Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Do we need to order the tickets in advance or would a week early work? Is there an app you recommend such as Omio? Thanks so much!
  2. We arrive in Chioggia. Would it be preferable to take a train to Florence from Padua or Rovigo? We intend to take a van to the selected train stations.
  3. SORRY, I goofed! The end airport is SFO for a precise visit to San Francisco before departing from San Pedro. We have the SFO to LAX flight.
  4. We are headed from SDF to LAX next Winter. We can connect at IAH, MSP, DEN or DTW. Is IAH the best choice to avoid weather related cancellations?
  5. Thanks for the valuable info. Where do you do breakfast? Is the Doubletree breakfast worth getting? Or is there a breakfast place near by?
  6. We are staying in Torrance pre-cruise. Does anyone have advice based on experience to help us decide between the Marriott Redondo Beach or the Torrance DoubleTree? Both have very similar ratings. Thanks
  7. Typically are fares lower when first released or closer to departure. One can’t do both!
  8. What is your strategy for finding deals on first class domestic flights?
  9. So sorry for your loss. I hate to read stories like this. Based on Andy’s post above, what you were told is legally correct. I just wish someone would have some compassion and work with you on a win-win resolution. A fair ending will make you a customer for life! I would email tellus@viking.com. They do have some sympathetic souls. I believe one will get back to you. Good luck and keep us posted!
  10. I think you will do great. People just do their own thing on Viking. It is very rare we hear people acting or speaking with an attitude of entitlement which we uncomfortably experienced on a luxury line. So for whom is a Viking cruise best suited? People who want to experience the world with people who are fun, curious, and like delicious food and wine on ships that are brilliantly designed.
  11. The other issue to factor is the stress and expense should something go wrong and you miss the ship’s departure. Normally things work out but when they don’t it can be a colossal stressor.
  12. Israel is among the easiest countries in the world to visit if one has a special diet. They are accustomed to people having a special diet (eg kosher). I have traveled to Israel with people who are vegan, vegetarian, diabetic, and mega fussy with little difficulty.
  13. We are doing a week post-cruise in Paris and are looking for a nice but not fancy hotel in the Marais District. We prefer a hotel with a restaurant. Thanks
  14. I think the OP is concerned a country may require a booster s/he, they have not received and not be allowed in a country.
  15. Thanks. I was thinking some might be thinking: "Ok Boomer!" but most of us are Boomers! I'm just a sheltered Boomer!
