    I am looking at holland america cruises. One goes to portland. One goes to rockland. I've never heard of rockland. Is one better than the other?

    Sorry i see there is quite a recent thread. Maybe these posts are anomalies. It is true that the Canada New England is port intensive. I'll have to check how many sea days there are. Not sure what the international cafe is as people said they missed that.

    Looking on going on a bucket list canada new england cruise in 2025. June one is on the island princess and works better for my schedule. I'm concerned as recent reviews on cruise critic aren't good. Would people recommend the island princess? Fall one is on the majestic but doesn't work with my schedule so well. Not sure whether to wait for 2026 but schedule isn't up yet.

    That's ok. I'm canadian and i was looking in US dollars so that cruise isn't cheap. I'm also wondering if its rough and if i need to be concerned with staying in a mid ship cabin.

    There is a reasonably priced cruise on oct 19 but i'm wondering if that's too late? Not sure about rain/bad weather on east coast. I'm also looking at a cruise june 4 and not sure how hot it would be/if that's a particularly good time to go.

    I'm debating getting this package. I'm wondering if people find the smoothies and mocktails to be good? Can you get a double smoothie?

    Thank you so much for your kind help. Yes i saw the marriott has a cheap coffee place and they mention kings hawaiian so good to know thats a local bakery. Also good to know about breakfast burritos and the liquor store. I have a dennys 5 min away from me so probably won't go there lol. I'm set!
  8. latebuyer
    Thanks so much. May i ask your recommendations for breakfast as well? Also is there anywhere to get pop cans.

    Thanks! Looks like gets good reviews too. I just want to apologize to op for hijacking the thread. There is a lot of focus on crowne plaza and double tree yet due to cost and traffic they may not be suitable. I think op indicated earlier they found what they are looking for which is good.

    I am warming to the idea of the marriott redondo. Nice to be a bit closer and pool looks nice. Any restaurant recommendations?
  11. latebuyer
    Lots of choices A lot of people have suggested aloft el segundo which is apparently across from an in n out burger. Presumably you'd still be stuck in traffic going to torrance?

    Thanks, i've posted on the marriott facebook page and i'm hoping i can find a suitable hotel. It will be cheaper anyways if i can use my points. I do not want to be stuck in traffic and i'm not really interested in taking an early flight. Someone on the lax trip advisor forum also warned me about bad traffic on friday.
  13. latebuyer
    Wow! I had no idea. Thanks. I have marriot rewards anyways so i should be able to find a reasonably priced airport hotel.
  14. latebuyer
    Thanks. That's good advice!
  15. latebuyer
    Thats ok i read traffic is bad 4-7 and best time to drive is 1-3 so i guess i should try and plan my flight around that.
  16. latebuyer
    Long shot but does anyone know the traffic situation on a friday? I'm annoyed the cruise leaves on a saturday. Or how can i find out? Not sure if going to san pedro direct or staying at long beach would be better. I'd like to coordinate my flight so i'm not stuck in traffic. I'm almost wondering if its just better to stay in an lax hotel the friday night and ubering on the saturday.

    I don’t see where i enter the resident state. Could you explain. Edit i found it. Sorry about that. Good to know you can choose your canadian province too.
  18. latebuyer
    I am excited as i didn’t realize there is a ferry to catalina island from long beach and i believe san pedro. Is it a scenic ferry ride? I assume it stops in a convenient location? This would be great and almost like having another port stop.
  19. latebuyer
    Thank you! Thinking of pulling the trigger and buying the stock. Wish i had bought it during covid.
  20. latebuyer
    Did people find it easy to get the benefit as canadians? Interested in possibly getting it as sail princess.
  21. latebuyer
    Thats ok, i should bring my refillable water bottle. Can you get ice at the buffet as well?
  22. latebuyer
    By canadian standards, the cost of the frozen alcoholic drinks is cheap at around 10 or ll dollars. You are probably looking at 10.00 for a mocktai in canada. I guess in the states drinks are cheaper.
  23. latebuyer
    Thanks everyone. The daiquiri and mojito are cheap by canadian standards. Can you bring bottled water on board as well? I’m thinking it may be good for port days.
  24. latebuyer
    Thank you! Good idea to check. Yes i'm thinking i can only get maybe 2 frozen alcoholic drinks, 1 mocktail and a specialty coffee. I think it may come to around 50US but that's probably low balling it.
  25. latebuyer
    Is there a fridge in the room where I can put cans of pop? I appreciate peoples responses. I know some can't understand those of us who don't get packages.
