Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Yes, that is what I meant. Thanks for clarifying.
  2. We did a NZ cruise in 2020, just before COVID hit. We took the shuttle to Zealandia and went on a tour. I use a walker so they provided a scooter. We wanted to take the cable car back down but there was a sign on the cable car - cash only, local currency. We had only credit cards. We had to walk back down thru the gardens. Husband said it was nice, I was too busy working the walker's brakes so I didn't go over it. Just wanted to give you a heads up.
  3. We were in Sydney just before/as COVID hit. We walked along the OPT towards the Opera House. We found a wine store that was very helpful and had both cheap and expensive wines. I can't remember which Quay but my husband thinks it was the 2nd or 3rd from where the ship was. We used it for the cruise to NZ and again for the circumnavigation of AU. Unfortunately the 2nd cruise was stopped after 3 days when everything shut down. We will be going back next Jan/Feb and will try to find the store again.
  4. Well, I finally got my notes all written up. Thanks Rick for your post. We were on the Northern Lights after this one so my notes are long. We were on deck 5 and never saw any tables during the 5 times we did laundry. I had heard (I think from someone who was on the previous cruise) that they had a lot of COVID and were restricting things. But most of those got off so it was just down to masks at the buffet. By the end of the next cruise even the dining staff showed their faces. There was still some on board but not that bad. For us, we are double vaccinated, triple boosted and had it during the 2nd half of May. We weren't worried. Here's our story 24 Day Cruise-Adventures.odt
  5. We just got back from our In Search of the Northern Lights for 2022. There is a tour called Fjord Cruise Lysefjord & Preikestolen. You can book via the ship, Viator or directly. DO NOT book directly. They will not refund your money if the ship doesn't make port. Our captain canceled the port call the night before due to a need to out run a storm. Those passengers who booked via Princess or Viator got a refund. I booked directly but was refused a refund.
  6. Thank you most sincerely for answering all my questions. I had just read that Channel Islands have their own currency. Looking forward to seeing the UK.
  7. We will be coming into Heathrow and staying at the Premier Inn T4. Where is the best place (ATM) to get some currency for spending/tipping? I couldn't find an email for the hotel to ask them. Will the pounds I get be useable in other areas of the UK? Thanks in advance.
