Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. We're in the same position! We're driving from VA's Shenandoah Valley (which is about an equidistance from Baltimore and Norfolk.) We have the drive to Baltimore on the 5th, with a Park and Fly hotel deal, a flight on the 6th to Tampa, and concerns about getting back to our vehicle if we go to Norfolk. I keep telling myself, "one day at a time"... The most important concern is for the loss of life and the economic impact on Baltimore and the surrounding areas, as well as the supply chain issues. But that doesn't stop my anxiety over plans and arrangements. 😟
  2. Thanks for a nice, balanced review of your trip. We'll be on the Pride in 10 days, repositioning her from Tampa to Baltimore (or perhaps Norfolk, due to the Key bridge disaster). We've enjoyed several previous cruises on the Pride, and find Spirit class ships, in general, to be our favorite size.
  3. I'm on the Pride (Tampa to Baltimore??) repositioning cruise from April 7 to April 21. I feel like there will be time to find an alternate port between now and the 21st, and my first thought was Norfolk. I know they are planning to rebuild, to prepare for the arrival of the Sunshine in 2025, since Charleston will no longer accept ships. Depending on how far along the progress is, perhaps Norfolk is still a possibility. I guess speculation is all we can do at the moment.
  4. On ships with the Havana bar, you can also pick up your specialty coffees there! They are not free, though.
  5. I absolutely love the format of your report! Posting "tips" in red font, at the beginning of your posts, is so helpful! We've done this same itinerary, on the Horizon, but I've picked up on many of your suggestions. 😃
  6. Sorry I didn't see this to respond earlier. This is also exactly what I did. It's a "work around " that was suggested by Carnival's brand ambassador, John Heald.
  7. The Pride is a wonderful ship! We've sailed on her several times from Baltimore, and in 19 days we will be on the 14 day repositioning cruise bringing her back to Baltimore from Tampa. Enjoy your cruise!
  8. Sure hope you can sleep on the plane! Those middle schoolers will be primed for you tomorrow, for sure! They always are after a break.
  9. Use it when you have an expensive cruise booked! We used my husband's on a cruise to Hawaii last year.
  10. Thanks for taking the time to report! I enjoyed your take on things and your laid-back attitude.
  11. I've booked spa, paid gratuities, paid for specialty dining and excursions with gift cards (online). I've never had to use the balance on the card. In fact, I just write the amount left on the e-card, so I know how much I have left to spend. I don't know why it didn't work for you, unless it was another glitch!
  12. Hmmmm...I just went to look, and Sea Cow isn't mentioned in the excursion names. We did book them through Carnival, but maybe they're going independently now. I was able to find them on several other sites.
  13. I've seen cans of Pringles in the shops a few times, but I wouldn't count on them being on every cruise.
