Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Special request please- if anyone is currently on the Millennium, could you stop by the Apple Store and see if they have any IPads in stock? Generation number would be an added plus! Thank you so much, in advance!!
  2. Agree on the train idea. Book a hotel at, or near, the station. (Hotel Granvia Kyoto is above the station, not too expensive, clean and very convenient.) Go to Get Your Guide or Tours by Locals and arrange a Gion tour for the evening, and then a seperate short half daytour of several of the shrines and temples that you are interested in for the next day. Be sure to state upfront what your time restrictions are and the need for a guide who will take it easy on your knees. ( Japan guides walk very fast). The hotel will hold your bags while you do the half day tour and you will be right at the station to catch the train back. We did this several years ago and are doing it again at the end of the month. If you want to see Osaka, then just do the train and return late on day one.
  3. It is available in all bars, except those in the dining rooms.
  4. Is it possible to arrive at the dock and drop off the bags and then leave to explore Yokohama before returning to complete our 3:30 check in before sailing? If so, what is the earliest time to drop off the luggage? I would like to utilize this time to:see Yokohama as we must leave immediately after disembarking. The ship is scheduled to arrive in port at 6 am. TIA
  5. Hoping to find fairly recent reviews or suggestions for Shared Transportation options that will pick up from our hotel in Central Tokyo going to Osanbashi port. Do not want subway or train due to luggage, hoping to spend less than a taxi. We did this pre Covid, but now there seems to be a lack of companies providing g this service.
  6. I’m very interested in this too. We are booked on the Flora and I’m concerned that I might have difficulty with this.
  7. It’s always wise to carry a few test kits, some masks and hand sanitizer and enough cough and cold meds to carry you thru 5 days of isolation... Covid is definitely still active, better to be prepared.
  8. The Infinity is one of the older ships, it has some wear, but overall it’s still a fine ship. Definitely go for Aqua, esp if it is less than balcony! Try for one of the Aqua cabins on 11, they are newer and quieter than those under the pool deck.
  9. Lovelacyc, thank you for the cherry blossom report. Our Millennium cruise leaving Yokohama on March 28 will be perfect timed!🌸🌸🍒🌸🌸
  10. We do Aqua on the older ships and SV on Edge class ships, we are not fans of the infinate verandah, and feel that the four dining rooms on Edge class give a little variety to our dining. SV’s are great as long as.you don’t mind the walk to the central elevators.
  11. Really looking forward to your live review. We will be doing a family trip ( group of 6, 3 generations) on the Flora in August. Have fun!!
  12. Thank you, I just ordered two pair! Should be great for a lot of other occasions too.
  13. I see that most people in the last zodiac shot have on long sleeves and long pants, is this for sun protection or weather?. What has the temperature been?
