Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Your advice is well noted! Will definitely take my time to appreciate the USS Midway tour. By the way, do we need to purchase the tickets online or can we purchase the tickets on the day of?
  2. LuAnn - very sorry for the loss of your husband Kenneth. With the USS Midway considered as the #1 tourist destination in San Diego, I should try to spend the majority of our day there instead of running all over town. Will try to fit in the Petco Tour as it isn't too far from the Midway.
  3. LuAnn...Thank you for your suggestions and info about the location of the older memorials. Fort Rosecrans looks like a beautiful place to visit. I'm trying to fit this into our itinerary as we plan to visit the USS Midway first thing in the morning. So many things to see with so little time.
  4. Thank you. Will look at the 'San Diego private tours' to see what's offered.
  5. Yes, I agree. Most likely the cab option will not be cheap, especially when our Canadian dollar is so low compared to the US Dollar. Thank you.
  6. Wondering if anyone has taken a taxi from San Diego cruise terminal to Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery. Is it easy to get to by taxi and how much would the round trip cost? I hoping to hire a taxi to give us a tour. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
  7. Mmmm.. I love your suggestions on what to eat at Oracle Park, especially the clam chowder in a sourdough bowl. As for my husband, he will try to eat everything listed here. This will probably be our one and only visit to Oracle Park, so for sure we will indulge. If we feel safe enough after the game, maybe we can walk back to our cruise terminal. Thanks so much for your suggestions.
  8. I'll check out the Muni Metro train schedule. This will probably work for us (to and from the game). Thank you.
  9. We will be on the Emerald Princess and staying overnight in SF. I'm a very good walker and 2.2 miles one way won't be much of a problem to head over to Oracle Park. I'm more concerned about getting back to the ship after the game (eg. will there be enough cabs available at the stadium). Was planning to do the stadium tour until we found out about game night on June 19th. Appreciate your help.
  10. Our cruise ship will be in San Francisco overnight on June 19th and we would love to take in the San Francisco Giants game. What is the best mode of transportation to and from the game? We can probably take a taxi to the game but just wondering how it easy it would be get a taxi after the game. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
  11. Thanks for the tip to download the App before we get to LAX. We've never used Uber or any ride share programs so this will be a first for us.
  12. Thank you lx200GPS for the information and the hyperlink to Uber. I've never used Uber before so I will be a 'newbie' to this. And yes we will be flying in via Air Canada so good to know that we can't catch a taxi or Uber at our terminal. Thank you ruready for your reply too! Great to know that we'll have no problem getting an Uber or Lyft ride at LAX and that we don't need to book ahead of time.
  13. We're flying into LAX a day before our cruise therefore no Princess Shuttle transfers available. Do we need to book ahead for UBER or Lyft from LAX? Or will we able to find one when we arrive at LAX? We need transportation for 4 to the Crowne Plaza in San Pedro. Thanks in advance.
  14. Hotels in downtown Vancouver are quite pricey. You might want to consider staying at the Hampton Inn by Hilton Vancouver-Airport/Richmond Hampton Inn. There is a airport shuttle to transport you to the hotel. The hotel is within walking distance to the Skytrain station. The Skytrain will bring you directly to downtown Vancouver and also to the cruise ship terminal. https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/yvrrhhx-hampton-vancouver-airport-richmond/ Here are a few hotels within Richmond, BC that you might want to look at: River Rock Casino Hotel - you can take the Skytrain directly from Vancouver airport to the hotel https://riverrock.com/ Hilton Vancouver Airport Hotel - I think there is an airport shuttle for this hotel. This hotel is about 4 blocks away from the Skytrain station. Lots of restaurants in this area. Also across the street from the Richmond Centre Shopping mall. https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/yvrahhf-hilton-vancouver-airport/ Executive Hotel Vancouver Airport - Airport shuttle for this hotel. Distance to the Skytrain station a bit further than the Hilton Vancouver Airport. https://www.executivehotels.net/vancouver-airport-hotel/ Good luck. Hope you'll find a hotel that works for your schedule.
