Denver to Salt Lake City by Rocky Mountaineer
Has anyone taken this trip and can give me any feedback on it? Thank you.
Re: French Escapade - Southbound
Thanks so much. Is there any where specific that you would recommend if we were to go to the Morais district?
Re: England, & The West Country
I am also flying into London and spending a handful of days in the Coswolds and then flying to Florence to connect with A Week in Tuscany and then taking a train to connect with A Week in Puglia.
Re: England, & The West Country
Please do report back. It is a lovely part of the country, i have not been to Cornwall and Devon for over forty years, but Bath maybe twenty years ago, I love it there. I’m even contemplating booking the tour in the next couple of years. It’s new, so I assume they are still ironing out the kinks which can happen on new tours. Being on a bus in the UK, you pass the most beautiful countryside so I would have no problem on a longer ride. Yes, you need to get fit.

Re: Advertising
MCD - I believe that is how they lure in their clients. It took me almost a year to get them to stop mailing me their flimsy pamphlets. The good thing about travel these days is that there is something for every budget...and political persuasion it appears! I'll stay with what I have always been pleased with—Tauck.

Re: Advertising
I will never take a Viking cruise based on their advertising. They seem to think that a British accent makes you more intelligent or sophisticated (sorry, British -- of course you are intelligent and sophisticated!), and when I get their brochures with all of their prices slashed with a red line and saying half off, my reaction is "Do they think I'm stupid?"
Re: Advertising
wildcat - Ratings are irrelevant if it's not the target market. How many Rolls Rotce EVs do you think would sell via Fox News ads?
Re: Advertising
We always fast forward over the Viking ads. I don’t like their buy now, get it half price tactics etc etc

Re: Advertising
😂😂😂. BKMD … if you don’t think that post was ‘political’, you need to learn how to read your own lips. Once again … put it to bed. We talk about travel here, and the ‘majority’ couldn’t care less about your political perspective.

Re: Cat 6 Cabin question
Sorry I don't believe there is. We've been in the Cat 6 cabin several times on Tauck's shorter ships like the Emerald, Sapphire which have a 3 drawer dresser on that wall and electric outlets. For some reason on the longer ships like the Inspire, Joy, etc they didn't include those. There are lots of outlets including some in a small niche just outside the bathroom where you could set something small like a smartphone on the shallow shelf.
The MS Joy was featured at a big river cruise convention in Europe last spring and there are several videos on youtube that show the various cabins. The link below has one of the better ones showing the Cat 6 cabin. If you'd rather trust your own search/link it was done by Sarah McClure Apr 17, 2024. Or just search for MS Joy and you'll find even more videos posted within the past year.
