Schiphol airport hotel pre-cruise?
craig01020 replied to craig01020's topic in British Isles/Western Europe
Thanks! It looks like the Hampton and Holiday Inn Express are closest to the Hoofddorp train station. -
I am planning to stay in Amsterdam for 2 nights before our cruise. I've noticed that hotels near Schiphol airport cost a lot less than hotels right in Amsterdam. Is it crazy to use an airport hotel as a base for exploring Amsterdam? Thanks.

I got the "free" open bar on my first two NCL cruises, but on my recent 6-day Royal cruise I saw that our bar tab was less than $250. So, I've since removed the "free" open bar on my future NCL cruises. I think I'll just break even at worst. If I had an itinerary with a lot of sea days, then it may be worth it for me.

Brilliant!

We are leaving on a cruise from Trieste, Italy in Oct. 2024. I plan to fly into Marco Polo airport, then stay a couple of nights in Trieste pre-cruise. Does anyone know if there a bus that leaves VCE and arrives in Trieste? Thanks!

your bestest Carnival memories
craig01020 replied to havanadaydreaming's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
I've only been on two Carnival cruises so far, but it would have to be when we sailed to Half Moon Cay on Freedom. Rented a cabana, and it was awesome!

Oh my! Which ship was this? -
Good morning. Our October 2024 cruise is scheduled to stop in Piraeus from 6:00-17:00. Could we could take a morning ferry to Aegina and spent 4-5 hours before heading back to our ship? How far are the ferry docks from cruise docks and is this trip even realistic given our time constraints? Thanks!

Dining Room Menu - Time for a Change?
craig01020 replied to nydney1's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
I sailed twice with Royal in the last six months, and I kept thinking about how much I missed Carnival's MDR which has meals that I can pronounce and actually enjoy! Royal felt a just little pretentious. -
Good morning all. I'm looking at a 10-day Ireland cruise on Star. Of the seven planned port stops, four are listed as tender ports. Has anyone here gone on this itinerary and were so many water shuttles much of an issue? Thanks.

If my ship is scheduled to arrive at 7 a.m. in Fort Lauderdale, how risky is it to book a 1:15 pm flight from Miami? Thanks.

Why does the Breakaway seem to have so many bad reviews?
craig01020 replied to Mississippian's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
I sailed on Breakaway last May and really enjoyed it. It has flaws, but overall it's a beautiful ship. The food in the main dining room was great as well as the shows in the theater. -
Important advisory regarding your Carnival cruise
craig01020 replied to Old Fart Cruisers's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
I imagine there will be no enforcement, but plenty of fines assessed. 🤑 -
Carnival Long Beach narcotics dogs

But it does create a terrible stench on balconies. 😖 -
I want to book a Dec. 2024 Eastern Caribbean cruise. Carnival Magic and Vista have the same itineraries, departure date and length. The only difference is Vista leaves from Port Canaveral and Magic from Miami. I haven't been on either ship before. All things being equal, which ship would you choose? Thanks.
-
Just got off a Royal cruise where they offered a behind-the-scenes tour for $179 pp! I wanted to do it, but not for that price. Does Norwegian offer a similar tour and, if so, any idea how much it costs? Thanks.

Removing "open bar" after booking?
craig01020 replied to craig01020's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
I called today and had the open bar gratuities removed from two of my booked cruises...the ones with the fewest sea days. If I'm in port all day, I won't be buying that many drinks on the ship. -
I'm assuming it would be a simple phone call, but I'm just wondering if anyone has removed the open bar gratuities after booking (but before final payment)? Thanks.

We sailed on Freedom last year...no complaints. Is Monika still working in the MDR? We loved her!
-
I've only been on Royal three times and Carnival twice. The Carnival MDR has good food that's less "fancy", and that's fine with me! Blue Iguana and Guy's Burgers are both free and very good! Carnival buffet is not as good as Windjammer...however...even if it was between meals, we were able to sit there and have a coffee or play cards.

Or Spring 24-Summer 25 in Australia/NZ. 😉🤣

I'm hoping to cruise to New Zealand in 2025. Celebrity and Norwegian have already released their 1Q 2025 NZ cruises. I'm holding out for Holland America because they offer one-way itineraries. Does anyone have an idea when HAL will release their 2025 schedule? Thanks.
