Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Since it's a two person cabin, I'm wondering if the couch even folds out into a bed? If so then I see no problem with it. If not he might be too tall at 16 to just sleep on the couch.
  2. On our last cruise we went to our cabin just to drop off our bags (we had FTTF) and didn't expect to stay. When we got there around 1130 the door was closed and there were no keys in the mailbox. As we were leaving our steward suddenly showed up, opened the door for us and told us he was finished with the room, then said we could stay but the keys wouldn't be there until around 1230. We went to eat and came back to find the keys waiting just like he said. If he hadn't have told us we could stay we wouldn't have and I won't plan on it for next time.
  3. Since the restart I've always picked up my water at the bar. On my last cruise I went to the Atrium bar and the bartender told us our steward had already marked the two bottles in our cabin as our free bottles so we could just go ahead and drink those. Next time I'll ask my steward if we can take those instead of going to a bar. If I don't it would be my luck I'd drink them and get charged.
  4. Looking forward to trying MSC. Been wanting to try them for a few years now but my wife won't fly unless it's absolutely necessary. If the cruise I have booked for December of '25 wasn't a 10 day Panama cruise I'd cancel in a heartbeat and book MSC. Hoping maybe I can book a spring '26 cruise. The itinerary doesn't worry me as Seascape looks nice enough that I probably won't want to get off the ship.
  5. That's a shame if they're really making it into a casino. I saw a couple of good movies on Vista. I remember seeing a door on Deck 4 aft (IIRC) that was marked Conference Room. I'm surprised they don't put it there like they did on the Dream class.
  6. No worries. I didn't even think about PCP looking similar to PVP. Should have just said Doctor instead.
  7. My wife had to have stitches for a bad cut on her arm before a cruise a couple of years ago. When we realized that the date to have them removed was during the cruise we contacted our PCP for advice. She said leaving them in an extra couple of days wouldn't hurt.
  8. Got a postcard a couple of days ago and decided to Google the name of the show and the phone number and it led me to this thread. Card looks similar to the one posted earlier in the thread. First 50 callers get the $100 dining card. Being held at the Courtyard by Marriot in Houston but doesn't say which one. Only one of them is close to me. There are at least a half dozen of them in and around the city. Says I'll get my choice of 4, 5, or 7 day cruise on Carnival, Royal, or NCL (apparently it's my choice). I have enough experience with vendors in the cruise ports to easily say "No" for a mere 90 minutes, but reading about the hoops I might have to jump through to actually get the cruise makes this a no-go for me.
  9. Ours did the same on Breeze last month. We had FTTF but arrived a bit late and didn't get to our cabin until around 11:30. The door was closed and we were about to walk away when our steward came around the corner, said he was finished and that we could stay. He did warn us the S&S cards wouldn't be in the mailbox for about another hour. We dropped our bags, ate lunch, and came back around 12:30 to find the cards waiting for us. Gave him a little extra on top of the cash tip we normally would leave for great service.
  10. You also get priority debarkation which can get you off the ship earlier if you need that perk, and you get to use the priority line at Guest Services which can save you a lot of time if you have an issue that requires a GS visit. I've only ever had to visit GS twice and having FTTF made it a quick visit.
  11. Yes. I was just on Breeze a couple of weeks ago. I'm also an early riser and had no problem getting coffee in the buffet before 0600.
  12. It was only available two days out of five on my last cruise, and two days out of seven on the cruise before that in the buffet. You can get it every day though if you eat breakfast/brunch in the MDR.
  13. We had the regular cakes on Breeze last week. They were slicing them thin enough to see through, but at least they were the original cakes.
  14. He said the same thing during a Q&A the last time I cruised with him, but this seems to be an abrupt way to do it. I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to this that we may never know unless something leaks out.
