Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. In the post that you quote, I see a figure of $900 pp (a comparison of 900 vs 1200 pp). Where do you get the figure of $9,000 pp? What am I missing?
  2. Most river cruise lines will even uncork and provide glasses for the alcohol you've brought on board at no charge.
  3. AND---no extra charge for special dining venues, all cabins with a verandah, a more cerebral and less hedonistic vibe (trying NOT to sound snobby, but some of us aren't into the heavy drinking/party scene)
  4. Here in Massachusetts daffodils are just starting. We've had a return to temps in the 30's (Fahrenheit of course) and that's slowed things down.
  5. We sail April 5---try not to trample all the tulips at Keukenhof so there's some left for us to see! Bon Voyage! PS--I read that the tulips, etc., are blooming a little early this year, so even though Keukenhof just opened March 21, you should have a great display to check out.
  6. What @DinnyClaire is going through is the exact reason why we dumped our Fire tablet and got a Samsung galaxy instead. Couldn't be happier. Have access to all of the google apps, and with the Kindle app, I do not miss the Kindle at all. I found Fire's browser to be terrible, and couldn't replace it with Chrome or Firefox without hacking into the Fire's OS.
  7. Is it available from the Amazon app store? We replaced our Fire tablet years ago when that version of it would only allow apps from the Amazon store--no android apps. I would check the Amazon app store--it it's not available there, you have your answer.
  8. We usually spend our OBC on optional excursions long before the ship ever sails.
  9. It's been 4+ years, but I believe the tip shows up as a lump sum, not daily entries. It's listed as a lump sum that can be paid in advance on MVJ.
  10. The tipping is suggested, not compulsory--the suggested tip is added to your bill, but you are free to change the number.
  11. There may not be roll call for your particular cruise but they're might be something like: "2024 Avalon Tulip Cruises" "2024 Avalon Cruises" With no more than 180 passengers per river cruise, and a small number of cruisers who read these threads, the odds of finding someone on your cruise is slim. Having said all this, just type a list of your questions and the community will certainly answer them!
  12. Unfortunate---my Viking clam chowder was tasty, but the flavor profile was completely different from traditional NE clam chowders.
  13. That is a great strategy! We will keep that in mind, as we sail in 2 weeks, then again in June 2025---after our next cruise we will consider booking something else during the interim waiting for our 2025 trip. We are 1000% satisfied with Viking river, and are trying Viking ocean next year.
  14. Until it causes a fire...............
  15. Checked with Viking prior to our 2019 cruise--they ARE allowed, but bringing your own hair dryer is not.
