Hi Anni,

Four of us (all adults) will arrive Rostock on Pullmantur Monarch on Aug. 12 at 8am and will leave at 8pm.

Any suggestions as to what to do from 9am to 7pm?

We don't want to venture to Berlin.

We may go to Rostock City Centre, Schwerin Castle and Molli train.

Can these be done in our restricted time (9am-7pm) and how?

We are open to suggestions as this is the first time for us visiting Germany.

Thanks.

The ships tour in Norwegian kroner is around 740 so the price difference is 350 kroner so I would say that it has to be a very good lunch :)

 

And I assume that the price difference is even higher because you need to transport yourself to that place.

Both prices include the boat ride to Flor og Fjaere.

Can anyone who had been to Flor og Fjaere give some advice?:confused:

The ship is offering an excursion for 79 euro. It's 2:30 hrs without lunch.

If we book directly with Flor og Fjaere, it's Nok 1,090 for 5 hours with lunch.

Which one would you choose?

Hello Lars,

Thanks for the useful info.

It helps a lot.

Cheers.

Hello Lars,

Thanks for the beautiful pictures of Alesund. I'm sure I'll be there.

I'm going on a cruise to Flam, Geiranger, Alesund, Eidfjord and Stavanger in Aug.

I have some questions and hopefully you can shed some lights.

1. Is any any excursion that can bring us to the glacier? From which port?

2. We are taking a cruise. Isn't taking a fjord excursion to see the fjord a duplicate experience of the sail in and sail out of the ship?

3. Which port will be the best to go on a RIB?

4. If we rent a car, which port is the best to rent a car for about 8 hours, Geiranger, Alesund or Eidfjord?

Thanks so much and I appreciate your help.

Hi LondonTowner and mhb1757,

Thanks a lot for the reply with useful info.

I did look up the ports' websites and came up with the above questions.

Hopefully someone can shed some light on questions #1, #2, #4 and #5.

My cruise will stop at the above ports in August 5-10. It's a group of 4.

1. Is there any excursion that will bring us to the glacier?

Would you know from which port?

2. We are taking a cruise, isn't taking a fjord excursion to see the fjord a duplicate experience of the sail in and sail out of the cruise ship?

3. we booked the Flam train but quite confused as to what else to do.

4. If we go on a RIB, which port will have the best scenery?

5. If we rent a car, which port is the most convenient to rent and fully utilize the car for 6-8 hours?

Any recommendation is welcome.

Anyone booked shore excursions through this company?

They seem to be about half price of what the ship offer.

I'm looking at their excursions for Norwegian Fjords.

Please share your experience if you can.

Thanks a lot.:)

Thanks.

Do Emerald members get any free Internet minutes?

I'm a diamond travelling with an emerald, we'll have 3 sea days.

We may not need to buy a package if Emerald has some free Internet minutes.

I think Diamond members will get 24 hours of free Internet.

Do Emerald members get any?

Any discount towards buying an internet package for Diamond members?

Thanks.

let's reference this map

 

 

https://www.portcanaveral.com/PortCanaveral/media/Cruise-Assets/2016%20Images/10188-CAFR-Dev-Map-with-fonts.pdf

 

EPIC uses T-10 on the north or A side .... you are not allowed to walk over the bridge back to the 'mainland' SO ..... you got's to hire a ride to get anywhere ..... as your group is 8 you will almost certainly need 2 taxi .... but you might get lucky with a van (or friendly by sitting in each other's lap)

 

If all you want to consume is 2 - 4 hours (and you don't mention what time of the year) I would simply take a taxi(s) to GRILLS {or Fishlips or Rustys} which are all restaurants 'in the port's Cove area (see the map) ..... you can libate and have a nice meal. I prefer Grills

 

Lion Fish app' at Grills

 

 

Or ... you can ask to be dropped at Jetty Park if you want a lil beach time (see the same map)

 

Or take taxi to Cocoa Beach Pier ..... a bit farther away

Hi Capt_BJ,

Would you know which Terminal will Anthem of the Seas dock at?

Thanks so much.

Thanks for taking your time to write this long reply.

I'm sure cruisers will appreciate your helpful hints and notes.

Hi f9ers55,

Thanks a lot for your comprehensive reply.

It'seems really helpful.

Wishing you a wonderful 2017!

What are the theme nights?

May be I can pack accordingly.:)

Is it from 3-7pm, food is only available from the pizzeria and room service?

Thanks a lot.

Thanks for the detailed review.

I have booked Monarch for August and am really looking forward to it.

Are there shows nightly? Are they in Spanish?

Can you elaborate about the food on board?

Is it the same buffet itrms everyday for breakfast and lunch?

Is specialty coffee (espresso, latte etc.) served in the dining room?

Thanks a lot in advance.

My trans-Atlantic cruise on Harmony of the Seas will arrive Palma de Mallorca on Monday.

I'll be back to the ship at 1:30 PM. after the Drach excursion.

The market closes at 2:30pm. Is it enough time to go to the market for some tapas or just browsing? If yes, what's the best way to go from the port?

Thanks so much.

Thanks a lot for the helpful tips.

I have to take the Alamo shuttle from Port Everglade to FLL after I disembark from Harmony. Would you know where is the pick up at Port Everglade ? Thanks.

Two of us are getting off from Harmony of the Seas on Nov. 6.

Is it enough time to go to Greyhound Ft. Lauderdale (4 miles away from Port Everglades) and take the 8:20am coach to Orlando?

After arriving at Greyhound Orlando, where can I get a rental car for 2 days and drop off the rental car at the airport MCO?

Thanks a lot in advance.

I'll be on board Harmony for the 13-night trans-Atlantic cruise on Oct. 23 - Nov. 5, 2016.

Being a diamond member, I was offered some free internet minutes before.

Do they still have this offer? or any discount towards buying the internet package?

Can I buy the internet package only for a few days of the cruise?

Thanks in advance.

That's a very good idea! Really appreciate it.

I may not do it on Dec. 13 when I leave PE as I can get a late disembark and head directly to MIA to go aboard Celebrity Reflection.

I'll consider a rental car on Dec. 20 when I disembark at POM as my flight from MIA is at 4pm.

Do you know if I can get a rental at POM and return it at MIA?

I was thinking to join the HOHO excursion with MIA drop off from Celebrity Reflection on Dec. 20. It's $120 for 2 persons.

Now a rental car sounds better.

Thanks a lot for the helpful info.

I'll check the shared shuttle as I have plenty of time after debarkation.

Thanks for the replies.

Is the shuttle from Port Everglades to POM?

I prefer not to take a cab to FLL, then a shuttle to POM.

I'll be getting off Oasis of the Seas on Dec. 13 at Port Everglade.

What's the best way for a party of two to go to Port of Miami to get on Celebrity Reflection on the same day?

Thanks.
