Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Thank you for the link. The Hop On Hop Off bus might work for us.
  2. I heard taxis were about A$45-55 from the airport to downtown. We arrive on a Saturday morning. Should we expect less traffic going into downtown at that time?
  3. We will be on a cruise that ends in Freemantle with an overnight before we disembark. We would like to go to Rottnest Island for the day. The problem is that I am still recovering from a torn tendon in my ankle. I have worked hard with PT to get up to walking about 2 km but not much more than that. I can’t ride bikes nor snorkel with fins. When I look at options for the visit, I am a bit overwhelmed. Can anyone suggest a plan for the day that would be a nice lazy visit that wouldn’t require too much walking. Thanks!
  4. It seems like they are rotating more frequently. In Sept Capt. Korona was on Journey. In November it was Capt Filip and now in January it is Capt Korona again. I’m am assuming he will stay at least through February unless someone has heard otherwise.
  5. Additional question… Now that I’ve decided to not try to leave the ship early, I have new questions. If we book a flight that leaves Perth earlier and then have an overnight 12 hr layover in Melbourne, can I assume the following?… 1)our checked luggage will be checked on through to our destination and we will only have access to our carryon in Melbourne 2) we can leave the terminal and check in at the Park Royal hotel overnight (across the street.) 3) when we return to the terminal we only need to go through security as I assume we are issued both boarding passes in Perth) I’ve never had this long of a layover and it only makes sense if you get to take advantage of those hours. But am I missing some pitfalls
  6. Thank you everyone! There has been some good advice here. We are flying home from Perth and I have to accept it’s just going to be a very long arduous trip. We have decided not to leave early and enjoy our last day in port. I’d like to say that I have a much better appreciation for the effort the Aussies must go through in their travels to the US and Europe.
  7. That’s what worries me… “probably” doesn’t work when you have a flight booked that requires early departure from the ship. This is the Australia intensive cruise so the entire cruise is in the same country. I would think that would make it easier. I’d rather email and get their answer in writing but I could only find a phone number for US passengers.
  8. Thanks. Now if I can get a correct answer from them. They don’t have a great record lately.
  9. To get home from our cruise with the fewest flight stopovers possible, we will have to book a departure flight late in the evening… around 11pm. Since we have an overnight in our debarkation port, we thought it might make sense to leave the ship the night before and go directly to the airport for the late night flight. Has anyone done this? Is it allowed? Do you just notify guest services and do a walk off? Any information is appreciated.
  10. I am in the same position. I booked two excursions on the website but didn’t pay for them. With all the OBC problems, I’m hoping they will hold these bookings until we are on board. If nothing else it tells them we want to be on it. No guarantees this will work but it was better than doing nothing I think.
  11. So let me get this straight…. I can only get an Experience More package once I board the ship if I plan to pay for it with OBC, correct? We have enough OBC for the Experience More Enjoyment package and will get $500 excursion with that package. But we can’t book the excursions we want until we board and have paid for the package…and by then the excursions may be full. Sounds like a Catch-22. It makes no sense. What is the rationale? The rep I spoke to made it sound like I was trying to pull a fast one… using credit to buy more credit! She said the packages could only be paid for with cash on credit. I didn’t believe that so glad I can at least pay with OBC when we get on board.
  12. Anyone know when the captain rotates off? Hoping after our Sept trip.
  13. Here is where Pursuit was docked a few days ago.
  14. We will be in Seville for a day and a half in Sept. I’ve been debating doing a self guided Alcazar tour or paying for an independent guided tour of both Alcazar or the cathedral. Does the “self guided” part come with the Alcazar tickets you booked beforehand or is it an extra? My DH wears hearing aids that bluetooth to his phone. If he downloaded the self-guided audio, could he listen that way? How long did the self-guided tour take?
