  1. Good to know....we'll be there in November 2024. Will check out her site
  2. Oceania Riviera will be there in November 2024
  3. May I ask where you saw the walk off ship charge so I can show my husband? We will be there next November. Thanks
  4. For Robben Island.....we did that tour a few years ago. I booked it online. We were close enough to walk to the dock. Once you get on the island the tours then were run by former inmates. Fantastic tour. You don't need a private guide.
  5. We'll be in luderitz in December 2024. Just starting my research. Have former colleagues who are now working in Namibia so I'm hoping they can give some advice
  6. We were in Mindelo just before Covid and will be there again in November. We did a tour with a local company called Green Line Tours. Was really good. I noticed on the website that the owners collect school supplies for needy children. Brought a big bag of stuff along. Pablo (the husband) stopped at a small village for me to hand out stuff. I'm going to check if they are still in business.....btw.....if you are a golfer, check out the golf course. Totally grassless.
  7. We are going to be in Lome in November....just starting my research. Check out What's In Port Lome. According to this site, there should be shuttle busses from port to the City Market. There's also a small map showing what's in the area.
  8. My memory is quite good. Maybe some "premium rooms" have tv. We did not have one nor did 2 other couples we hung out with when we were there. We all sat around discussing that.
  9. We were in Waterford last August. Couldn't find a cab. Wanted to go to the village we used to live in. Luckily the Waterford glass company had a free bus running into town so wectok that. Btw..we loved go to the Rock of Cashel and going to one of my favorite restaurants...Chez Hans
  10. We stayed at the Moxy in Southampton last August. Location was superb. Walk out the front door, turn left to corner and cross the street...you are at the gigantmall. About a 10 min walk to train station (to Bath) for us overweight 75 year olds. Moxy for me was different from other hotels. Tiny room. No closet..hooks. No TV. No telephone. Very clean and quiet. But was fine for 2 nights. 5 min cab ride to cruise terminal.
  11. We were in Portland last August on Oceania Vista. Did a great tour with a company called Dorset Tours. They offered several to choose from. About 20 in our group. Very reasonably priced. We the mandatory bus from Port about 3 minutes where we were met
  12. If you need a restaurant in Ushaia, Tante Nina in town is very good
  13. Might want to ask Princess.....
  14. We took the National Express Coach. Was easy once we figured out that the bus says what the LAST stop is and doesn't say Southampton. We each had a wheeled suitcase and backpack.
  15. So glad you liked Dewa. He really is wonderful!
  16. Did our first Vista cruise in August. Have been on all the other O ships. I didn't care for the in house shows at all. Not wild about the voices or staging. There was a kind of big ball from the old days that hung from top of center stage and sent out blasts of light. Very annoying. On the other hand, the special performers brought onboard were excellent. Just my opinion
  17. IN kirkwall..... See-orkney.co.uk Family run. we had a wonderful day. Lorna pick up 5 of us....we went all over....
  18. We took the coach in August. Deflate the option for changing your bus time...it's £5ppmore. Our Tuesday flight was cancelled 3 days before. We had to find a new flight....different arrival...different terminal. As phabric pointed out the front of the bus lists the FINAL stop not Southampton. Trip was fine.
  19. His email trainaticon.co.cn Don't know if he has a vehicle big enough...you can ask. Dave Train He was superb. I think we had him for 4 days. Recommit to friends...they absolutely loved him
  20. We stayed at Moxy in August. Walk out the front door and turn left. Walk to corner and cross the street. You will see the mall in front of you. Walk up the little hill to the mall door. Inside look for M&S and Waitrose which is Inside John Lewis store. Under 5 min walk to west quay mall. ASDA was on our way walking from Moxyy to train station. Ask at Moxy desk. A 5 min walk.
  21. We took national express coach from Heathrow to Southampton in August. Nobody weighed bags. We gave the driver our bags and he put them inside the luggage compartment on the bus
