Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. To lx200 GPS - May I make a suggestion as to staying in Woburn instead of Burlington? Woburn is not very far up the road from Burlington. There is something called Logan Express. The bus goes directly to the airport. You then take Silver Line 1, go to the first station in the tunnel and transfer to Silver Line 2. Silver Line 2 goes to the pier. Parking at Logan Express lots is $7 per day. There are a lot of hotels in Woburn.
  2. Happy Birthday, Lois. My condolences to you and your sister. I'm sure your sister would like to be with family at this difficult time.
  3. The sofa beds are not comfortable for adults. They usually pull out from under the sofa. Also they are not are high as a bed. Will this be a problem for the woman traveling with you? This is a 10 night cruise so your companion should be comfortable and be able to sleep. 3 adults in the cabin will be tight. How about splitting the bed into 2 twins and everyone can take a turn on the sofa bed (3 nights for two of you and 4 for another)?
  4. Good to hear Les is home and now needs to recuperate from retina surgery. Hoping everything goes well for him.
  5. Melody, Sorry to hear about this. I'm sure you weren't expecting this news. You never know with a fall. Hoping your recovery will go well.
  6. I would want my own room, too. I have looked at national park tours but nothing caught me eye. You won't know if you like something unless you try it.
  7. Hi Lois, I looked at the ES website and noticed they are part of Hilton. I called and booked a room and cancelled BW. The best part is I used Hilton points. I always get a refundable rate. When I searched for hotels close to Newark Airport with port shuttle, ES did not show up.
  8. Hi Lois, I was just looking at the East Coast departures board and saw you were looking for info on hotels and car service to the port. I am staying at the Best Western Newark Airport because they offer shuttle service to the port. It is $30 and you tell them when you check in. I have stayed there before and had no problem. There were also other cruisers in the shuttle, too.
  9. I feel fine. I monitor my BP and record the numbers per MD's instructions. I just need to get the right balance of meds/no meds to keep the numbers steady. Going off the BP meds seems to have helped.
  10. Hi Lois, I was just on the Celebrity board and saw you booked a Bermuda cruise. I am also going to Bermuda/MV on 5/11 on Eclipse. This is a birthday cruise. I was originally booked on Epic to Alaska 5/31 but due to my recent health issue, I did not want long flights and to be so far away from home. I also want to make sure that things are holding steady. I have a problem with new BP meds. I called my MD Friday and he told me to take half a pill instead of whole one. Yesterday I had to call him because my readings are too low and my ankles were swollen (a side effect of the meds). He took me off the BP medication. I booked Alaska for next May, refundable just in case.
  11. Besides a sewing kit, an eyeglass repair kit would be helpful to have at guest services. Here's what happened to me on one of my cruises. A lens came out of the frame of my glasses. I went to guest services to see if they had something to repair this. They did not but told me to go to the jewelry shop because they have small tools. They were also of no help. I ask my room steward if he had anything and he said no. As I was talking about this, a guest walked by and overheard my request. The guest had an eyeglass repair kit. He kindly fixed my glasses. I now take an old pair along just in case. When I received the survey after the cruise, I mentioned that having an eyeglass repair kit at guest services might be a good idea.
  12. Melody - Glad you had a good trip even after falling. Good to hear you both made it home safely. Lois - Good news your numbers seem to be going in the right direction.
  13. Yes, either a 10 or 11 night, on the Island Princess.
  14. Has anyone gone on or booked one of these cruises? I am looking at one in June.
