Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. We have used the $ off promo twice. Both of us could use it for each booking. We bought it on friday and called in on sunday to book it and were told it is now just one reward per cabin. Can no longer use one per person.You could get another answer of course but we were told it changed on Thursday and would no longer be allowed.
  2. So many transatlantic cruises have crappy ports...this one has lots of good ones with Abiza !! It is a new one for us so we are happy to be on this one. Just the right amount of sea days and port stops to make it interesting. With it leaving from New York it gave is a chance to finally stay there for a few days ahead.
  3. And you dont have to drink your bottle of wine that you get with the dinner. Keep it corked and take it to your room for later or take it home. I have a few in my wine rack now lol.
  4. Go take a look at the ports of call section. That is the best place to find what each port offers. Hawaii ports are quite different from each other. Then you can find what suits you best!
  5. At dinner one night we heard a woman complaining about her Sting Ray tour...we had been there that day so I sort of leaned over to hear what she was saying. She had booked a private tour and there were other boats in the water!!!! It was not private at all, and she wanted all her money back. She really thought it would be just her and her husband in the ocean.
  6. I go to the pool bar before entering the spa and get a glass of wine from there because it is in a plastic glass... Park myself on a lounger and read my book and enjoy my wine. I have done this on Holland and NCL and never had a problem.
  7. We have done it both ways and the $ 750 off is a better deal.
  8. I have sailed Celebrity and NCL in the last few months and I found that NCL had more options. Guiness, Bombay Sapphire , and Amaretto are available while an upcharge on Celebrity.
  9. We have two weeks on this ship in December.. I love tompouse and have not had it since being in Holland 10 years ago ...I will be ordering this !!!
  10. We sail out of Vancouver often and to make your day easier I strongly suggest you get there before ten to line up or after one. The main problem is customs that everyone has to go through first. We were on Nieuw Amsterdam in May and got there at 1:30 and were on the ship by 2. We go in 2 weeks on Koningsdam and will do the same thing. We dont need to be the first ones on and would rather not stand in line for hours.
  11. Because you like to walk, there is a beautiful statue of a whale breaching about 20 minutes away that is worth seeing. Once off the ship go left and head towards Overstreet park. It is fairly new so maybe you have not seen it yet.
  12. The Jewel is our favorite ship. You will love the spinnaker lounge to whale watch. We have been sailing lately in interior cabins and have not regretted it.
  13. We live here and sail out of Vancouver often, We find that heading to the port after 1 you will have a much easier time of it. The actual boarding starts around 11 if everything goes well and lunch will be ready for you.
  14. We love this place!! Just booked it last night for a cruise in next September
  15. We just did this a few weeks ago ... It was so good. They say all you can eat and they mean it.. they constantly walk around with big bowls of crab and give huge portions. I am pretty sure I ate at least 3 crabs maybe 4. It is dungeness boiled in salt water just like it should be.
