Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Hi LargeNegroni: I have started a roll call for this cruise. There are currently three of us on it. You might want to join. Thanks for the information. Looks like the two currently offered by Cunard are the tram in Trondheim and the North Cape coach in Honningsvag. Will look at the cost if we buy separately on those.
  2. Thanks for the information. Unfortunately Tom’s only has Bergen and Kristiansand. What’sinport doesn’t have Norway ports as far as I can tell.
  3. We are not the super mingling type either but do enjoy meeting new friends. See you on the roll call.
  4. My friend and I are booked on the North Cape Queen Victoria. We have cruised on many lines and are just tired of the chaos, noise, and abundance of heavy drinking on so many other ships. We are looking forward to a more sedate time on Cunard. I have only sailed once before on Cunard, a transatlantic on the Queen Elizabeth. I remember particularly enjoying the dressing up, and even formal evenings on other cruises are not adhered to by most passengers. We also are very interested in culture and educational talks, which I am expecting will be more in depth and perhaps more abundant on the QV. If you book on this cruise, I have created a Roll Call. So far no one has joined it, but I think that might be an indication of the more sedate style of Cunard.
  5. I'm hoping that those of you who are familiar with the fjords might be able to give me some advice. Next June we are on the Queen Victoria with this itinerary. Although I have tried researching and looking on this forum, I don't find a lot of information on these ports. I am finding the places we are visiting are not the ones that most ships call at, so I'm looking for advice on whether private tours are feasible and also what companies might offer them. Thanks so much for any help.

  6. Thank you that does help. I have been advised to place this posting in the Norwegian Fjords thread, so I will do that.

Although I have tried researching and looking on this forum, I don't find a lot of information on these ports. I am assuming that the last three "ports of call" are not really that and are cruising in the fjords. I am finding the places we are visiting are not the ones that most ships call at, so I'm looking for advice on whether private tours are feasible and also what companies might offer them.

  8. I am booked on the North Cape Cruise starting on June 6 2023 with Cunard on the Queen Victoria. We liked the fact that it is 11 days and it goes up to the very top of Norway into the North Cape.
  9. Does anyone have any experience in the Deck 4 Princess Grill Cabins on Queen Victoria (or Elizabeth as I think they are the same). I know that the balconies are larger, but I'm wondering about noise from the floor below and whether there is an obstructed view due to the lifeboats. There are cabins available on both 4 and 5 and I'd love a bit bigger balcony but not at the cost of other concerns. Thanks so much.
  10. Roscoe would you happen to have that layout for the Princess Grill cabin 5094 on QV? We have that booked and I'm wondering what that layout is like with the rounded balcony. Thanks so much.
