Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. New PUP survey is interesting. Would like them to status match on Silverseas!
  2. We won’t make it. Scenic have told us that it’s still impassable. Doesn’t make much difference to us as we fly from Munich on weds but the guest going to Nuremberg will have a longer journey. Bussing to Regensburg tomorrow, which is a short ride and have the added bonus of a few hours in Passau
  3. We are currently on the Scenic Amber and have docked at Linz today (from Melk) we are supposed to dock in Regensburg tomorrow but there’s a very strong chance that we will end the trip at Passau as the river is still too high. we have been extremely lucky and mostly unaffected by the high waters. There are a lot of trees still underwater with large branches as debris in the water.
  4. My brother is also on this cruise! So VAT is added to the VAT 🤷‍♀️
  5. We've literally just stepped off a Celebrity cruise and never encountered this?
  6. but it doesn't even mention this on new bookings going forward. Someone had an email stating Spanish ports...but it's clearly extending beyond those now
  7. I disagree....If CC knew, then NCL must have also known that this would be introduced or maybe they should start following CC?
  8. Sorry, but it's more of a transparency problem. NCL should be emailing people in advance rather than letting the poor staff onboard deal with the aftermath!
  9. Yep, my brother has just boarded in Marseille and is being charged too. They've had enough time to email their clients but haven't? We've just come back from a Celebrity sailing and never had any VAT added...cruising Italy, Greece and Spain. These cruise lines need to be clearer as their drinks prices are already ridiculously priced!
  10. Thank you for posting the review. Like you, we are doing are first ever river cruise in Dec (same itinerary and ship) but adding some Christmas markets. We have also opted for the Marriott extension (this was cheaper booking with Scenic than doing it directly) We've sailed with Celebrity, Viking, NCL etc....but all have been ocean cruises. Glad you enjoyed yourselves.
  11. Thank you, I thought I read $550 but never got to the booking stage
  12. Thank you. It’s hard to know if it’s a good price as we’ve never really looked at Aza before but compared to Celebrity, it seems ok! I think we only have NRD of $550 pp, so cancelling isn’t really an option. the other one we’d considered is Oceania but they don’t have the itinerary that we’d like
  13. Thank you all for the help and insights 🙂 I think the UK price seems similar to the US price (as we don't have a great exchange rate with the rest of the world at the moment) The free upgrade looks to be on 2024 but saying that, the 2025 prices look slightly lower (although there is no exact comparative to our cruise itinerary) I think if the ship was larger, last minute in the UK usually gets a better price but as Azamara has smaller ships, I'd imagine that they fill up quicker? Again, thanks for your help and as the itinerary is just what we are looking for, I may just go ahead and book now 🙂
