Great video, but I have a question or two. Did you booked any excursions through the cruise line? Some people said you do not need an excursion in Alesund, did you book one? We are thinking of booking on the same ship at the end of September. Which month did you go?
@thankfuljourneys
@thankfuljourneys 3 күн бұрын
No, we didn't book any excursions with the cruise line. Alesund is easy to explore from the port. We may book an excursion the next time we go so we can venture out further. Our trip was in June of 2023.

Visiting Japan is 100% about the culture, then the experience unfolds from there. Please learn the culture. Harmony and not bothering or disturbing others in the public space is a huge value in the culture. Carry a small plastic bag for trash and dispose of it at your hotel/onboard. Be a breath of fresh air for the locals and not another bad tourist. There are also lot of privacy laws about filming/photographing people. Thanks and good traveling.

On MSC (Canada) site the transfer from Hamburg Airport to Kiel is not available on the excursions list. I gave them a call but they are helpless. Does anyone know where to purchase them? Going by train is not an option for us as it will be peak season and for sure trains will be packed. For us it will be either MSC transfer or private transfer. Thanks

With so many ports, how to do you choose what shore excursion to purchase with the ship vs touring yourself? I have a 19 day cruise in july that visit many of these same ports. It could get costly for a family of 4.
@thankfuljourneys
@thankfuljourneys 2 ай бұрын
With a family of 4, the ship excursions can be expensive. We have been there. We will do research on each port and start planning out the top attractions we would like to see. Start with the ship's planned excursions, mimic them, and listen to the enrichment port guide sessions while on board. We didn't have any firm plans for any of the ports; we just had an idea of what we would like to see. This may be a little scary for some, but we prefer the self-guided trips instead of following a group and tour guide. Japan has a fantastic taxi service, with large vans for bigger families waiting at each port. If the port was within walking distance of the city and there was no exciting attraction, we would save the money, walk, and explore. However, if the taxi line is too long, you may need to be flexible and take the ship's shuttle bus. You will undoubtedly save by doing this, but make sure you return at least two hours before the ship's departure time. I always confirm the departure time just before leaving the ship to ensure there aren't any changes. I also take a picture of the port address so I can show it to the taxi driver to get back. They sometimes have maps and a return card address with this information at the port welcome team. Have fun. You are going to love it!

Are there tables for 2 people or do you sit with other people?
@thankfuljourneys
@thankfuljourneys 2 ай бұрын
Yes, there are tables for two. If you are assigned to sit with a large group, find the maître d before dinner and request a table for two. The best time to do this is on the first day and around two hours before the early dinner in your assigned dining area. They may need a day to make the arrangements but should be able to accommodate you. Remember, there may be a lot of other people doing the same thing. Always buddy up to the maître d and remember their names. Hope this helps.

Wir sind bereits 2017 und 2019 mit der MSC Preziosa gefahren und wir waren bis auf wenige Mängel sehr zufrieden mit dem Service der gesamten Crew, mit der Sauberkeit und Ausstattung des Schiffes, die Speisen sind von sehr guter Qualität und in einem vielseitigem Angebot. Die Getränke sind ein bisschen zu teuer.Die Unterhaltung am Tage wie auch in den Abendstunden ist ist sehr vielseitig und von guter Qualität. Deshalb fahren wir in diesem Jahr wieder mit der Preziosa, das erste Mal nach Corona und wir hoffen, dass sich nichts gravierend verändert hat. ( schrieb hier Lotar Böschen )

@thankfuljourneys
@thankfuljourneys 3 ай бұрын
Thank you! Yes, we found reaching the same attractions as the cruise's excursions affordable and accessible. We knew what we wanted to see and usually took a taxi unless the line was long or the taxis were unavailable. The Taxi service was excellent, and they loved sharing information about the area. This was primarily done with Google Translate on our phones. The ship will sometimes have a shuttle service that will take you to the downtown area and provide times to return throughout the day. The cost was $20 per person; they will charge it to your room bill. We always plan to return to the ship at least two hours before the debarkation time they set just to be safe.
