Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Thanks for the info! Someone had a link on here to the online listing and I saw some stuff like bingo which looks fun. Guess I'll just have to wait patiently till November.
  2. Thanks for posting! It'll be our first time too. We've been doing mostly RC and MSC (previously only did NCL) but switched to Celebrity next year because the kids club goes to 12. So excited for this all adult one though. Any chance you still have a copy of the At A Glance? Trying to find one. I'm interested to see what activities they have compared to the other lines! What did you wear to the PJ party?
  3. Hi! Just booked the Scarlet Lady 4 Night Sunsets and Soirees for November 15th. Looking for the daily activities newsletter cruise compass type thing. I found one online but the resolution was too low and I couldn't read the activities. Thanks in advance!
  4. Not sure, but my sister in law is a TA and booked all of us. if not no worries, we usually do the buffet most of the time
  5. On Meraviglia my sister in law and I did not make any special requests. We were just placed at a tiny table. There were many other couples/friends, parties of two at the late seating that were seated this way. Also you could not scoot in-between tables. They were very tightly packed. I might have a photo I can send if anyone is interested 🤷‍♀️ We'll be on Seaside in June in a party of 5. I am hoping we'll get a big round table. These were by the windows. We'll see.
  6. I took snacks back in December! Had no idea about the rule. Not sure if it was overlooked.
  7. I think it comes down to whether you're the type of person who likes club level perks. We've done it twice, in Las Vegas and in Punta Cana. Personally I'd rather do a balcony room and skip the drinks. We don't want any wifi on a cruise either. But these are definitely a draw for some cruisers 😎
  8. I miss NCL so hard! We used to do them all the time before COVID. Now we're doing RC/Celebrity due to pricing and itinerary. On the Meraviglia my sister in law and I sat at a tiny square table by ourselves. It looks like only big groups get a round table like on RC. They must be families or friends cruising together. However the small table we were at was very very close to other tables. Like we might as well been sharing. I dunno, wasn't feeling it. Not sure if every ship is like this though. We'll be on Seaside in June.
  9. My mother in law was on this sailing! She said it was cold and windy. I was surprised because I had the same weather in December but it was definitely an unseasonable cold front that drifted down from Florida. Hope you guys made it to the beach party/lighthouse show. It was so fun.
  10. Hi friends! Excited to go on our second MSC cruise in June on the Seaside 🚢 Since we don't do the beverage package I wanted to get on the Beverages page of the website/app the Bottle of House Sparkling for $19. I noticed that this is the only alcoholic beverage listed that doesn't specifically state "can be consumed in stateroom". Is this specific bottle just for consumption in the main dining room? Or is this just a weird oversight? Has anyone ordered this one bottle? Thanks in advance!
  11. Thanks for the pictures! It looks so fun 🙂 I know NCL is pricy now but if you can get on the Gem or Jewel, we did both, they are smaller ships buy had a lot of events and outdoor seating. I loved the seating behind the buffet. Our big thing with Vision was no dedicated place for films and some piano music. No white party etc 😭
  12. Hi! We're new to Celebrity. We've done NCL a lot in the past and more recently RC/MSC. We booked ABC on the Reflection for summer 2024. We don't usually ever do the specialty dining but we're interested in Le Petit Chef. I watched a tiny bit on You Tube and the concept is so cute. Is there a way to pay for one dinner or is it better to get a package? Anyone know the pricing of one dinner? I wouldn't mind dining at the specialty places, but my son usually likes the buffet and then heading to the kids club in the evening so I'd rather just do two dining packages and pay a la carte for Le Petit Chef for my son if that's possible? With RC they had a black Friday sale, I think it was 30% off excursions and the soda package last year. Is it worth waiting for one of these with Celebrity or do they not offer? Also any thoughts on the Reflection? We just got off the RC Vision and it was honestly the most boring ship we have ever been on in 17 years 😂 But had the most amazing itinerary.
  13. Awesome review! Thanks for sharing! Not sure what the cruise lines are smoking, I know they have to increase pricing all around but the drink package makes zero sense to purchase unless you're drunk all day! I guess it's more like having an all inclusive trip and not worrying about drink prices? I dunno. I was going to book the equinox, but unfortunately it skips Bonaire. We settled for the Reflection, which seems older and not as fancy. Need to cross ABC off our list!
  14. Hey! I can't help with any of your questions but I just wanted to say I did a last minute, very chilly, trip on the Meraviglia to Ocean Cay ad had a fantastic time! Did a girls trip and now booked for June with the family. Most staff seemed friendly, the only times they were cold were the Italian staff members like at the info desk or on the phone We booked a mid ship balcony room and had super noisy neighbors, there was one night were there was a wild party (I am packing ear plugs next time). Anyway the really bad part was one of our neighbors above or to the sides was smoking marijuana. It was so strong that whenever we opened the door our whole room smelled like skunk for a while. So like an old lady I called to complain to the main desk, they sent someone from security to talk to me and did nothing. Honestly i thought they could check cameras or there would be smoke detectors, but nope. Or maybe there are but they didn't follow up. So yeah, it was mostly fun. My highlight was the over night stay at ocean cay where there was a beach party and lighthouse show. Definitely a new experience for me 🙂
