Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. On my last NCL ship, I think it was around 10pm.
  2. I have load of arthritis. I go in the evening. I use the Thalassotherapy Pool first for quite a good while limbering up everything. And, then relax on the stone loungers for 1/2 hr. Then sraight back to stateroom, take a quick shower and hop in bed. Works a treat every time for me and makes the following busy day a great day.
  3. Great topic. I will be in a regular Balcony. How far out from cruise date can I purchase a Thermal Suite Pass. Would use it most evenings on a uropean, port heavy cruise. Thanks.
  4. I noticed in the online booking process for a cruise I was interested in, the overall stateroom category description for Oceanviews had a picture of an oceanview cabin with the doubled bed horizontal up against a large circular (oversized porthole) window. Nice! Rather like the Panoramic Oceanview Cabins RCCL has reconfigured on older ships like Explored or is it Voyageur. But, moving forward after selecting Oceanview, you are presented with the usual options/pictures NONE of which is pictured like the one on overall Oceanview Category sales representation. You've got to watch these cruise lines. Let the buyer beware. Maybe Celebrity has also reconfigured bows of some of their ships too? If so, which. I'd consider as a Solo. I've taken at least 15 cruises and always used a balcony. Wouldn't mind booking an Oceanview if large window is beside the bed instead of at the head of the bed behind you. I also like the looks of the Infinate Veranda
  5. Update. Pleased to say I called this AM around opening 9am. Got the "4min approx wait time" message yet again and after 40 minutes a lady answered! Very knowledgeable and she resolved the 2 reservations that had been set up. The confusing refundable/nonrefundable deposit explanation for a new Celebrity cruiser as well as the "perks all included" explanation takes time to consider, explain, compare etc. I'd never seen either sales approach on other lines. Rep was one patient soul, but the call about those and other questions took up a lot of her time. I didn't go there about the new pricing promotion angle they started right after I booked. Thanks for everybody's help.
  6. I travel Solo, so hyper $$$ conscious. Unless your TA is your BFF or cousin, they wont check often enough online to catch price drops or find a better deal like I'm prone to do. Did try one when a friend booked thru a TA and I decided to use hers to book one. Happily, I found us both a price drop.
  7. Thanks. Do you mean 5:30-6:30AM? Yes. #1My booking number problem.... is now resolved. I had 2 & 2 cabins. I just called Celebrity Air and got immediate response. I asked them to plug each in and had the rep plug in both, all set. #2 I included beverage and internet? What I'd get? I don't drink, but use phone daily for pictures to grandson who follows me on cruise mapper. Can I cancel beverage and get $ off. ? I might have expresso (a specialty in afternoon) and do they keep on board non-alcoholic beer and wine? 3. How does the overnite in Ravenna work? A true overnite or does ship anchor off Venice? I haven't found any other Venice itineraries coming up that have this to check a Roll Call. 4. How many days out does Celebrity post shore excursions so I remind myself to call about one listed in the general port destination area on the website that is low capcity I want to be sure to get.
  8. Booked cruise with them recently. Have cruised with 5 other lines. I'm Using: 1-888-533-7803. Just need a few items clarified, but hold times the last 3 days have been 1 hour, 40min, & just now 40minutes when I gave up. Each time the automated person has said high volume, go online or hold on with expected 4 minutes wait time? Do I have the wrong number?
  9. Are there chairs and/or shady spots at Columbus Cove?
  10. They ALL might like to use a little bit of foreign currencies for something small, ice cream or candy. And get coins back in change as souvenirs.
