Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I will have to remember to put them in my Apple wallet. I have 3 more cruises this fall, so I will be buying cards almost every month now. I need to start making my specialty dining reservations and buying CHEERS.
  2. Great!! Yes I keep a spreadsheet with my gift cards!
  3. I am well aware, I am one of those who has using gift cards down to a science. I was asking the person ab199002. They mentioned using their Obc, but didn’t discuss how they pay for the cruise.
  4. I also own stock. I like that extra OBC. How about paying for the cruise itself?
  5. I understand that reasoning, but we cruise anywhere from 2-4 times a year. We know what we spend money on. The cost of the cruise is the cost of the cruise. I don’t say to myself I am saving 10% so I will do a balcony instead of an inside. We do at least one specialty dining. We get 10% off that. We will do CHEERS, so another 10% there. We don’t buy a lot on the ship, but we do gamble. Plus we can withdraw through a slot machine what we don’t use. I spent less on the NCL ship because we didn’t gamble much because we went with a large family group.
  6. Oh no! Let us know what happens and if you know what caused it.
  7. Champa Bay Limo we used in January. We had 14 people, but they have all sizes of transportation. I can’t recommend them enough!! We couldn’t get into any of the hotels by the port, so we stayed at Holiday Inn Express Ybor City. They have a shuttle that will take you to dinner and I believe the port. But first come first served. I think their van held 8 or 9 people. We used it along with an Uber to go out to dinner. They had a decent breakfast that came with the room. There is a Wawa in the parking lot, so you can always pick up sandwiches, drinks or coffee.
  8. Awesome! I do love the Red Frog Pub on other ships, so that is good!! Thanks!!
  9. I buy my AARP gift cards then I buy cruise cash with them. This avoids me having to worry when on the ship that I need to apply the gift cards. If I am on a longer cruise I might have more digital cards to put on the cabin if I have gone through my cruise cash. I always keep an eye out before the last day to make sure that I have used up the cruise cash. If I hadn’t usually a quick trip to the casino takes care of it!

    TAMPA

    I hope they work out for you! Honestly such a great family run company!
  11. So we live near each other and might be in cabins right near each other!!
  12. We have an inside Terrazza booked for a 7 day Bermuda Labor Day cruise. While we have booked inside cabins on shorter cruises, we decided to take the chance and book this hoping we will enjoy the Terrazza area. We love the Havana on Horizon, so I hope we will enjoy this. Thanks to all who responded to BroadwayGirl, it is great to hear that people were happy with their cabins.

    TAMPA

    When planning this trip I didn’t see a lot of helpful information on Tampa and wanted to leave some. We were there on a Thursday night, and we were celebrating a 21st birthday. The birthday boy loved being with his older brother and cousins. We ate at The Bricks and the owner or manager Brian was really helpful on telling the kids where to head off to for the midnight celebration. They were all back to the hotel by 1:30. The “kids” all felt like places they went were filled with college aged kids. We had heard all the warnings about Ybor so they all knew to choose bars carefully. I can definitely see that you need to be careful around there!
