Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. We had to cancel our cruise so did not implement any of our carefully thought out plans. I have not been following the posts since we decided to cancel.
  2. Do cabins have a regular electric kettle as well as a coffee maker relying on pods?
  3. I found it very easy to find the ports that most concern me for our cruise on the www.whatsinport.com website. Millybess, do you have instances of when the site is now, or has been, inaccurate?
  4. Thank you MrRandall for alerting me to the www.whatsinport.com website. Have you found it to be accurate?
  5. We visited Greenland in 2016 on a Silversea expedition ship with 100 pax. Rough crossing from Iceland followed by many visits to settlement large and small, including the capital Nuuk as well as explorations by zodiac of glacier, hot springs and remains of early settlements.
  6. Thank you for the update. Maybe by next year .........?
  7. Thanks for responding. I'd like to find a Corinth Canal cruise for our trip to Greece next year.
  8. Please tell me how you booked the boat ride through the Corinth Canal.
  9. I have been following posts about docking for Venice and researching possible options for the three days we are there next February. I found this thread useful for the information about the dock, its accessibility to Chioggia and to transport to Venice. There is a bus service Chioggia to Venice (arrivaveneto.it) with a current website and timetables. Travelling time seems to be about an hour, but probably traffic dependent. Hoping recent passengers will post information on transport options.
  10. Peregrina: Thank you for your warning about lack of date. My bad. The accompanying traveller's story was written in 1999, very much out of date. Of course, one should get updated information from the company running the service before relying on it. CC Wine Lover, we are booked on the same Viking Saturn cruise as you from Barcelona February 2024 with a three day turnaround in Venice and have been following on the roll call. There is a bus service Chioggia to Venice (arrivaveneto.it) with a current website and timetables. Travel time (no doubt traffic dependent) is estimated slightly less than the ferry Fieldofdreams mentioned. We are considering spending one night in a hotel in Venice, returning to the ship on day 2 of the turnaround. I'm keeping options open as I understand there is only one dock in Chioggia and, if it is occupied, Viking Saturn will be redirected to the industrial port at Maghera or somewhere even further away from Venice. Or it may move berths sometime during the turnaround. As I said before, I hope cruisers on this route will post their experiences very soon.
  11. No, but I found this article interesting. Hope some recent cruisers who have docked at Chioggia can contribute. Venice to Chioggia | Venice for Visitors (europeforvisitors.com)
  12. I hope we do not encounter a noisy dockside welcome on our cruise.
  13. Any age limit for the driver? Upper limit that is?
  14. "Covid has not gone away but is managed differently now, just as influenza etc has not gone away." Vaccination is the best management tool for Covid and influenza. I am disappointed in Viking.
  15. Vagabobd51 you are my kind of traveler. Thank you for your post on Istanbul. That’s the way we like to get around a city. We are very frustrated when our ship docks at industrial ports where pedestrian access/egress is denied and/or there is no public transport to the city.
