I think we are on the same cruise possibly.  The ports are Reykjavik, Akureyri, Seydisfjordur, Belfast, Liverpool, and Cork (Cobh).  In Akureyri we are booked with Sage Travel for the Lake Mývatn Classic tour.  I can't find anything for Seydisfjordur.  Cork is only a 6-hour stop on a Sunday for us, so that one is difficult, too.

Yes!  Same port.  I'll have to check out Sage Travel.    Thanks for that.  My daughter spent a few weeks in Iceland last year and has ideas as to where we should go.    I'm trying to find other sources, as well.

Both Iceland and Ireland have multiple ports which welcome cruise ships.  Perhaps you would get a more focused response if you mentioned the particular ports you will be visiting.

Of course!

• Reykjavik, Iceland
• Akureyri, Iceland
• Seydisfjordur, Iceland
• Belfast, Northern Irelan
• Liverpool, England
• Cork (Cobh), Ireland

Hello All,

I took a Caribbean cruise 15 years ago and spent a bit of time in the forums for each port to find private excursions and tours that were popular.  It was fantastic!  There were no crowds, it was cheaper than the official ones, and overall much more satisfying than picking the ones from the cruise ship.  We would be just leaving an area in our tour car as five van loads from my ship would pull up.

I'll now be cruising to Iceland, Ireland, and Liverpool and was hoping to find information about private tours and excursions, but there isn't a whole sub forum dedicated to each port, like the others.   I'm sure it doesn't get enough traffic, but I was hoping to find more information. 

Anyone know anything good to do or recommendations for excursions in these areas?  We have 2 young adults, 2 middle aged, and 2 grandparents.  We don't have to do everything together, so  don't worry about something not being a good fit.   The grandparents don't kayak, but the rest of would.   

Any suggestions?  Recommendations?  Thanks in advance!

Ooooph! Not unlimited? 200 mbs or 300 mbs? Ouch! Nevermind. My daughter can suffer by having to only participate in 101 things going on the ship.

Thanks everyone!

Hi All,

I'm going on an Alaskan cruise with my whole family and these are the offers for my ship. Yes, I know that this is offered on my ship. My question is.....what sites are covered under the Social Media sites? Is it any website? Or just the big social media ones (Facebook, Snapchat, Tumblr etc). I'm just not sure what is there for the Social Media....besides the obvious answers. I wish there was a definitive answer as to what's included in the "Social Media" selection.

Would you be open to renting a car?

Yes, we are planning on renting one if we need to.

Hello,

We will have an afternoon and then a day in Anchorage. There will be 2 grandparents and one nuclear family. The Dad has to leave the first night. What good things are there to do in Anchorage? I haven't looked at anything yet, but I found when doing the Caribbean, it was best to just start a thread.

Hi!

I've looked at what I can for getting 6 people from the tiny port village of Whittier to Anchorage. Princess will do it, but it can be quite expensive.

There are no more cars left to rent for the day we get there.

So far, the only interesting service is alaskacruisetransfer.com

When I went to the Caribbean, I came on these forums and found all these great local tour companies that were utterly fantastic. Is there anything like that for Alaska????

We have 6 people heading to Anchorage and we want to see stuff on the way. Not really sure what, but would love to hear what there is! Is there any small, private tour that would do what all those Caribbean island residents do?

If not, then it looks like alaskacruisetransfer.com is the way to go!

Thanks for any help! It's our first time in Alaska.

I booked with him for mid-Nov. This is one port that we are looking forward to the most! I think going with Levi will be excellent.

We are going on the Roseau Valley Best, which is his personal favorite.

Middleham Falls: The tallest waterfall on the Island. The hike to this waterfall is about 45 minutes one way, walking through part of the Island lush rain forest. For the first 20- 25 minutes you would be climbing up, which is the most difficult walk on the tour. From then it is flat and down hill until you get to the waterfall. There is a huge pool at the base of the waterfall with fresh clean water which will be tempting you to get in.

Trafalgar Falls: (two waterfalls in the same area) 10 minutes walk one way up a few steps. The walk is not too difficult and it is the second most visited site on the Island.

Titou Gorge: One of the most unique areas on the Island and it's also a spot where part of Pirates Of The Caribbean 2 was filmed. One can get to bathe in hot and cold water at titou gorge. To enjoy the gorge you would have to take the short swim up the cave like area. It's about 10 feet at it's deepest point, but if only about knee height when you get n the cave-Like area. There is an easy 7 minutes walk to the gorge.

Wotten Waven Sulphur Springs: (small boiling pools) 2 minutes walk one way up a few steps.

Depending on how long you stay at the waterfalls, we could also stop at the Botanical gardens and Morne Bruce.
