Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Another vote for Rome Cabs (their vehicles are not taxis), We have used them for years. Go on line and you can get a quote for the number in your party, luggage, etc. Drivers have always been professional, courteous and helpful.
  2. We use Rome Cabs and have for several years. We also enjoy Civitavecchia. We have visited Rome a few times but enjoy the small town feel of Civitavecchia. They also have some great restaurants. We stay at San Giorgio. Have used the train one time and preferred Rome Cab.
  3. Regent, Crystal and trying HAL in January, the first time in years (love the round trip to Hawaii from San Diego). However, our next cruise with Celebrity is in November, a transatlantic on the Connie. I'm reading encouraging reports so we will enjoy no matter what.
  4. It must be in the water! We will sail with HAL to Hawaii in January 2024. This will be our first cruise with them in years. We still cruise with Celebrity, we leave next month for a transatlantic crossing. We also have gone back to Regent and look forward to returning to Crystal now that they have been purchased. Our last couple of Celebrity cruises have been fine, not outstanding. We have cruised with them in many different categories, our favorite is the suite/Retreat. Their pricing for suites now are about equal to Regent and Regent provides air and shore excursions. I'm glad we have choices. Looking forward to revisiting some past choices.
  5. Thank you both for your comments. We usually enjoy the aft cabins but they were not available when we requested the quote for this cruise.
  6. Thank you for your input. We decided against a holiday cruise and will sail Crystal another time especially after all of the recent great reviews. Would you provide additional comments on this stateroom for future reference?
  7. We sailed Regent's Rome to Rio cruise and did not see any significant difference in dress from start to finish. Mostly elegant casual.
  8. That is also when we first met him. Did he not also work with Silver Seas?
  9. Thank you, feeling more comfortable with this location now. Will wait and see what other options are available.
  10. You are right, LOL. Too intent on looking at ship pictures. Thanks to all for comments.
  11. Just looked at the old Crystal deck plans and it is odd that I do not see 10010. The numbers go 10002, 006,008, 0012. When looking at photos of Serenity, it appears that the balcony is half steel? and balconies further toward the middle of the ship are more open. Of course this is pre-renovation.
  12. We are considering booking a Christmas cruise on Serenity and this suite was quoted. It appears to be directly under the bridge and the side looks like it is half open. Motion does not bother us but we are somewhat concerned about proximity to the bridge (footsteps above?) and the balcony view would be different from what we have enjoyed in the past. We have our agent checking on other options but we value the experience of past Crystal cruisers. Any input?
  13. Just checked and this is the number: 786 464-4605 Incoming also said "Miami, FL"
  14. We also received a call from a Crystal consultant. She said that the open deposit program was closing this week (Friday) and that itineraries would be released on Monday for 2023 and 2024. She also discussed various benefits of A&K's ownership and encouraged us to speak with our TA which we did. Our TA said there was a meeting on Thursday specific to Crystal and promised to provide any updates. We did love Crystal and will sail with the new Crystal but we have also returned to Regent and it is very enjoyable. Looking forward to the future for both of these lines.
  15. Currently on board Splendor as well. We have been very comfortable in all venues and have worn light weight clothing but with sleeves. Weather has been delightful!
