Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. This is just a guess, but I guess since it appears that no one has first hand knowledge of whether an e-scooter is allowed on Celebrity or is allowed to be driven on Bermuda then every post is just a guess, including yours. I guess...
  2. Not to belabor the point, but this looks to me that e-scooters are common in Bermuda and I'm guessing that they must be rented and personal e-scooters would not be allowed. Check out grabawhip.com
  3. That's what I said. You would have to rent an e-scooter, not drive your personal e-scooter. From the US Dept of State, Bermuda International Travel and Transportation: "Road Conditions and Safety: Driving on the island is on the left, British-style, and the maximum speed limit is 15 mph in Hamilton and 21 mph on the rest of the island. Under Bermudian law, non-residents are not allowed to own, rent, or drive four-wheeled vehicles, except for a limited number of all electric rental mini cars that hold two passengers. Non-residents must rely on taxis, buses, or rental scooters."
  4. If you search on non-resident driving restrictions on Bermuda, I think you'll see that you would not be allowed to drive there. Looks like the only option is to rent.
  5. We cruised for the first time in 1990 on Song of America.
  6. In 2020, in the midst of Covid, I contracted shingles in one eye. I had a mild case but still take an antiviral and use steroid drops. I had received the original 1 dose shingles vaccine in 2012 and the 2 dose Shingrix in 2018. I, of course, whined about getting shingles after getting the vaccine and my eye doctor told me two things that have become my mantra. First, no vaccine is 100% effective. Second, being vaccinated can lessen the symptoms and severity of the disease.
  7. I haven't received an email for a points promotion in months. I haven't sent a complaint email, however, for the first time in 15 years, I don't have a Celebrity cruise booked. I figured that was the reason.
  8. A few years ago on a Celebrity cruise, I attended a Q&A with the Captain. A woman stands up and starts to ask a question about crew wages and working conditions. I say "starts" because the captain shut her down immediately. I don't remember his exact words but they were on the order of, "That's not your business. Next question." I don't ask a hotel housekeeper how much she makes or if she has to pay for internet. When I worked, I never discussed my salary or working conditions with a customer. I was taught at a young age that it is not polite to ask people how much they make. And I never discuss salary or working conditions with a cruise ship employee. It's not my business.
  9. Me too. I figured it was because,for the first time in 15 years, we don't have a Celebrity cruise booked.
  10. To return to the topic, we booked the Alcove because we had a ton of OBC. We live in Florida but don't like to spend a lot of time in the sun. We like the Solarium and don't miss looking at the ocean for a few hours.We enjoyed the Alcove and felt we got our money's worth. It was fun watching a movie -- "Casablanca". It was a port day so the cost was a little less. And there's no dress code.
  11. I like Star of the Seas. Of course, I'm biased since Starr is my middle name.
  12. We are frequent Celebrity cruisers also but we prefer suites and while the Celebrity suite experience is great, the prices are not. Royal doesn't offer much for suites on the smaller ships but we feel that it's good for the price. The food in the MDR was better than expected. The meals we had in Chops and Giovanni's were outstanding. We are Floridians also and completely understand your desire for some cooler weather!
  13. We were in a suite and the shampoo, conditioner and body wash were separate. I can't speak to what's available in other than suite cabins. My husband isn't into the fancy soaps and shampoos and I have allergies, so we always bring our own products. This is off topic too, but this was our first time on Serenade and I'd read some negative comments before the cruise so we were a little concerned. We were very pleased with the ship and wouldn't hesitant to cruise on her again. We had a great time.
