Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I have read previous articles but would like recommendations of good and reliable transportation OTHER THAN the train. We are arriving at Seatac in the evening, we are seniors and need to get to our hotel which is close to Pike Place Market. I know recommendations change over time, but if you did this trip in the past year or are planning for this Alaska cruise season, we would appreciate all suggestions.
  2. Has anyone stayed at this hotel before? If so what are your reviews - the good, the bad and the ugly, please. We like that it is fairly close to Pike Place and the property pictures look good. I would appreciate your input.
  3. I have not been able to read all these posts but have a question for the knowledgable Seattle members. We are an older couple with "not so good knees". We have stayed in Seattle 10 years ago when much fitter but now we would like to keep the walking up and down hills to a minimum. Like most people we would love to stay close enough to Pike Market and was wondering if you could give us an idea of which hotels to choose from that are more or less on the level, or just not a steep uphill climb to get to?
  4. We haven't cruised on Princess for quite a while and wondered what the deposit amount is for a cruise? Is it the same amount for either standard or Plus?
  5. Thanks for the replies. I'm wondering if it's not showing, as suggested, because it is still in GTY status, so there is not a cabin number allocated yet. Although the set sail pass is showing on my computer. Strange and confusing!
  6. Thanks. Yes I have checked in to both cruises - both are open for check in. I was wondering if either it was too early to show set sail pass on the App or they are having issues with the App at the moment. We have used the App many, many times and don't remember having this issue previously. I can view the set sail pass on my laptop, but was wanting to use my phone for the digital set sail pass on my App at check in on sail day and not have to print out my set sail pass beforehand.
  7. The website says - access your digital boarding pass on the App. I am not finding it on my App. Any insight please.
  8. Breakfast is smoked salmon, onion and capers and also the delicious raisin bread. Lunch is definitely the lamb and chicken curries, fried fish & chips and also the various bread puddings and vanilla sauce. Dinner faves are shrimp, ceviche and also the stir fry's.
  9. I agree! Even though we are loyal to Royal now, we did all our Alaska cruises and the cruise tour with Princess ...... remarkable, the absolute best. We stayed at the Denali Princess Lodge, the Kenai Princess Lodge and also the Captain Cook Hotel in Anchorage, all amazing..... and their glass domed train with excellent & hilarious tour guides made it a cruise tour to remember forever.
  10. For your first time I would definitely say YES!!!! One thing to note is - the tour (like most tours) can be quite tiring, so I would say it's a MUST to do the tour BEFORE the cruise, not after. As the previous poster says you can then rest on the cruise. We have also done 3 Alaskan cruises and the one Cruise tour. The cruise tour gave us such a yearning to go back and explore Alaska that we took our RV, from Florida to Alaska and spent 5 months there ... it was off the charts unbelievable!! Now I would absolutely only rent a vehicle in Alaska and do it ourselves. It is so easy, not congested like the lower 48. To the person who said they would be afraid to overtake a slow RV - firstly the RV's travel at the same speed as the cars, don't forget you're not doing interstate speeds. Also it's no problem to overtake a RV because most of the time you have the road to yourselves and there isn't oncoming traffic for miles. The only busy places are Anchorage and Fairbanks.
  11. I would seriously doubt that he would be able to use it on the dock anywhere near the ship. Since 9/11 there is a "security field" around every cruise ship. That is why you don't see any type of fisherman etc on the cruise docks. I would think if they allowed it onboard he would have to go somewhere away from the ships dock to use it...... definitely call RCCL for clarification.
  12. I have another question please. At the various GTI stops for Bethlehem/Jerusalem was there easy access to bathrooms?
  13. Hi, We are doing the Jerusalem/Bethlehem tour with Guided Israel Tours which is a 10 hour tour. My question is regarding bathroom facilities at the various tourists sights and stop. Were there plenty available and easily accessible? Does one have to pay anything to use the facilities? Many Thanks.
  14. Yes, this was the exact experience at Port Canaveral a couple of weeks ago.
  15. Thanks for the reply. Our tour leaves the top cable car station at 10am. We have been to Santorini a few times before but this will be the first time on such a huge ship (many more people) So I was trying to work out what time to aim for to leave the ship taking into account the bottleneck at the cable car and the fact that we will not be the only ship tendering that morning.
