Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Sounds great. Thanks for answering.
  2. whoops! I meant we were on RCCL. I forgot there was a Royal Princess. But I checked out the review on this board and that answered my questions. Thanks anyway.
  3. It has been several years since I sailed on Princess so I am having trouble understanding this new Dining Time. It worked well on Royal although we weren't pleased with different tables/servers every night. It appears that there seems to be multiple dining rooms on Regal? Is there any difference between them? Thanks for any help with this.
  4. Another question! What is Medallion Class? I wish the website was easier to navigate.
  5. There are no longer key cards. I guess the videos I've been watching are old since they show people using a key card. Thanks for the prompt answer.
  6. I haven't been on Princess for several years and so new to this Medallion thing-y. I saw on another thread that it $I0/pp. Is it worth it? Doesn't your key card still work? Or is this just another scam that Princess is using to generate more revenue? My friend & I are booked for a British Isles cruise in September and really looking forward to it. Sue
  7. We used them in 2018 after a pre-cruise stay in London. 5 BP/pp/senior with 1 BP tax. So 11 British Pounds for both of us London to Southampton. Five BP taxi to the ship.
  8. From a previous cruise when I had a medical visit for conjunctivitis (pink eye). I spoke with Medicare after I came home and they said if you were within 2 hours of an American port, they would cover your visit. Unfortunately, it was a sea day but my charge was $78 which my cruise insurance did reimburse me.
  9. The worst food I ever had on a cruise was on Vision of the Seas-2015 Med cruise. Even the buffet had poor selection and taste. That survey got a big, fat ZERO. Everyone in our group did the same. Two years later, we were on Vision again for a Baltic cruise and the food was great! So I guess they do pay attention to the survey.
  10. Oh, that is so sad to hear. DH & I always raved about X's food and I can only think of one time out of 7 cruises when I sent something back. Our last trip with them was in 2018 for a 15 day Trans-Atlantic that they billed as Boston, Broadway & Bermuda. That was the best new Itinerary I have been on in a while.
  11. I was shocked by this when staying in Amsterdam. I hated having to wash my face after removing my makeup using a towel. Our London pre-cruise stay was at the Grosvenor (sp?) and they had wash cloths. I had brought some, just in case.
  12. On our TA (Southampton to Ft. Lauderdale) on Silhouette in 2018 was our 50th Anniversary cruise. Our kids gave us a magnetic sign w/our wedding photos on it and we had it on our door. No one took it but we did get a lot of attention because of it. All the doors and walls on a cruise ship are metal. We often used magnetic hooks on the inside walls.
  13. We did a RT Barcelona for the Mediterranean cruise and there were a large number of Spaniards and Spanish families. I thought the entertainment content was geared to the Spaniards but it was in English. This was in 2015 so there may be many changes since then. Have to say that we were 12 hours in port, for the most part. Our tours were all privately arranged and we did extensive and exhaustive sight-seeing. I would go again in a heartbeat.
  14. We did Med-2015 and Baltic-2017, both in May and there were no mosquitos,
  15. Well I guess I was misinformed about the tip pool. I always tip generously for service rendered so will do so on any future cruises.
