Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. We, too, have stayed at The Michelangelo Hotel in NYC prior to a cruise. Very nice hotel, in a great location. We have also stayed at the Marriott Marquis a few times. We have enjoyed dinner at Gallagher’s Steakhouse, Becco, Joe Allen’s and my favorite, Raoul’s. I was with my adult son and we took an Uber from Times Square to Raoul’s. My first Uber! Ha! One of the best meals I’ve ever had, with a wonderful ambiance. Love NYC!
  2. Yes, we took a taxi from FLL to the Riverside Hotel and then we took the shuttle to the port for $12 pp. Honestly, the shuttle loaded quickly and we were on our way. I didn’t have to worry about telling a taxi driver which pier. The shuttle driver was familiar with all of it.
  3. We were in a mini-suite on the Sky Princess in January. There are no perks associated with a mini. We did receive a glass of champagne delivered by our room steward when we first went to the cabin. That’s it, though.
  4. My friend and I were on the Sky Princess in January. We played the slots, but we aren’t high rollers that’s for sure. Always the penny slots, betting around a dollar or a little more. Never more than a $2.00 bet. Towards the end of the week, we each had offers from the casino. She was offered a free interior cabin and I was offered $500 in casino cash. We would have to sail by August, 2024.
  5. We stayed at the Riverside Hotel in January. We loved it. Location is great - right on Las Olas Boulevard. It cost about $20 for the taxi from FLL. We took the shuttle that they offered from the hotel to the port for $12 each. Easy peasy. We had dinner at the Boathouse restaurant, which is adjacent. It was very good.
  6. My friend and I were on the Sky Princess in January. We had the Plus package and enjoyed lunch in Alfredo’s twice. We thought the food was very good, as well as the service. The last time I was on Sky Princess (2020), we could go to Alfredo’s as many times as we wanted. I think we went twice.
  7. My friend and I were on the Sky Princess in January. We had lunch at Alfredo’s twice and enjoyed it very much. We thought the soup was delish. She had a veggie pizza (which she loved) and I had a Margherita Pizza that was always delish. We enjoyed tiramisu for dessert. We had no complaints. The first time we went we were seated immediately. The second time, they gave us a pager and we were seated in about 20 minutes or so.
  8. We were on the Sky Princess on 1/13. Green Lane. We arrived at the port around 11:30 a.m. Gave our luggage to a porter. Got in the Green Lane and were on board in a few minutes. It was easy peasy. There is nothing to worry about.
  9. I don’t think so. Our last night was a sea day, but formal night was the night before. We were in port until 4:00 p.m. We had plenty of time to get ready.
  10. We boarded the Sky Princess on January 13th around 11:30 a.m. We were in the Green Lane and it was the best. We were on board in a few minutes. Blue Lane was long. We were very happy!
  11. I got off the Sky Princess two weeks ago today. I have avoided getting Covid so far, and I was hoping to cruise for a week and not get it. I got the most recent Covid vaccine in November. I wore a mask on the plane to Fort Lauderdale. I ALWAYS wore a mask while on an elevator. The ship’s elevators were usually very crowded. We were on Deck 15, so usually one of the last to get off. We always washed our hands before entering the buffet and tried to use our cabin bathroom, when it made sense. I am happy to report that my friend and I stayed healthy.
  12. We were in a connecting Mini-Suite on the Sky Princess last week. There was absolutely no noise coming from the other room. Didn’t hear a thing.
  13. We were in the Tower (new section). We had a room with two queen sized beds. It was a nice sized room and the bathroom was big, too. If the difference isn’t too much, I would go with the newer section.
  14. We stayed at The Riverside Hotel two weeks ago. The hotel is lovely. I would stay there again and can highly recommend.
