Thank-you so very much Hallasm!

We have a port stop in Aarhus. What do you all know about this port? 

What are the 'must sees' there, places to eat, etc?

Thank-you in advance!

We will be arriving on October 19 in Québec. We are unable to check-into our hotel till 4 pm. Can I luggage be stored at the Train station?

I don’t know. I did notice that it does not include all of the stops and audio mode. A lot of the stops are just to read on your own with the information.

I just open the app, look for the self-guided tour and open that. At the bottom of the page it has ‘start audio tour.’ 

So glad you are back on the high seas! Looking forward to reading your blog!

We booked our New England cruise 1 1/2 years ago with Plus. Do we have access to these new Plus “perks” or are we ‘so outta luck?’

I don't understand the colors.  Blue Anchorage? Yellow Fairbanks?  I would pick an itinerary that included Denali Lodge for two nights and upgrade from the Natural history tour to the Tundra Wilderness tour (goes further into the park).  With two nights you will have a full day .  If you only have one night you travel to get there, have a few hours, stay overnight, next morning have a little bit of time and then you leave.  Not as good and tiring.

I agree. Two nights in Denali and upgraded Tundra tour. You really want that whole day in Denali.

Thank-you for posting this. I will be following as we are on the October 9th cruise.

It has an audio section to have the route read to you.

Reading Anderson Cooper's 'Vanderbilt, rise and fall of an American Dynasty to get an insight of the owners of Breakers and Marble House. Very insightful.

We have done the Off the Beaten Path land tour with Princess. We began in Fairbanks, two nights in Denali, one at Mt McKinley lodge and last was at Kenai Princess. We appreciated seeing the interior of Alaska first, it is so vast and must be seen to understand what this state is about. The cruise after (Voyage of the Glaciers) was relaxing and enjoyed ending in Vancouver.

Thank-you so much GTJ for taking the time to research my question!🗺️🍁

Are you looking only to visit Chute Montmorency, or are you seeking a tour of the entire city that also includes a stop thereat? If the former, then use use route 800 of the Réseau de transport de la Capitale ("RTC"), www.rtcquebec.ca, for a very inexpensive excursion: 3.75 CAD per person each way, plus admission to the falls, 3.78 CAD for Québec residents, 7.57 CAD for others (all rates discounted for seniors). If the latter, then the "Countryside" tour inclusive of the falls is offered by Unitours, www.toursvieuxquebec.com: 74.70 CAD per person. Unitours also offers a round-trip bus to the falls only, admission included, for 29.90 CAD per person, as an alternative to using the RTC bus (but note this Bus operates much less frequently than the RTC bus, notwithstanding that the total cost is twice the price).

 

Note that the central city, including Vieux-Québec, is quite walkable, and paying for a tour is necessary only if one has mobility issues or if one wants to have sights pointed out and listen to commentary.

Is there a map available to do a walking tour by ourselves?

GTJ, thank you! I copied your post to use when we get there. Always learn so much from seasoned cruisers 🛳

We are going to take the city bus line to the falls since in October we arrive too late for a morning walking tour.

I don’t have any status with Princess but enjoy the flexibility of choosing when and where to do our excursions. The trolley meets you at the pier and with the Duo ticket you choose which mansions to visit, not prescribed ones. For our cruise in October, we are in Newport from 7-5. Plenty of time to see the mansions at our own pace, walk the cliff walk and enjoy the town. One should choose what he/she is most comfortable with. 

We were on the Majestic last June on the same Whittier to Vancouver cruise. You will love it! Your style of writing is so engaging!

Can you show pics of your cozy stateroom?

Your suggestions are having me rethink😀

I’d like to know too. A long taxi ride, even with beautiful scenery might not be best for us.

Looking forward to following along! We sailed on the Majestic to Alaska after the land tour.🛳

We booked  Liquid Alaska’s Mendenhall canoe trip. So thrilling to be on the lake with a unique perspective of the glacier🛶

We did the ATV tour which was loads of fun. 

Thank you again for sharing your adventures 🛳Hope you recover quickly 😀

Harmony restaurant was wonderful. Enjoyed our time there.
