Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I appreciate all the responses so much. The tour is directly through the vendor and is a food tour. We have found it to be 50/50 if food tour companies will refund or not for missed ships due to the fact that restaurants and food vendors provision for the tours. There are other FYI stuff we are planning to do but on the fence with the tour.
  2. Odd question I know. There is a tour I am very interested in taking with in port but they have a 24 hour cancelation rule. I may be willing to take the risk if this is not a port that routinely gets missed on fljords cruises. Can anyone assit?
  3. Orvieto has been recommended before by friends who have been there. It is not too inconvenient. Most importantly we are looking for a more relaxed place to be for a couple of days. It seems like there is stuff to see and the Umbrian cuisine is a draw. Will check out the other options as well.
  4. October and our flight out is at 9:30am. We are looking at Orvieto for a night then perhaps stay near Termini the next night and take the airport express train first thing in the morning
  5. We are ending a cruise in Rome and would like to spend preferably two nights somewhere but not in Rome or any other larger city. Looking for something relaxing with that local vibe. Then would be flying out of Rome. At a loss.
  6. Our next cruise is on the Sky so reading this thread is a bit of a disappointment. That said, we were just on the Island Princess in October after reading what could easily be defined as the worse threads about a Princess ship ever. We had a great time with great service (a few missteps here and there but nothing drastic). Hope I find the same on the Sky in May. Trying to find the glass half full everyone: I am on vacation, not cooking, cleaning, etc in a great locale. That starts me off in a fairly good place.
  7. Hoping folks can give me some advice. We have a mid morning Italo Florence to Rome train booked on November 11th. I have learned that Italo support staff (for lack of a bette term in translation) is striking from 9am-5pm that day. Will my train be cancelled? I have heard that they sometimes do not happen, that sometimes it is low impact to services and I have read run for the hills. I could shift to a train before 9am, not ideal but more ideal that no train and scrambling. Thoughts? Advice? I appreciate in advance. Thank you.
  8. I do not like carrying my passport but always carry my passport card, would that be sufficient if stopped by police for ID check?
  9. what ship was this? I have never seen anything like this but I would like to.
  10. Ugh. I certainly hope this is not a harbinger of other travel related issues for this trip. When they do this type of service on the weekends, does it ever bleed over to the weekdays? We can Stay in Bath until Monday and take the train to Southampton then but that is the date we embark so I would hate to be in a position if something went wrong. That is why we were planning on arriving in Southampton Sunday not Monday.
  11. Thanks for the information. That does not make me happy by any means and may seek alternate means of travel.
  12. One more question since you have been so very helpful. I am noting that the weekend (saturday and sunday) of October 28/29 is showing no direct trains at all. The trains they show have either 1 or 2 changes and are 2+ hours. I checked other weekends in case it was a weekday versus weekend thing, but alas it is not. It appears to be just the weekend we will be there, Am I missing something? Will they be scheduled later?
  13. Thank you very much. It is October 29th we need so I will check in a few days as that advanced fare is worth it. Also check out other line for ticket purchase.
  14. This is a UK train transfer question (albeit not from London). We are spending a few days in Bath prior to our cruise this Fall and are planning on taking the train from Bath to Southampton. That would be on South Western Railways. How necessary is it to purchase in advance? does the price increase much? If advisable to purchase in advance, is there a way to do e-tickets if live in US because it does not appear as if I can register an account with them from the US whcih I believe is required for e-tickets. Any information is appreciated.
