Which one of you has been there and can recommend a hotel? We like the Petit Palace Savoy Alfonso XII. Super close to the subway, directly across from Retiro park, and a short walk to the Prado museum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's our first time there (together) though Chris went a couple of years ago in High School... 😉 We will stay at the Hyatt Centric Gran Via. I paid their basic room rate and used points for a suite upgrade. Should be great. Only problem is that the adjacent Metro station (Gran Via) is closed down. So a few extra minutes walk each time, from Sol... Edited November 5, 2019 by jpalbny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jillyf Posted November 5, 2019 #2956 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I have done a review of our Coral Expedition cruise and someone ( I think here) asked if I was going to write a review. I can’t find the post so I hope whoever it was sees it. It was posted today https://www.cruisecritic.com/memberreviews/memberreview.cfm?EntryID=669298 I would keep looking but I’m off to golf. Weather not bad, no rain and a bit of wind but not blowing a gale. Good day for golf! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jpalbny Posted November 5, 2019 #2957 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Thanks Jilly! Enjoyed your review. Would love to read your blog when you get around to it. Don't know if you saw/remember from earlier but we did sign up for the Ponant cruise Singapore to Darwin, November 2020. Looking forward to another visit down under!

What a story!! The stuff of movie plots or a book of fiction. The husband claims, albeit implausibly, he didn't know!

One suitcase is great and a challenge I could never meet. It's only the two of us, and no need for fancy clothes this trip.

Heck, we need one carry-on bag just for all of our personal care items. 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jpalbny Posted November 6, 2019 #2972 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Yeah, we used to travel that way. No longer. And now with free laundry on SS, there's really no reason to overpack. But a week in Europe with a carry-on isn't even a challenge any more. The only question is whether we bring one wine check (6 bottles) or two? Decisions, decisions! 😁🍷 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stumblefoot Posted November 6, 2019 #2973 Share Posted November 6, 2019 See JP, we just have different views on the purpose of "free" laundry at SS. My goal is that you won't see me in the same outfit twice over the course of two weeks. So, free laundry is just to ensure everything is washed cleanly, folded neatly, and packed before the long slog home. 😄 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
