Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I have a clear (non-colorized) Adventure of the Seas crystal block and am interested in trading for a non-colorized Ovation, Anthem, Rhapsody or Spectrum block.
  2. I called this morning about a price drop of $600 on a cruise with final payment early next week and received it with no issues and no pitch to book a higher category cabin.
  3. I just returned from a cruise on Spectrum last week. My daughter and I had an excellent tour in Penang. which I booked through Viator. . It is the Penang flexible 6 hour highlights tour. You choose what you want to see and do. My daughter and I both thought it was one of the best tours we’ve done https://www.viator.com/tours/George-Town/Penang-Free-and-Easy-6-hours-Tour/d51052-103531P9
  4. RCI has broken down the 4 world cruise segments to smaller journeys. There is a Valparaiso to LA 19 night journey.
  5. My daughter and I just got off Spectrum. We had a fabulous time Although this question wasn’t asked, others may be interested in knowing that from day 1 on, they were selling a 10 drink card for $80. Signs were posted at the bars
  6. I am on leg 1 only. This sentence shows up on my invoice: As part of your ROUND THE HORN: AMERICAS AND ANTARCTICA Expedition package, these gratuities for the full duration of the sailing are included, and guests will not see a daily charge onboard.
  7. I just booked yesterday under the current discount offer using a PCC. Maybe call back if you're eager to book now.
  8. Good to know. We’ll take layers. Of course by February, 50s and 60s may seem somewhat balmy to us.
  9. We just received our Pinnacle crystal today. I didn’t realize the name of the ship and date of sailing on which the milestone was reached is etched into the crystal. I was surprised our cruise certificate expires April 30 since we didn’t reach Pinnacle until June. 2022. I booked a Navigator sailing in February - we haven’t done that itinerary from CA to Mexico since 2009. Looking forward to going back.
  10. We did a British Isles cruise this last summer. The only port you list which we did not go to was Liverpool. Following is some general info regarding the ports. Inverness: The port is in a very small town and in my opinion, opportunities would be wasteed staying in port. We have been 4 times. It seems most people go on a ship or private tour to Loch Ness and Urguhart Castle. We have also done private tours to Dunrobin castle, distilleries and surrounding areas. This year we rented a car and drove to the Black Water Falls, The Singleton of Glen Ord distillery and to Beauly to see the Beauly Priory. We have always had a great time in the Scottish Highlands. Glasgow: The port of Greenock is not close to Glasgow or Edinburgh. There were no convenient rental car locations this summer. Because we love Edinburgh more than we like Glasgow, we booked a "Edinburgh On Your Own" tour through RCI. For us, the time spent getting to and from Edinburgh was well worth it, but others might think differently. We have been to Edinburgh several times so we did not feel like we needed to see everything. I know many people also took the RCI transfer to Glasgow. Belfast: We took a small group tour to Giants Causeway with Odyssey Tours. It was a very good tour for the price. Holyhead: We had a fabulous day in Wales and can't wait to return. We rented a car and drove to Conwy to see the castle, Beaumarais to see the castle and then to the train station at Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. Conwy castle was unbelievably interesting. Cork: The port of Cobh is fairly small. Due to limited time in port, we stayed there and explored on foot. If you are mobile, a walk up to see the cathedral is worth the hike. We then just poked around town, had some drinks at a pub and ate lunch at a restaurant with an outdoor deck at water's edge. Dover: Although a bit of a steep hike, we walked to Dover Castle and were glad we did. Great views and very informative employees/volunteers. I purchased tickets online so we didn't have to wait at the ticket office. When we walked back down to town we just had drinks in a pub and then found a restaurant by water's edge with great views of the ship. It's a great itinerary. You can't go much wrong regardless of what you decide to do.
  11. I just accessed my online account to try to make dining reservations for an upcoming cruise. My account says I have 0 reservations. When I tried to re-add the cruise I’m trying to plan I got an error message stating that cruise had already been linked to my account. But the account page still shows 0 reservations. Has anyone else dealt with this in the past? How was it fixed? Do I need to call RCI?
  12. Glad to hear shipments are happening. We are waiting on one from a Jewel cruise in June.
  13. We always worry more about our children. I'm sure your son will be fine - especially as he will be with a RCI employee. What an adventure he will have. My youngest daughter went on a 2-1/2 month solo trip to Russia, South Korea, Japan and China when she was 25. Her trip included a short cruise out of Shanghai but the rest was land based. The biggest problem she had was getting to Moscow in time for a Trans-Siberian train trip - she was stuck overnight at JFK due to weather and had to work through getting a change in airlines. She returned with even more independence (if that's possible) and confidence in her trouble shooting skills. She and I just reserved a cruise on Spectrum for January 25.
  14. How thoughtful and beautiful that you arranged this ceremony and loved ones were able to join you. I am sorry for your loss and hope that good memories will ease your loss. It was very thoughtful of you to share the requirements and information for others who are thinking of doing the same.
