Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I love this information! We are spending 5 days in Madrid after our cruise that ends in Barcelona. I am wondering if Zaragoza is ok to explore on our own or finding a guide or tour is worthwhile. We have no problem taking a train back and forth but would make it a day trip.
  2. Hello. We just booked a week ago. I’ve been busy looking at excursions and one in st Lucia needs more people if it will go. It is with Joys Adventures. We have done this before and it was amazing. $120 pp from 8 am til 3. Goes to the mud baths and various sites, then a lunch buffet at Joys home, then off to get on a boat to the pitons to snorkel and swim. After this- we board a catamaran where we have an open bar while we sail down the coast back to the ship. It is a fantastic day. Check out the website at joysadventure.com
  3. We love spending our evenings in the RFP when there is a great band / musicians. Does anyone know who is there now- more specifically who will be there end August?
  4. My response is based on my own experience. Last year we sailed on the pride twice in Europe (Greek isles and Italy). I purchased wine in several ports and brought it back on board without any question and never had it confiscated. When sailing in the Caribbean- it is a different story.
  5. I have brought on wine at each port in Europe many times. No issues
  6. We are thinking of booking a cruise visiting the British Isles. Other cruise lines allow you to bring wine onboard after visiting a port. Any experience with this with NCL? Just wondering if the drinks package is worth it if you can bring on wine
  7. We are new to RCCL but diamond on CCL. Can you purchase buckets of beer or something similar? Is there a savings in doing so? Approximate cost? The drink packages are crazy expensive!! What is the average cost of a cocktail? Beer?
  8. I would never consider my Canadian dollars to be accepted anywhere but at home. When I travel to the states I have usd. When I’m in the UK I have pounds and euro in Europe. It is not only considerate it is what I believe is acceptable. Credit cards and debit cards are the way to go. For small amounts; obviously cad is best. Consider the person receiving your money! They don’t want to have to go to the bank to exchange the money,
  9. Can you visit the mansions without pre purchased tickets. Or is a “drive by” excursion enough. Is there a tour company website anyone can recommend. I haven’t really seen one
  10. Help me with ideas! We arrive at 6 am til 2 pm. With tendering it doesn’t leave much time. Ideas are welcome. Doesn’t seem enough time to do an excursion with having to tender back probably by 1
  11. Used for carnival a couple weeks ago. No issue at all
  12. Has anyone any experience with getting from cruise port in Le Havre to the train station and then into Paris to use hop on hop off bus. Which train station in Paris is best? Is this easy to do on your own We have an excursion booked on Carnival to do Paris on your own; but I think this would be faster and more economical if we had some guidance from those that have done this.
  13. One more question. We are all fully vaxed and boosters. Did you have to fill out the form from the Spanish government beforehand or what did you do in preparation. I know we have to do a test three days before cruise which we will do upon arrival in Barcelona
  14. Thanks so much for that! You just made me breathe a sigh of relief. I hope we have the same experience! We love Barcelona too!!
  15. We are travelling to Barcelona on Air Transat on May 25. Has anyone had any issue with long check in times; security etc? Trying to plan appropriately and organize limo to Pearson. we are getting excited yet a bit nervous with all protocols etc.
