Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. maybe not the minimum... if say 10 people bid the minimum, but YOU bid $5 more, you are ahead of the crowd. just an idea
  2. thanks all, i"ll let it ride, board early, hope for availability since we have prepaid, and if not get a refund.
  3. Well that's a great plan, except we are instructed to board @ 1:30pm! can i simply ignore that? it would seem to be bad manners....
  4. we have an upcoming (next month) cruise. just booked because of time off work concerns. DW strongly desires dinner in lawn club and murano on her birthday and our anniversary. no open dates shown in cruise planner. I have purchased unlimited specialty dining in the hope that they will somehow accommodate us. will this work ?
  5. but why would you??? lol (I can think of some reasons, but lumina is SOOOO good......)
  6. we have done enough celebrity cruises to reach elite, but none in a 2-3 years, so what is changed? specifically the captains club cocktail hour, elite breakfast, and policy of bringing wine onboard at embarkation? it used to be 3 drink coupons that were not valid in the dining room and two bottles per cabin carry on thanks in advance
  7. I was all set to chime in and add that we have heard this on other ships (reflection) in rough weather, ALL ships flex and creak sometimes… THEN, i watched the video in post #47. You can see the seas are very calm, no whitecaps, almost no swells. The creaking and banging is LOUD, incessant, and intolerable. How interesting that some cabins do and some don’t. Cruisecritic is the perfect venue to list noisy cabins to avoid! As far as demanding to be relocated, that isn’t possible if all cabins are full.
  8. 3 large ships in port, this is peak time, PLENTY of space. You need not fear being crowded food is excellent, drinks are watery but that’s everywhere
  9. Live at paradise beach. Beautiful day, lots of water toys, a thousand chairs available on the beach, and lots by the pool, but its still early in the day.
  10. There is an airplane (i think) in the harbor if you look for it!
  11. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2873127-honolulu-transportation-options/#comment-64551841 Look in this same category, just browse the topics.you don’t even have to google! Lots and lots of advice and help here
  12. If nothing else, you motivated me to check our passport expiration dates. I renewed mine recently (USA) and it took far longer than i expected. Wife has 21 months on hers. These are difficult times for many things, I don’t have an opinion on what celebrity should or should not do, both follow the rules, or make an exception for you have good arguments. This is an excellent advertisement for trip insurance though! Best wishes and good luck going forward.
  13. “For tea, ask your Retreat Host to bring an electric key kettle and tea bags, and you can make your own tea whenever you feel like it.” That doesn’t sound like modern luxury to me….
  14. Our philosophy on tipping is this: standard tips cover standard service, Extra service equals extra tips. an example of extra service is someone bringing breakfast to your cabin. A pot of coffee? Maybe $2 An entire breakfast for 2? probably $5 I’d want five to carry that tray up 7 decks and to the far end of the ship….
  15. I would choose reflection. I do not like apex, so have not sailed it, nor plans to. our all time favorite ship is silhouette, then reflection. (we were married aboard reflection) but that isn’t a a factor here. just not a fan of edge/apex and all the “eden sillyness” etc. The bow just looks backwards to me and don’t get me started on that orange monstrosity hanging off one side….. anyway REFLECTION.
