautiful itinerary and most of our cruises are Fall cruises as we prefer the less crowded atmosphere compared to Summertime travel. I wish you luck in your choices and hope whoever you decide on you have a wonderful cruise!
  3. We have purchased tickets for Military Tattoo. Will be coming from the Leith Cruise Port. Any recommendations on best way to get to the Castle from the Cruise port and what time should we depart for event, starts at 2100. I know it is only 3 miles but if there are taxi's, trams or shuttles.... that would be our preference. Appreciate your help. Looking for quickest and easiest way to get there as I know there will be large crowds headed to same place we are.
