Lindblad Expeditions Channel Islands Cruise For World Of Hyatt Members

The Channel Islands are amazing! While this cruise looks like an incredible experience, for those on a budget, you can take a day trip from Ventura (about an hour boat ride each way) for $63 on Island Packers.

It actually does work to keep the vast majority of people out of the hospital and from getting seriously ill. Being a cruise, that is of particular import.

"As intrigued as I am by the Channel Islands, I’ll probably give this a pass, especially with a newborn". I can see a major lifestyle change here. No more I-got-availability-on-Emirates-so-I-just-went moments.
Congratulations on the new child. This will be a new kind of adventure that won't depend on first class and/or suite upgrade availability.

I’ll guess that after Ben gets used to having a baby, he’ll travel plenty. Different destinations, but plenty of travel.

Looking down the road, it’s when his son enters school that the travel game completely changes. It’s a big adjustment only being able to travel during school holidays.

I say this as my youngest has two years of high school left. Soon, I’m traveling whenever I want!

My wife and I would have totally loved to do this cruise, but because they require a Covid shot, no way.

We’ll stick to using our Hyatt points for Big Sur and Miraval.

Ditto. I would have booked had they not had the vax req't.

Agree w/ Samuel.

Ripoff.

I did the 1 day cruise in 2019, and had a really good time. I only paid 15k points for a balcony room though…
