That sounds like an amazing trip! Have fun and we're sure your wife will love the surprise!

No. You can add an all-inclusive package to your room for an extra fee. But, San Pedro is super quick and easy to get to and the bars/restaurants there (and on the way) were great and pretty cheap. Check them out here! ua-cam.com/video/ZBjbOzy3YZg/v-deo.html

Glad you liked the video! The ship definitely did not feel crowded and we were able to comfortably hang out on the rail on the side for most of the fireworks. Certainly didn't notice anyone fighting over spots or anything like that, though most people seemed to find their preferred spots a little before midnight and hang out for the duration of the show. You definitely will not need to "secure" a spot hours in advance. Maybe 10 minutes if you are really picky!

@ That’s great to know, thanks a bunch.

This was the Tall Ship James Craig. There is a link in the video description to the organization that runs the ship and NYE bookings!

Thank you so much for the comment! We love being able to help other travelers, and thoughts like this make us so happy!

I don't recall a cold plunge or cold room, but there was definitely a steam room, sauna, hot tub, and pool with jets/waterfall. After steam/sauna, the showers and pool were certainly refreshing!

Haha, thanks!! 😆 Glad you enjoyed the video.

Hello, which website did you use to book? I checked their website today and was only able to sign up for a newsletter.

@@omfgitsrass test. My replies are not going through. Maybe because I'm including a link?

@@omfgitsrass So adding a link appears to be the reason my previous replies did not go through. Send them an email saying you want to book. You can also scroll down on their home page to you see the link to the NYE cruise. They are really good at responding. Could be 12-24 hours depending on where you live due to time difference.

@@Greg-cs7pg Thanks so much! I was able to book for this year with the early bird price.

@@omfgitsrass great. I’m booked too.

The seaplane transfer is not included in the room rate, but it is arranged by the hotel. After booking they will contact you to get your arrival information and set everything up! The Le Meridien website also has some info about the transfer.

Thank you 😊

Do you know how much the sea plane was?

We booked through the Tropic Air website in advance (Maya Air works the same), allowing about two hours between flights. The transfer is very easy, when we went to check in with Tropic they actually just put us on the next flight that was leaving. We also saw many people buying their tickets on the spot, so that seemed to be a normal thing to do for this route!

@DiversifiedDiversions ok thanks.

Hmm, I would go for 2A simply because in 1A, the windows are behind your seat during takeoff and landing, and you have to rotate to face backwards to watch the big screen/not face the wall. If that doesn't matter to you, 1A is slightly larger than 2A. Hope that helps!!

@@DiversifiedDiversions Thank you for the great advise. I had the same concern too. I booked 1A but will change to 2A.

Have an amazing time!!!

The weather was great for our trip! We were able to get in the water (both pool and beach) basically every day. There was a brief rain shower one morning but otherwise beautiful! Of course, check the weather before your own trip, but September is definitely still beach season there.

@@DiversifiedDiversions ok thank you! 😊

You are in for a treat! Enjoy the experience!

Hi! We don't recall any train changes, though it is of course possible there has been a schedule change or some sort of irregularity. If the short transfer is a concern, you may wish to contact the train company if there is a phone or email on their website!

The lake cruises are served by ferries that are part of Zurich's ZVV public transport network. Any ZVV pass with the appropriate time or zone coverage will get you on!

We just walked around within the central area on our short visit. The Chateau Gutsch funicular is not free: It costs EUR 2.50 each way, or can be covered by certain public transit tickets/passes.

Yes, it was EC163! Our trip was last fall, though, so definitely double check with the OBB website and when you book in case the numbers have changed, and of course be sure to book a seat in the right car! If you have the time we would absolutely recommend it. Comfortable ride and good scenery!
