Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Thanks. Seems we have a good idea of the area we should stay. We'll pinpoint a hotel in the Central Station area
  2. Hi Denny... we sail June 6, 2023. Then we're doing the back-2-back Norway cruise following Iceland. I'm making note of all these recommendations for hotels. We're pretty strong walkers so being within walking distance of highlights would be great. I'll check out the roll call.
  3. Thanks. Less is more might work since we're doing a back-2-back... first to Iceland and then the Norway fjords. We might very well be travel-worn by the end of it. To be honest, I'm not overly interested in schlepping around cities. 😔 and I'd rather spend more time in Bruges and Amsterdam than Paris. (sorry Paris)
  4. That's a good point. I guess we have to scope out the area. We've never been to Europe. We thought there might be a scenic route and my husband thought he'd like to check out some of the Canadian National Vimy Memorial in France and maybe spend a day or 2 in Bruges. We'll check out the trains and see if we can schedule those stops.
  5. Thanks so much for all this advice. Location is everything so being close to transportation is a plus. It would be really handy if we could get Celebrity to do the transfers the morning of the cruise. That's a time saver. We'll ask when we call. Flights are a worry too. We can't fly too many places direct from Halifax, NS and we'd really like to avoid Toronto but maybe by next year the airlines and airports will have their acts together. We may fly into Paris, tour around there and then rent a car and drive to Amsterdam.
  6. I've got a few questions I hope somebody can help with. 1. What hotel would Celebrity likely put us in if we were to book a pre-cruise hotel through them? 2. What dock do the Edge Class ships usually dock at? The one downtown or the one on the coast? We're starting to look at our options for this cruise next year. Trying to figure out if we should book our own flights and pre-cruise accommodations or let them look after it for us, since they'd probably include transfers as well. Or should we go it alone get our own flights and find an Airbnb someplace. We've never been to Amsterdam so know nothing about the best areas to stay in. So any advice would be welcomed.
