Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. You must be just north of us. We live on the north side of Ellis County. 4 hour drive is being optimistic, but it's easier than leaving from, say. Plano!
  2. we have a 4 hour drive to Galveston, and we go the day before. Traffic can be terrible and I am not willing to take that chance!
  3. SAME! Just reading all of it was enough for this old girl. πŸ˜„
  4. I'm still on page 1 of your review, but I have to say, you're my kind of people! I can almost hear you talking, while reading your comments. Come sail with us on the Jubilee so I can hang out with you. πŸ˜„ We sailed on the Panorama in February 2020, next to last cruise before the pandemic struck. She was brand new and a really beautiful ship. Took some getting used to since it was our first cruise on Vista Class.
  5. wow. I used to live down there and those flooded streets are no joke. 10 minutes of rain and the water is up to the bottom of your car door. Glad I am not going on the Jubilee until May. Mardi Gras parades and floods. No bueno!
  6. We loved Nachi Cocum . It's been a few years since we were there, but will be heading there in May, also on the Jubilee. Happy to see your review and sort of get the lay of the land/ ship, so to speak!
  7. Interested in your opinion of Nachi. I just booked it for our cruise coming up in May. Have been there before and loved it, but it's been several years... have read some recent reviews that indicate it's not what it used to be...
  8. I can vouch for the run-down appearance of the Dream. She needs some work. Furniture is worn, carpet in the cabin dirty and stained. Have sailed the Magic in 2012 when it was brand new, the Breeze 3 times, 2017 and 2021(2 times). Dream is the oldest of the three, and we sailed on it earlier this year. Definitely showing the wear and tear of 12 years of crowds. I love the Dream Class ships (deck 5 Ocean Plaza) but the Breeze and Magic are tied for 1st place on my list. Hoping that the Dream gets a cleanup before our 2025 Journeys cruise!
  9. speaking of Nachi Cocom... If you are planning to go there any time in 2024, you should reserve your spots before October 31, 2023. Price is going up to $69.00 per person on November 1. Reserve now at the current rate of $59.00 per person. We are on the Jubilee in May 2024. Just booked Nachi today.
  10. the Journeys cruise we're booked on is January 11, 2025. 14 days. On the Dream out of Galveston.
  11. Also Galveston and I agree. Have sailed from N.O., Fort Lauderdale, and Long Beach. I can't recall anything as bad as previously mentioned, but our last cruise(April on the Dream), we had an adjoining cabin and it seemed like the noise from next door was particularly loud, especially their TV. We did ask them once to turn it down. On that cruise, I spent more time than usual in the cabin because I was not feeling well. (Somebody gave me COVID, probably embarkation day, because it hit me day 5 of the cruise. Of course, COVID never crossed my mind until we got home and I did a test before I went to the doctor.) I digress, as usualπŸ˜„ Hope we don't encounter the rude people any time soon!
  12. We have a Journeys cruise booked from Galveston that will take us to Key West, San Juan, St. Thomas and St. Croix in USVI, St. Kitts, Amber Cove, St. Maarten, and Ocho Rios(not the exact order). Getting to those places from Galveston takes a long time! There is also an 11or 12 day that goes south to Aruba and Curacao.
  13. I really don't like cake frosting; I will scrape it off of almost any cake anywhere. I am a bit of baked goods snob, I confess. I'd rather bake my own cake, but I can't do that on the ship. Their cakes must be pre-made and frozen, thawed and decorated each day. The cakes, almost without exception, are coarse and dry. Pretty to look at, but not all that edible.
  14. I just booked the Jubilee for May 4, 2024 and FTTF was available. I didn't feel like forking over that much $$$, but it was available.
  15. My S.O.'s daughter works for Southwest, and dad has the free flight benefit. Bit him in the butt several times. We flew to Florida for a cruise several years ago using those benefits, and barely got seats every leg going and coming back. PreCOVID, "we" were going to L.A. to see my daughter. I paid for my ticket and wound up being by myself because dad's free flight was bumped and bumped and bumped. If we really need to get somewhere, we pay for the flight!
