Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Not to sound like We are snob's when it comes to Cruising . However RCCL doing away with what used to be the Viking Lounge / And stuck Coastal Kitchen or Another Specialty Restaurant and the Suite Lounge with a view there in it's Place . An putting what their now calling the Crown Lounge down on Deck Four with a Virtual Wall in it was a Disappointment ~ Same can be said for the Quantum Class / Putting what they call the Concierge Club with a View ,, and again the Crown Lounge down on Deck Four ! ~ To some individuals . They'll never know the difference . Only because they've never experienced it , However We / I have , an We do recognize the differences . Sane could be said for the Stateroom Attendants only cleaning your room once a day . Where as it used to be twice a day . These changes may not seem like much , Yet the price for a Cruise hasn't gone down ! Yet Standards an Qualities have across the entire fleet . I'll stop there . Sincerely ~ JLvacation
  2. Thank You / Yes I took the easy way out . After reading the first few pages, I ended up just jumping to the back . an read down from there . I'm not scared to ask for help . which is why I did just that 😉 Between the Professional Cruiser's & Travel Agents ! It was much easier to just ask for help from You an them . Then to read every post ! So again ~ Thanks JLvacation
  3. Good Morning All I want to start by Thanking hankandteri, for starting this Discussion . I'm not a Travel Agent / Nor am I affiliated with any other Travel Stuff > We / I just really enjoy Cruising threw Life . Whether it be the Food or just the Lack of Customer Service to the People that make the Cruising Industry what it is Today ! ~ We / I have talked to My Better Half more then once about these exact Cruising Topic's ! We tried going to a all inclusive resort once , just to compare it to being on a cruise . We ended up booking another Cruise while we where there . ( ROTFL ) However We are trying to adjust to the industry changes that these Companies are making . We have some Cruises coming up for the holiday with Family , as well as one with people that We introduced to Cruising for their Honeymoon getaway , That they asked us to go with them ~ Being they where new to cruising . An We always talked it up ,{ That if your going to take a Vacation / Cruising's the way to go } ~ So we are definitely comparing the Pro's & Con's to the way We / I remember cruising use to be . To the way it is becoming . Please , If anyone has any suggestion's to help our cruising experience in the future ! Whether it be Cruise Lines or Basic Tip's .... Please tell Me ! Sincerely ~ JLvacation
  4. ~ This Topic is as Amusing as People who expect to be treated a certain way when cruising ! Yet here's a Curve Ball ~ Who here tip's cash to their room steward on day one , when meeting the person who will be taking care of You and Your Families / Need's and Want's while on the Cruise . We Tip Our's / And have found it to be a Positive Outcome , Every Time ! ~ We have gone to Guest Relation's on day one ! An asked them to remove automatic tipping ! It's nothing personnel ! All in All this will always be a hot topic ! I just hope at the end of your Cruise . That your as nice to the crew as they are to you .... And Paying it Forward is Something Everyone should at least consider when cruising !
  5. ~ We have looked at some Cruising for the not so well off , And when We make that Leap into the Exclusive League ! ~ Will let you all know how it is , and Wuz to be on that style of cruising . We have been loyal to one Cruise Line for so Long , It has almost reached a level of why go anywhere else . Celebrity / RCCL has been good to us thou . And our Youngest Daughter is off to College Next Year ... So we are just trying to Cruise at one day at a time . Hope Your Having A Nice Day ! J.L. & Bree
  6. - Afternoon to all, Thank You for the information being posted here . We have an upcoming Cruise in September. We have done out of Rome before, and this will be My first time going out of Spain ! We are trying to plan coming in a few days early , as well as a few days after the Cruise. So I’m trying to soak up as much information as possible. Thank You … J.L. & Bree
  7. ~ I have read a lot of the post here . Some Positive , Some Not ! Must admit , When I saw ( Maryland Style Crab Cakes ) ~ I Laughed so hard that I'm still chuckling inside ... We joke that it was do to Us year's ago / That they took that name off of their Menu's ` and just had it listed as ( Crab Cake ) ~ Which it still a ongoing joke to us ! Being we are from Maryland ! An have a standard to be met when saying Maryland Crab Cake ! an seeing Old Bay on their Menu is going to make it that much more interesting on our upcoming cruise ! The New Style of Menu's reminds us of another cruise line that We have been on , However I'll leave them nameless as this is a RCCL site ! Looking threw the Menu's ... There's some I'm looking forward to trying , Where as there's a few days that I'll just say that We will probably just go to the Wind,Jammer ! Also I read on another thread here . Where they are putting limit's on ordering thing's ! Because People are ordering , However not eating them . Which in turn is leaving them with out for later Diner's ! ( Lobster Night ) being one of them ! If anyone here can confirm these changes , Please do ! Not that I'm a over eater . However I like My shrimp cocktail's ~ as Well as 2 Lobster's when available ! Hope Everyone's Having A Good New Year ! Sincerely : J.L.
  8. ~ Thanks ~ We did the Allure of the Seas a few years back ! And it was Amazing to see the Technology that they are coming up with . Yes the Enchantment is no Comparison to some of the Newer Ship's ! And to be Completely Honest ~ Going on the Harmony of the Sea's is getting really close . And Yes we booked the Symphony of the Seas while on the Enchantment ! So we are already talking about tossing another cruise in some time next Year ! We just aren't sure / Which or Where ! It's funny you mention good walking shoes . My last good pair just finally blew apart from maximum usage . So Bree ordered Me a New Pair which just arrived the other day ! Which I have been trying to break them in before We leave for the Upcoming Cruise ~ and will Definitely be ready for the Symphony for our 20 Year Anniversary Cruise 🙂 Thank You J.L. & Bree
  9. - We just got off a 9 Day out of Baltimore on the Enchantment of the Seas , as Well in a few weeks We are going out of Orlando on the Harmony of the Sea’s for 7 Days ! We booked a cruise on the Symphony of the Seas for our Anniversary next year ! How would you say the Symphony of the Sea’s compares to these Ships ? Just Curious ! Thanks Sincerely for any info ! J.L. & Bree
