I travelled over land & sea. There will always be personality clashes & where this is easy to avoid on a cruise ship that holds 2100 people, unfortunately on a coach you can't get away from them (especially with rotated seating). I have been doing coach tours for 30 years & have always found like-minded folk. Cosmos does not cater for 4-5 star accommodation read more & this was reflected with the great, the good & the bad along the way. But even the bad supplied what was required, just not as comfortably. Be prepared for crowds at the major attractions in Yellowstone & the elbowing you'll receive from the viewers that arrive in the big yellow buses. You'll know them when you see them.
If you wish to see the majority of the geysers at the Old Faithful complex, walking at a brisk pace, allow yourself around one & a half hours. This will give you time for photo ops & to stop & watch the geysers erupt. The bigger ones (such as Daisy) have eruption schedules. As I didn't receive my cruising documents earlier, I wasn't able to book any of the optional excursions before I boarded & though some were already sold out there were still plenty to choose from - helicopters, sea planes, whale & bear watching, hiking & biking. One of my choices was a 'pilot's choice two glacier stop' out of Juneau. It was expensive but I looked at it as a once in a lifetime opportunity & am so glad I did. We landed on two different glaciers & at the time there was only us, one pilot & five passengers. This is now at the top of my list of experiences & will be hard to beat. Would I travel with Cosmos again, yes. Would I book with Global Journeys again, yes.
