Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Question for the group on this - how often do they play the game over the course of a 10-day cruise? Thank you!
  2. Great - good to know! Thank you @swin26 !
  3. Thank you everyone! This is great. @Northern Aurora - yes, we are looking at other parks as well. So much planning! But this is one that is on the top of everyone's bucket list. 🙂 My husband and i were blessed to see it long ago, and hopefully will be lucky again! We had thought about staying a night at the Princess Lodge in Talkeetna, so that may be an options as well. Thank you again to all!
  4. Hi all! We were beginning to plan a June 2025 cruise to Alaska. We have been once before, but that was 20 years ago. We would be going with a group who all definitely want to see Denali and the mountain. (along with Glaciers and wildlife). None of them have been before. I have just seen that the road in Denali is closed at mile 43, so you can't go out to the viewing area to see McKinley. I realize that it is often fogged in anyway, but we had managed to get a great view way back when, so were hoping to get lucky again. Some reports state it may open in 2025, but others feel it won't be until 2026. Are there other places to view the mountain from? The bus trip out would be fine to see wildlife and other vistas if we could also go somewhere else to get views. Or should we postpone a year or two if this is important to the group? Thanks for your advice!
  5. This is a bit late, but wanted to say we have stayed in both categories, so were able to directly compare. We decided that we would never pay for the upgrade again. The size difference of the room is minimal, we didn't even notice it. We spent so little time in the room, and any "down' time was spent up on deck or in one of the lounges. Avalon has wonderful spaces to relax in. We would rather spend the money for special excursions, and you can do several for the money you save. Good luck with your choice! I do hope it is a wonderful cruise!
  6. Thanks you guys! This is perfect! It looks like that will be our plan then. Love the pics! That gives me a great idea of where to go and see. Happy that the beach is right there as well. Take care!
  7. Thanks to both of you for your suggestions! However we had decided to not go to Nice and have a nice leisurely down time day in port without dealing with travelling anywhere. Thought we might do some shopping and have a wine lunch or some beach time. Do either of you know if that is doable? Or should we just stay on the ship? Thanks again!
  8. Hi everyone! I realize that this is mostly for hotels, but we are looking to stay in an apartment type of hotel/inn/etc if possible, near Plaza Navona. Do any of you have any recommendations? Thank you!
  9. We are considering just hanging out in Villefranche for the day since it's a tender port and we really aren't interested in any of the excursions. However the town looks pretty small so i wasn't sure if there would be very many shops, restaurants, etc? I've heard there is a nice market on Sundays (which is when we will be there). Has anyone been? Thanks for any and all info!
  10. This is great Jazzbo! Thank you for submitting your review! And your beautiful pictures We will be stopping in Santa Margherita on our trip next fall - it sounds like it is a good town to wander around and eat lunch and shop? I would appreciate your thoughts. And i'm looking forward to the rest of your review - thank you agian!
  11. Hi @Jazzbo! Curious if you or anyone on your cruise did a review of your cruise? I have been looking for one as we are taking this next September. Thank you!
  12. Ok, cool - thank you! Always good to know. We have not sailed on Princess previously, but may in the next year. Like so many others, we are looking around to see if we can find another line that has everything we like. We are not keen on the large crowded ones - we prefer the smaller more intimate or medium size at most. Thanks again!
  13. Hi abbydancer! Curious as to why you wouldn't do Princess again? Thank you!
  14. Has anyone stayed at HiSuiteROME? It is like a hotel, but apartments. Very curious as they look great and see to be in a great location. Would work very well for us. Thank you!
