Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Malta has a lot to see. Valletta is worth a walk round, or visit the war time tunnels. Mdina is also worth a visit.
  2. Go to Istanbul. A massive city, teeming with people. From the ship you can watch all the ferries swarming to their various destinations along the Bosphorus. Cruise ships berth near the Golden Horn area with all the major sites - Aga Sophia, Blue Mosque, cisterns, Topkapi Palace and Grand Bazaar. It is easy to walk or get a tram over Galata Bridge and do exploring on foot. Kusadasi lets you take a tour to Ephasus, which is very intesting. If you arrive a day or two early in Athens you can explore the acropolis and Parthanon and the other ancient sites. Option 2 for me!
  3. We did a ship tour to Cinque Terre from La Spezia in July, off of Edge. Coach from ship to railway station, then train to one of the villages. Had a guided tour and time for lunch. Then a small boat down the coast to see the other villages before landing at Portovene for a brief tour, then coach back to ship. it was a very enjoyable day. Lots of steps!
  4. Are your bookings ‘linked’? as I understand things, you can only make reservations for your own booking or other linked bookings.
  5. EST. I am on GMT and I checked in at 5.30am GMT on the first day check in was available.
  6. If you have an existing ESTA from a previous trip to USA you can amend the address for your arrival in USA. Just log in to your ESTA account. As indicated ESTA valid for 2 years as long as you retain same passport.
  7. A quick Google seach will find you lots.
  8. We have a similar challenge with a 9:30 pm flight. Ship offers 2 tours (swamps or HOHO bus) but still arrive at MIA early afternoon. Our current plan is to get a day room in a hotel on South Beach until about 5pm the taxi to MIA. Out holiday "package" includes transfer to MIA from ship - tht is likely to be at 9am. So we may take the transfer to MIA then taxi to day hotel. Im interested in others' views on your question.
  9. Our cruise line - Celebrity - offers two excursions which end at MIA. One is a swamp boat trip, the other a circuit of the HOHO bus in Miami.
  10. No. We booked different times and different MDRs on different nights. Sometimes on the app sometimes by phone in the morning.
  11. I was on Edge in July 2023. We booked for the MDRs most evenings. These bookings were honoured. At busy times there were 2 queues, those with reservations and those without. I have bookings for Feb 24 on Apex and I expect these to be honoured. There must be many people making bookings as there are not many slots left.
  12. Like you, we have a late flight out of MIA after disembarkation. We are looking at a number of day rooms (lots available on internet) with pre-arranged private transfers.
  13. I logged on to my account on a PC and made reservations for MDRs for my Feb 24 cruise on Apex. They then show up on the app in the calendar.
  14. Stick to their rules, as you would expect them to do if they visited your country. Whjy not buy locally when off the ship?
  15. We are on Apex in February. We have made reservations in different MDRs for each night. By the shortage of slots it looks like many others have as well. on Edge in August they were taking reservations.
