Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I would like to hear from someone who tried, not speculation. i am not one to usually haggle. Many years ago I decided I would like to spend a month on a very high scale island in FL, I usually stayed a week. When I saw the prices it looked like I’d have to stay off island. I got the idea to send emails to 25 units that looked like places I’d like to stay, I told them what I could pay off island but I’d really like to stay on island. I made them an offer of 10% more than off island and about 25% less than on island prices. 15 responses were very negative, I didn’t hear from 5 but the other 5 said that that were interested. I made a deal with one and stayed there each year for the next 20 years. You don’t know until you try
  2. We have had family cruises, one with 21 and one with 12. Ages 11-72. Our cruises were on Princess and I can only say they were wonderful. Kids, parents and grandparents totally enjoyed them. One family had to be convinced to come and they still, 5 yrs later, rave about the trip. Maybe not as much to do as on RCL but maybe that is part of the reason the trips were so good? Families had time together and interfamily. Also did a trip of 3 grandkids and grandparents on Celebrity. It was also a wonderful experience and a wonderful trip. Just a different perspective
  3. As someone looking forward to their first NCL cruise in June, this post hasn’t been a ringing endorsement of NCL. Seems like NCL sucks in many areas but be happy you’re on vacation. My prior 9 cruises on Princess & Celebrity have been great with minor problems. I expect that I’ll feel the same about my NCL cruise. Great itinerary on Escape with grandkids.
  4. Actually looking to go from Trieste to Piazzale Roma. Want to see if anyone has used this company and how this company is regarded
  5. Has anyone used Treviso Car Service for Venice transfers from airport or cruise ports? I searched with no results
  6. From my experience on this tour the driver stayed with the van the whole time
  7. When booking air with other cruise lines like, Princess or Celebrity, one of the advantages is that if airfares drop in price prior to final payment, you can reprice the airfare. Another is that you can cancel up to final payment with no cost. Additionally, at least with Princess, international flights are usually considerable cheaper than booking otherwise.
  8. I contacted Premium Air and was told they wouldn’t talk to me, that my travel agent had to contact them. Travel agent called and was told the cost of our chosen flights is $5,000 each. When I check on American Airlines site the cost is $1,950.
  9. When we booked, the drink package was removed for anyone under 21, soda given as replacement for one. this is NCLs policy: On cruises embarking in a country where the legal drinking age is lower than 21 and where a young adult (age 18, 19 or 20) is not traveling with a parent or legal guardian, they will generally not be permitted to consume alcohol. There may be exceptions made to this restriction in areas of the world where local laws require and Norwegian Cruise Line concurs. Details on such exceptions can be obtained from the Guest Services Desk. No guest under age 18 may possess or consume alcohol at any time, while onboard or at our private destinations. No guest under age 21 may possess or consume alcohol at our private destinations. Any guest who goes ashore and consumes alcohol (whether under the supervision of a parent/guardian or not, is responsible for ensuring they consume responsibly and retain their ability to recognize and avoid potentially dangerous situations when they return to the ship. Parents/guardians are reminded they are responsible for the actions of their child/young adult at all times while on a Norwegian Cruise Line cruise. The young adult exception is parents can give permission for wine & beer
  10. Thank you, when I booked and listed ages the changes are just what you indicated. 10 day cruise @ $21 per day for 3= $600 Our grandchildren always enjoyed mocktails on cruises, cocktails with no alcohol. Is there a drink package for children under 21 that includes mocktails? New to NCL and learning
  11. Sounds like we should turn down the unlimited free drinks and save the $600+. The adult is not a big drinker and Grandparents on cruise not parents Just finished a Celebrity cruise with drinks included and the minors could drink any cocktails without alcohol, plus specialty coffees and water.
  12. I’ve looked through the posts but cannot find what drinks are included under the Free Drinks package if you are under 21. Are mocktails included? All regular $15 and under drinks but no alcohol? Two of our three in the room are under 21
  13. We took a gondola ride recently and asked the price upfront. The first gondolier was 20 euros higher than the second for the 35 minute ride. The second was a bigger operation and charged 80 euro for 35 minutes. We throughly enjoyed the ride
  14. In the airport. Wasn’t even looking for the machine and bumped into it. Entered the code and 5 individual passes came out
