Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Thank you for taking the time to help me. I found it following your instructions. Kim
  2. On past sailings, I have pre-ordered water for the cabin, however I haven't been able to find it for my upcoming cruise. Anyone remember what category you found it under? Kim
  3. I really wish they would change the Bubbles program. I just finished an MSC cruise....I could get MULTIPLE unopened cans of soda at the same time. No question at all. However, for my upcoming March Carnival cruise, I paid $245 for my husband, grandson and I to have soda...and we can't have a can....so, I will need to carry on a 12 pack in order to have a soda on my balcony when I wake up in the morning! I also loved the soda program on RCL.....the self serve machines were wonderful too.... Come on Carnival........make a change! The little things add up.....
  4. If my husband is heading to a bar to pick up a soda for himself (or vice versa), can he pick one up for me as well (If I send my card with him)? We both have the bottomless bubbles program.
  5. I am not referring to the Haven pool, rather the aft Tides pool on deck 10. Is the tides aft pool family friendly? Thanks. Kim
  6. Returned home from the Adventure of the Seas on the 20th and since I didn't find many posts about this ship prior to sailing, thought I would post a few thoughts. First the negatives...... 1) Hated the new process to enter the buffet....they have replaced the hand sanitizer process I am used to with 8 hand washing stations as you first go in the door. While I am not opposed to the concept, I like that everyone is washing their hands I feel they need to rethink this process as it sometimes caused HUGE lines that snaked out to the pool deck. I have never had such a wait to enter a buffet in all my many years of cruising. Additionally, the faucets contain hand drying stations.....This blows the germs around....poor choice during a pandemic..... Also...those that skipped the hand sanitizer stations....also manage to skip the handwashing stations as well...... 2) 2 of the soda machines are located in the buffet.....however you are not allowed to enter the buffet area when the buffet is closed. This leaves only one soda machine to service the entire ship. (Also can't get to the other drink stations (lemonade, coffee etc). 3) Waterslides...don't know if it was just a slow day...but I gave the slides a try on day one. I thought I was going to get stuck.....ridiculously slow. I had no desire to ride this again....nor did my 11 year old grandson. Now the positives...... 1) Our cabin steward kept our room in tip top shape...had great service in this area! 2) Our dining rooms meals were really good. Enjoyed quick, efficient service. 3) Our cabin had the best balcony of my life! Grab those corner aft cabins on deck 7 if you can....heaven on earth! 4) Love the new muster drill process...so much better. Overall...wonderful relaxing vacation. So glad that cruising is back! Kim
  7. I returned last night from sailing on the RCL AOS. Prior to the trip, I searched and searched these boards trying to figure out how to get from IAH airport (Bush) to Galveston. I want to share what we did in the end in hopes it helps someone else. We had an arrival eta at 0030 (30 minutes past midnight) into Bush International. Since uber can be iffy at this time of day and others we contacted declined the trip due to the late hour, I ended up booking with Galveston Limousine & Transportation. We were a group of 4 people and the one way trip was $227 before tip from the airport to our hotel in Galveston. Our flight ended up changing 3 times before we finally arrived and we contacted them each time to change our arrival and they accommodated us 100%. The driver was professional, the SUV was spacious and I had no complaints. Excellent service and I would use again. Contact information below We used Uber to get to the port...had a bit of a problem at the port as apparently Uber isn't allowed in...(our driver tried)...we ended up getting off in the port, but it was a bit stressful for a few minutes. I will mention that ubers were not easy to get while in Galveston...however, on the day the ship arrives and returns, lots of drivers come over from Houston, but the weekdays with no ship in port we struggled. We often couldn't get an XL to accommodate 4 people, so had to get 2 cars and had sometimes a 40 minute wait to get a ride. We met a local private driver in Galveston that offered to take us back to IAH following the cruise. We had early flights (1230), so we didn't want any delays trying to figure out transportation, so we made a reservation with him. He texted us to let us know he was waiting for us. Asked us to go stand under any letter when leaving the terminal and then to text him the letter and he would be right there. He charges the same fee that uber is for the date and time. Our return trip to the airport was $156 before tip. He drives a minivan and was a safe driver. His name is Mark and he was happy to have his contact information shared in this forum. He said he is available for transport from Houston to Galveston (round trip or either way )he can be reached at 817-798-2066. He responded to both my text messages and phone calls promptly. Hope this helps you with your trip planning. Kim
  8. Anyone familiar with the locations of the Freestyle Coke Machines on the Adventure of the Seas? We are aft on deck 7...trying to figure out my route for those early morning soda runs! Thanks.
