Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Palace of Justice is the court room, and yes only open when trials not taking place. Take the train and the Bayern pass and 2nd class around 39 euro for two each way or less (I don't have my phone right now to check on exact). Also staying in Nuremberg after or before cruise is a thought, or Munich. We stay at a hotel right by the train station in Nuremberg and very easy to get anywhere in the old town by foot, and plenty of other transportation to get where you want to go. Same as in Munich.
  2. If you go to County Wicklow. Check out the old series of Ballykissangel from PBS or BBC. It is set in the town of Avoca (but they call it Ballykissangel) Beautiful countryside and a lovely 7 season series of an English priest and the inhabitants of this small Irish village.
  3. Happy New Year! I was just going to mention a Dinner for One. My German friends turned me on to it several years ago. Also, the marzipan pink pigs for luck.
  4. Same on the River Cruises this year too.
  5. My friend sent pictures from Karlstadt yesterday. I love the webcam from the Alter Kranen, that is our favorite hotel in Wurzburg, we stay there all the time.
  6. My friends in Karlstadt am Main have posted pictures, it is very high on the main, so no ships sailing, can't get under bridges. A poster on the Viking Rollcalls just reported that he is on his 2nd or third ship from Budapest and will transfer to the Viking Ve in Mainz and then get to Amsterdam.
  7. I have seen posts that the Christmas Market Viking Rhine cruises do offer an excursion to Gengenback, there has been a lot of reporting of that and some very nice pictures.
  8. Our favorite hotel in Passau is the Passauer Wolf, right on the river in the Altstadt. Reasonable rates and good breakfast.
  9. The Prestige is used for training. In July we met our restaurant manager from the Douro in Vienna. He was training new hires on the Prestige and it does sail a bit for training. We were supposed to be on it in 2020 which was changed to the Embla at that time.
  10. I just wonder if the Ve will be the ship that picks up the passengers from the Gymir (ship that hit bridge on Main) in Nuremberg.
  11. Per my friend, the reason they hit the dock was the steering was out due to collision. It has been fixed and they are sailing to Wertheim. Will swap ships in Passau.
  12. Viking has bused some passengers to Würzburg for a tour. They have been told they will transfer to another ship. Could be the Odin that appears on its way?
  13. My friend is on the ship. That's how I found out about the collision. Have not heard from her today, will post when I do.
  14. Just saw post on FB. The Gymir hit an iron bridge around lunch time today close to Miltonberg. No one was injured. https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mainpost.de%2Fregional%2Fmain-spessart%2Fkreuzfahrtschiff-in-miltenberg-mit-eisenbahnbruecke-kollidiert-art-11304249%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR3_lnpzoZYiFnCVaDofFZzuSXqiLap8FNZCD0g0SscZ0ndRG-EwdWgBG9Y&h=AT2fW9RY8FPBn6tmtyAoGu__b5GB_T77VR82R1mFoUtBufni1BacfdPJqD8WiljwIu5MvHil_dAzVmhp4hX38r7dn444h-qPE6ZNtfpK-xSJ8vWWycwKd85480sJHKPwFQ&__tn__=-UK-R&c[0]=AT1J_ad8zlvvzMRAAmT-b331uTl2KaRp9W2T9ymmyJAd0kLelPdR6ZyWmZJcH9YFi7i-AsNV9Vhow-fKMC1jBYBcLNRaGrNNWBBJjtWdpIeuX_y6bdn7R3b-z4tOxhaIUb0X3fqU8di3EF72PAajgaX_1lOs90s8bFamkZkfSzt6lwH5dK1coNtUEw
  15. Also, if you take Bayern Pass it will include the S & U Bahns in Munich and you can get off a train and take I think the S Bahn to Marianplatz. From there most everything is easy.
