Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I agree with you 100%. It is actually not customary to leave gratuities for services which are already included in the cost in Western Europe. It is graciously accepted but not expected,
  2. Per Holland America: cigar smoking is not allowed inside the casino. The only location for cigars and pipes smoking is in the smoking area of the Seabreeze Bar.
  3. I wouldn’t count on it. It will be a long walk of about 6 or 7 blocks and hoping a suitcase wheel doesn’t break. It happens! every intersection will be packed with cars either coming or returning to the port. The busses are actually much easier and of course there is no charge if you parked at the cruise port parking lot.
  4. If you use the cruise parking lot, itisso easy to drive up to where the buses. Are loading and just drop off your luggage, then drive to a parking spot. If anyone in th3 vehicle has a handicap sticker or hang tag, you will be directed to park just to the left of where the buses are located…short walk. Once each BU’s is loaded they head to the cruise center. Your luggage will be unloaded and you should stay there at the luggage unloading are until you see all your luggage is there. Tip your luggage porter! Keep your carryon with you for meds, valuables, etc. pits very simple really. The parking lot is totally fenced in, locked, well lit and has uniformed Norfolk Police patrolling throughout the lot 24 hrs a day. The city of Norfolk has spent $1M to make this lot secure and safe. This happened after a bad start to Norfolk cruise season post Covid when many cars were broken into and/or damaged. The ship is about 4 blocks from the cruise terminal, but the route the buses have to take, along with traffic lights make it seem longer.
