  1. They nominated pretty much every new show as they need to fill the categories. The reviews weren't great and my friend who saw it wasn't impressed. So many Good to Great shows out there right now
  2. Reviews were generally Meh to Ugh on that.
  3. You might want to consider a land vacation as well, to get to know the country better. Driving in Iceland is easy, unless the winds are like what my friend @ljandgb experienced
  4. We've seen all 3. We like Neil Diamond songs but didn't think the story was interesting at all. We did enjoy the other two, although we saw Julie in Funny Girl instead of Lea.
  5. Rockport in Mass? Extremely walkable if you want to see Rockport. If you want to go elsewhere please tell us
  6. It isn't a long walk to the Silver Line transit that takes you to South Station where you are on the Greenway and right up against the downtown Harborwalk.
  7. For 4 people folks generally find a cab is easier than one of the bus services and usually costs a bit less, too.
  8. What ports, specifically? I don't see the value in us giving suggestions on places you aren't going to be visiting.
  9. All those places. Why stop at one? In Boston you can walk to Yankee Lobster easily, to James Hook a bit less easily, or take transit to Belle Isle, for the best lobster roll south of Maine
  10. You might want to contact your travel agent or the cruiseline to see if they know what they will be using for tenders there. Could be the lifeboats, could be local boats.
  11. Some ships provide shuttles to town, some don't. Hotels in Reykjavik are mostly in the same area but not all are in the central area, so with the info you have given I don't think we can answer your question. I'd inquire about Holland's practices on their board. You can always take a taxi in Reykjavik or ask the tour provider how they suggest you get to the pickup point. I'm surprised a private tour wouldn't meet at the ship, though BTW, sunset is 10:30 in early August in Reykjavik, moving up to 8:50PM by the end of the month
  12. It is much more than "an old house". It's a full mansion with a world class collection of art from the greatest artists ever. At least read the Wikipedia article about it and the theft before you go, it will really add to the experience
  13. It is not uncommon later in the season for winds to be strong, like in September. There have been strong winds in western Iceland the past few days that may have caused issues with docking or tendering. I don't think there is any website that tracks this kind of thing, it can happen anywhere you are cruising. We've missed ports from Italy to Antarctica due to winds.
  14. Guessing the OP is a sailor based on the language!
  15. depends on the cruise and cruiseline. No hard and fast rule. Call your travel agent or the cruiseline and ask if there will be a shuttle. Or check your Roll call. Or hope for a shuttle but have a Plan B ready in case there isn't one.
  16. Not sure who the "A" company is, but Dial 7 and Carmel are recommended here constantly and I don't recall many folks coming back with complaints
  17. We got sunburned in Iceland once and then we wisened up
  18. No doubt, but such a cute airport, and you can walk to Toronto for a short visit without worrying about distances and time
  19. I've done that walk dozens of times. On a hot day you can mostly do it right along the Harbor and the air is refreshing and the views of the airport and ships is fantastic. Lots of shops and restaurants en route to check out, too.
  20. Porter is a great option. The airport you change at is tiny and the planes are very comfortable
  21. I would grab a cab. Or better yet. I would plan my flight to be after noon. NYC has bad traffic and that could stop your bus or car in it's tracks for some time
  22. Taxi or uber is going to be easiest. Taxis are on the meter so if you go in heavy traffic times it will cost more than off peak
  23. Other than the local bus in Reykjavik and maybe a pay toilet or two, you'll never need cash in Iceland
  24. Why not park at the Cruise Terminal itself? Nothing more convenient and the price is reasonable as far as NYC parking goes
