We are seniors and when we took our grandkids to the lumberjack show both they and us enjoyed the show.  It is totally hokey and I am sure that the competition is also fake but it was still fun to watch.  

 

DON

How did you book the show ? - Directly from their web-site, or via a ship's shore excursion ? or via a "private" company ?  Thanks 

Starting to look at shore excursions for our June 2024 trip - Celebrity Edge - Have enjoyed the Crab Feast several times before, and want to go again this time,

Also , have always wanted to see the Lumberjack show

Has anyone booked the combination of these two things through a non-ship excursion provider ?  Would you recommend ? Seems like there are several operators offering various versions 

Has anyone gone to the Lumberjack Show in Ketchikan - would you recommend for four Seniors ?

THANKS 

Thank you all - for the comments, and recommendations

Do not planning on doing any sightseeing - just wanted a one-night hotel with ease from airport when we arrive - and then somewhat of a plan to get to the (Viking) cruise-ship the next morning.

Currently looking at staying at the DoubleTree at the Airport for the night (seems like they have a decent restaurant on-site)

Looking at April 2024 dates

Yes - love tripadvisor - there are just so many !

Wondering about the wisdom of just staying at a nice hotel at the airport - then taking a shuttle/taxi/whatever to the cruise-port the next morning

Thank  You

Yes - Viking offers a pre-cruise hotel for $553 per night - not a real deal ! 

Thank You ! 

Would appreciate any recommendation for one night  hotel in Toronto - easy to get to from airport - and (fairly) close to cruise port

Going on our first Viking cruise (Great Lakes)Two seniors - not totally unlimited budget - but don't need to skimp too much !! 

Thank  You

you will have no problem what so ever!!

Just returned from our cruise on the Solstice. Disembarked at 7:15, ( yes we got lucky), we were actually at the end of the line for walk off.There  were 5 of us, one in a stroller.  Immigration was a breeze, and there were an overabundance of transfer choices. Many drivers practically begging for customers. We had a car pick us up, paid $20 per person. The airport was no problem as well. We had Pre check and were at our gate at 8:45am for an 11:18 flight .

THANK YOU !! Totally appreciate this report

Galveston Shuttle and Limo provides private car service.

I've booked a private car with  them for my next cruise.

I've found that calling them is better than email.

Their private car service for two is a Cadillac CT5 or CT6.

It will cost you approximately $450 round trip IAH/Galveston.

Thank You ! 

Thanks for your post - we are going to "go for it" also !!

Oh - I forgot - now called Retreat Host .......😀

Thank you ! 

Yes - Guess I wasn't clear in my original post -  looking for a private car service - 

I sent an email to Galveston Limo - perhaps they can offer that service

Where did  you find the information about the number of stops?

When I went on-line to Galveston Shuttle's web-site, and choose a time for pick-up at the airport - it clearly listed all of the cruise ships that the shuttle would stop before delivering us to our hotel

Getting ready to book an Alaskan itinerary in Summer 2024 

Any recommendations for best Deck ? - Deck 12 so just walk down the long hall way to eat ?

Yes there is.  It is "stateroom."

Thank You ! - Didn't see that option before - I did fill out the form and submitted it

I tired to do that already  - in filling out the form, you have to put the location that you lost the item - there is no option for "in the cabin" ...... duh    

Oh crap - finally got home and finished unpacking after disembarking the NCL Pearl in Boston Friday - and realized that I left a whole drawer full of earrings, bracelets, and a watch in a drawer in the dressing area.  Haven Suite #15000

Anyone have an email address that I can send a plea for help ?

Any chance of ever seeing any of it again ?

Thanks 

Can someone recommend a good, reliable transportation service (not Uber or Lyft - we are senior citizens with no experience using them)

From the Boston Logan airport to the Bostonian Hotel in (North End) Boston 

Thank You 

Just got letter from NCL - We sail on November 4th (from Boston to Bermuda) - TESTING NO LONGER REQUIRED (If vaccinated) 

HOORAY !! 

First time cruising out of Galveston - so arriving a couple of days early (so ship's transfer won't work) can someone recommend a good, reliable transfer company to get us from the airport to our hotel in Galveston ?

Thanks !
