Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I just logged in to my Mariner Account and can't seem to look at tours for my upcoming cruises. It also shows 0 credits on my account and should be 600+ credits. Is anyone else having problems with their account?
  2. That looks like an amazing itinerary. We just did a cruise on the Westerdam 26 days Seattle to Yokohama and I'm sorry we didn't stay on until Singapore. It was amazing.
  3. Where did you find this itinerary? Do you know the date? I couldn't find it anywhere.
  4. We had rain in the morning when we arrived to Yokohama but it stopped in the afternoon. The weather was really good in all our other ports. Some days were cool but comfortable and we had some days near 80 degrees. There was a tropical depression in the Pacific so we sailed the Bering Sea to avoid most of the big seas. I thought we'd have big seas but the crossing was pretty comfortable.
  5. We had a lovely cruise from Seattle to Japan in October this year on the Westerdam. I can see that Noordam is sailing from Vancouver to Asia Fall 2024. Does anyone have any idea what ship is doing that route in 2025 and what is the stating port? I'm hoping for Seattle.
  6. You're really fortunate to see bubble feeding. The tour companies always show photos of it but I guess it's pretty rare. What company did you use for the tour?
  7. I took a tour on April 17, 2023 with Horizon Private Hire. I know private tour companies are hard to find for the port of Dover. We've used him in the past and enjoyed it enough that we booked for this year and were really happy that we did. We shared the tour with two couples from our cruise critic roll call and everyone had a fantastic time. The tour that I chose went to Canterbury Cathedral (Gary Price is probably the only private guide allowed to guide inside the Cathedral.) You pay for the service directly to the Cathedral. We also visited Dover Castle and had a nice walk along the White Cliffs of Dover. I would rank him as one of the top guides we've ever used. The vehicle is very comfortable for 6.
  8. We've found that Holland America passengers are generally very kind and open to conversations with other passengers. I think this may be due to our senior population.
  9. We are on the August 19, 2023 Rotterdam cruise with stops in Oslo and Kristiansand. I just booked tours for those ports today through Shore Excursions Group. HAL didn't have an English speaking walking tour for Oslo so I booked Historic Oslo with City Hall with Shore Excursions Group. I also booked for Kristiansand a tour called Visit Kristiansand. That tour visits the Vest Agder Cultural Heritage Museum and several other places. Tour costs seem to be a better value than HAL. The cancel policy is 14 days before the tour or you can take out the insurance. We also booked our own tickets for the Flam Railway with Norway's Best. If you book it direct be sure to book the round trip ticket.
  10. I believe that Celebrity's non refundable policy changed March 2, 2023. Bookings made before that date are grandfathered with the old policy but any new bookings will lose the entire deposit when you cancel.
  11. Thank you but Rotterdam isn't the same class of ship. I'm sure people would like to see photos on halfacts though.
