Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. We also got the email cancelling our Star Pride in May 2025 from Barcelona to Amsterdam. We will certainly check with our travel agent, but my "spidey sense" is getting a bit of a tingle.
  2. We brought battery powered toothbrushes. Worked great.
  3. We swear by our travel agent, and have used her since our first Regent cruise in 2006. One good reason among many: We had arranged through our TA to have a private tour guide in Istanbul, who would meet us at the ship. Well, no one was there when the ship docked. We called the TA's 24-hour line, and by the time we took a taxi to our hotel, a replacement had been found who gave us an excellent walking tour of the city.
  4. We're on the same cruise! See you there! 🙂
  5. It's been a long time since anyone traveled with steamer trunks. 🙂 We have to check one suitcase and hope we get it at the end of our flight!
  6. We don't usually get a drink package; we will on our upcoming Viking cruise because the price is moderate compared to Windstar ($60/pp/per day? really??) and because we have a lot of sea days from Santiago to Buenos Aires next month and we can sleep in! For a port-intensive cruise we wouldn't do it.
  7. We'll be there in December, and from what the US Embassy site says as of October 1, the requirements are no longer a problem.
  8. We are doing our first on Viking in December, as well! Really looking forward to it after covid years onshore!
  9. Thanks for the info. We are planning extra days in Santiago at the beginning and in Buenos Aires at the end, since we may not be going that way again (who knows?) And our travel agent did quote us $100.
  10. We will be on the Viking Jupiter from Chile to Argentina in December. We have lots of cruise experience but this is our first with Viking. Can anyone advise on the advantage to "AirChoice"? My understanding that the $100 fee gets you confirmed flight reservations farther out than the usual 60ish days. Is it worth it? Compared to the rest of the cruise this is chump change, but I thought it was worth asking. Thanks!
