Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. https://rubenshotel.com/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=local&utm_campaign=hotel-the-rubens-at-the-palace Stayed here the week of the Coronation, older Hotel, but within walking distance to so much.
  2. We just returned on the 13th from the Venus. I booked Boutique Tours in Holyhead as well. Fantastic tour, John is excellent. If you haven't created or joined your roll call, do it now. That is how I easily recruited two more couples to bring the price down. We met in the Explorers Lounge a couple of days before Holyhead. Had a wonderful time. Also booked Grant Redfern of Shetland Minibus Tours. Wonderful!
  3. My wife and I just returned on the 13th from the Venus doing the BIE. Maybe the only really disappointing meal was one of my favorites, Beef Wellington. Why was I expecting an individual filet with delicious pate wrapped in puff pastry? Because its Viking! They should be ashamed of what they tried to pass off as that wonderful entree.
  4. We just returned from a Viking Ocean British Isles Cruise. In Holyhead, Wales I definitely suggest Boutique Tours of Wales. The owner and guide John, has a passion and love of his Country and it shines through. He will take you places the big busses could only dream about and at a much fairer price. In the Shetland Islands we booked "Shetland Minibus Tours". Grant is a pleasure, and we saw some fantastic scenery and visited some places that the Viking Tours could never reach. Both are HIGHLY Recommended.
  5. I'm curious, you state you are on the May 9th 2023 BIE Cruise? Is that with the Venus? Because we are booked on the April 29th '23 BIE leaving from Tilbury. The Venus will be in Edinburgh on May 9th. Is there another cruise right behind us?
  6. Buy your tickets in advance, it fills up. We took the early train and remember getting to the ship before 3pm. Lovely trip.
  7. Icelands Majestic Landscapes. I believe this was on the way to Flam.
  8. The view from an aft cabin isn't that bad
  9. Thank you, Had an aft cabin for our sailing to Montenegro as well.
  10. We had 5111 on the Sky on our Norway/Iceland trip in '19. Love the perspective while sailing the fjords.
