We are off to Zaanse Schans during our upcoming cruise in May 2024. Any experience with purchasing tickets in advance or its one of the entrances, you can purchase day of?

Is Amsterdam Central Station considered the same as Amsterdam City Centre?

This is perfect information. Thank you!

Are there any Woolen Mills or Woolen Shops in the town of Cobh? We are opting to do Spike Island, Titanic Museum, Cathedral in town and would love to shop local at a Woolen shop

We are coming into Amsterdam cruise terminal. Looking at all the transport options to buy the bus and entrance tickets. Which would you say is easiest walk to Central station and take the ferry over to the bus, and/or get to the airport and hop on the bus. Or is there a means we aren't thinking of? Thank you

How easy did you find it to get to the Tulip Festival taking the bus? Did you go to the airport and hop on the bus or go to the ferry location and take the bus there or neither?

Yikes, we may have to strategize how we eat...LOL Ours are 7 days, 14 days. So we should get reprieve from the same menu on day 8 of the 2nd cruise?...lol

That would be amazing! So blessed to be able to check that off the bucket list. Your comment me realizing a comment I made to my husband, if we are going to Australia we cant skip the Barrier Reef. Just added that onto our trip. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. You just brought ours up to a whole new level!

So you can get off the ship once but not a 2nd time, is what youre saying? Since Ill be in Melbourne for a few days prior to the 1st leg of the cruise, and the rep said we wouldnt have to check back in for the 2nd leg of the cruise and youre added tip, I think its best we stay on the ship if we can...LOL I would have never known that. Thank you so much.

Great tip. Most of us may not think thru that. Thank you

We've opted to wait until we get onboard, after we see it. We just weren't feeling it from online info.

I am fortunate to have the hobby of traveling on points & miles. So business class is the only way we fly internationally. For this trip, we were able to catch 2 business class flights from the states to Auckland for a killer deal in points, and $97.00 in taxes. We will spend 7 days on the North Island New Zealand, fly to Melbourne spend 4 days prior to the cruise so we can do the Great Ocean Road. On the way back we will book business flights with a 5-7 day stopover in Fiji, also on points. So very excited!! Happy to share info on traveling on points/miles.

Would they ever upgrade if you didnt bid?

1st one goes RT Melbourne (various ports around Australia) - 7 days 2nd one, leaves the day we get back from the 1st one. Same ship, Melbourne to New Zealand back to Melbourne. - 14 days I was able to call and they linked the reservation, saying now I didnt have to disembark. They put our Amex benefits on the reservation as well. And we were able to get the same room for the full 21 days. Love the idea of seeing Australia & New Zealand!

Hello Hope everyone is doing awesome! We are looking at booking our 1st B2B. This will be for Australia/New Zealand on the Diamond Princess. Is there any maritime laws we need to worry about? Any easy way to book or are the normal channels fine (ie TA or direct)? Any price breaks when booking a B2B? Anything we should consider and or ask for when doing so to make the trip convenient (ie staying in the same cabin)? Thank you

We are trying to decide if we should even purchase the Enclave on Regal for our upcoming British Isles cruise. From everything I can see on youtube etc, it looks really small and has no view of the ocean, is this true or just the perceptions from the videos we have watched?

Then you need to still get a transfer from the Heathrow Central Bus Terminal, between Terminals 2 and 3 to the Heathrow Airport? Or between Terminals 2 and 3 is the airport. Thank you trying to figure out transfers for May 2024.

Our favorite places are in Mexico when we do those ports.

Did you ever find anything? We will be there next week.

This type of OBC is also refunded to your credit card if you do not use it all by the end of the cruise, correct? & Thank you!

This is so me, so you are not alone. My poor DH gets really nervous when Im in the water, because he knows how much I panic. Hope you were able to follow the cord, and see the beautiful fish. We are going to ABC Islands in 2 weeks, and I still dont plan on doing the snorkeling. Im just not ready yet, and to not panic. Someday....

What was the name of the company? If you dont mind me asking. We are going to Bonaire in 2 weeks. DH would like to do something together, but I dont do well with water, so snorkeling is out for me. This may just be the thing we can do together and have a great time.

I am so bummed. I was looking at the May 15 on Regal Princess and just realized it doesnt go to Scotland Highlands. The one place that is a must see. Cant do the May 3rd, as I will be on a TA on our way over to South Hampton. Thinking we will just have to add 4 days to the trip, backtrack and go the Highlands seperately.

Looking for to your trip. We are considering her for a British Isles cruise in May 2024 as well. Enjoy your trip!!

Sounds amazing!! What cruise line did you go on for your cruise, if you dont mind me asking?
