Hurtigruten are very small ships and sail areas where the sea can be rough. I think you would be a lot different on Cunard. Regards John

Hotel with parking for Two week cruise?
john watson replied to Liberal_Baggie's topic in UK Cruisers
Holiday Inn Herbert Walker Avenue do a cruise and stay deal. I believe they also do parking only with ticket machines in the foyer where you opt for different lengths. Check with hotel beforehand. Regards John. -
I think some gentlemen get around this rule by just having the handle. Regards John

I saw two gentlemen wearing kilts on a formal night with, I assume were their wives chatting to the side a little way away. Meanwhile a few drinks waitresses seemed to be taking selfies with the gentlemen. Regards John

Interesting, were they weighing everyone? Regards John

If you disembark as late as possible you can get a taxi to the next berth. You could just sit in the foyer of any of the big local hotels and get drinks at the bar to kill time if you are running too early for the next ship, Regards John

Logically they should post one to you. Do you have local travel agents that have them on the shelf? That would be my plan B. Regards John

I suspect the excursion operator weighs up the danger associated with the activity and how it might affect its smooth continuation. If a lot of physical activity were involved and someone became breathless and had chest pains medical intervention might be required. If you were on a small craft twenty minutes and a third of the way to the objective and they were forced to turn about it could be alleged that someone outside the stated age limits was negligent in booking and culpable for the disruption.

After forty years of cruising I thought I had completely got over sea sickness. Then I did a Transatlantic with Star Clippers 2,000 ton ship bobbing about. During a particular storm heavy seas at night the bed was going up and down about a metre plus all night. I got up three times. Lol John

Men's underpants look very similar and quite often identical. There should be a difference in appearance from the original photograph's condition. If they had a line up in security.... Regards John

You can take things off and on cruise ships. In this respect you could purchase a suitcase ashore if you needed to take home your purchases from ports of call. Therefore if you take a suitcase off why can you not bring it back. The only problem I see is they might think you are prematurely disembarking. I should think the best plan is to ask the cruise line if they have a problem with your plan. They scan all thing brought on board at every port. Regards John

Surely not every item? Regards John

I read a post on here the other day where someone had booked a minimum guarantee inside cabin but had been upgraded to ocean view. When checking the details the upgrade was an adapted cabin which they did not need but they were happy with it. It seems to me cruise lines routine follow this practice but without bookings made on the basis of having an adapted cabin or not sailing they are stuck in a chicken and egg situation in respect of booking in the final few passengers which they effectively put anywhere. We need a booking category where you book an adapted cabin where none remain and wait but if none come up you do not sail whereas if one comes up you get notified and sail. Probably need a seven day period prior to sailing and a refundable deposit system. Regards John

Are you thinking Berth 101 City Cruise Terminal? Regards John

This is what I do. Once folded and glued on decent thickness paper and taped over they are so strong you can pick one's case up by the label. Regards John
