Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Ya... my Phil Esposito rookie card ended up clothes pinned to my bike spokes... what was i thinking
  2. The menu also describes the dish now as well (eggplant/ chickpea/potatoe), not just the generic descriptor.
  3. We are there mid October... would you consider that quiet season? We are considering a guided tour of the castle from a third party in advance (we have always found it worth the extra cost to do guided tours). Do you know if the "guided" castle tours are available from the X99 ticket sellers. We would also like to do the hoho bus after a 10 am castle tour. If our ship docks at 0800 would you think a 1000 tour is reasonable (considering tender, walking, x99) My wife loves scones with clotted cream and jam... can you recommend a shop? Thank you so much for your help
  4. Do you recall if the train you boarded was at the Dalmeny station... is that were you " walked a good 10 min away" If you went to Edinburgh Castle did you buy your tickets in advance?
  5. Are you sure... they look like the same thing in the packaging. We were on the Venezia Feb 2 - Mar 4 and they had the toiletry bags every cruise
  6. On our most recent experience on the Venezia they allowed us the %50 off 2 bottles (one per person) Not sure if they would have allowed 4 bottles if there were 4 in our party. She said she had to run it by the manager so i expect it may vary depending on ship/ manager
  7. So if the Pride draft is 25.5 feet would a 35 ft channel be sufficient for a safe passage. Is 25 foot draft measured on a fully loaded ship?
  8. I have sailed out of Baltimore twice but for the life of me can't remember what it looks like. Does anyone have any pics of the port to refresh my memory? Sailing out of Baltimore (🤞) May 26
  9. Doing this one next Apr... first cruise with our Granddaughters!!! My favourite itin so far was B2B in Europe (eastern and western med on the Pride) then journeys out of Manhattan on the Venezia. Dominica, Grenada, St Lucia, Antigua and St Maarten. We have Hawaii coming up this fall so that may change?
  10. Haven't read this whole thread but we really enjoyed the Pontchartrain hotel in the Garden district. Not far from Commanders Palace and right on St Charles Ave streetcar route. Unique rooms with very comfortable beds
  11. Not one person crying in this video... maybe its just me lol
  12. Agree with you on Jonathon Tempanelli, have seen his show 4 times and would line up early to see his next one
  13. It was in the middle, I believe it was taken out during the pandemic (if I have the right ship) It was more like a large hot tub. There was also a current (lap) pool on one ship in the gym which was removed as well ( possibly the spirit or freedom)
  14. Every time I get off the Pride I tell my wife "yup....that's my favourite ship". Combination of size, layout and staff. Loved that small pool in in the gym but alas i think it is gone... sigh
  15. If you happen to end up in the piano bar could you post a pic ? Our first cruise on the Radiance is this December and piano bar helps to keep us out of the casino LOL
