Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I'm not sure if this class is still doing Alaska, but I took the Island Princess in 2012. That was a great ship for the itinerary.
  2. If this is in fact the reason, most, if not all, cruise lines hold back some of the excursion slots to sell on the ship. You may be able to find something once on board, if that is what is happening here.
  3. I don't make phone calls when I am travelling internationally. Heck, I hardly make any when I am in the states. At least for me, it saves me money.
  4. Yes, that is when we earned the money. Usually things are pretty canned, i.e. everyone on the same, route, speed, etc. It is when the thunderstorms and turbulence come along that we earn our pay!!
  5. I wouldn't mind explaining anything about the job. I just hate it when the first thing that someone says is "That must have been a stressfull job"!!!!
  6. That is the exact reason why I switched to T-Mobile. We are travelling internationally now and with no extra charges, it was a no brainer to change, plus it was cheaper. Nothing like landing in a foreign country and when you take your phone out of airplane mode, the first thing that happens is you get a text from T-Mobile welcoming you to that country. I have welcome messages from Italy, Germany, Netherlands, Ireland, South Africa, the UK, France and Monaco telling me that I get data and texts at no cost while in the country. Calls however are 25 cents a minute.
  7. Yes, I retired as an air traffic controller in the FAA and I always hate when people ask me what I do/did. I try to get away with saying that I worked for the government. When they push it and I finally tell them what I did, the first thing that 9 out of 10 of them will say is, oh, that must have been stressful. I always hate that because I know that statement is coming and I don't have the heart to say that 90% of the time, that it wasn't!!!
  8. I read an article recently about her being moved to Manhattan as part of an entertainment complex. Has anyone else heard about this? It is still sad every time that I drive over the Whitman Bridge and look over and see her rusting away.
  9. As does Delta, with bag fees waived with a Delta cc.
  10. And definitely don't look it up in Urban Dictionary!!!
  11. A torch? That has got to mean something different in Queen's English than US English!!!! Is it safe to say that is what we call a flashlight across the Pond?
  12. Our Celestyal is from 0700-0030 and, as of now anyway, only has one other ship in port that day.
  13. I read all kind of things about the "donkey path", but nothing about actually riding them to the top. Is that doable, or are they cargo haulers only?
  14. It was probably Cape Canaveral Cruise Line. They operated the former Dolphin IV, but that wasn't until '95. I'm not sure if Dolphin Cruise Line went from Port Canaveral in addition to Miami. I have an old brochure, I'll check if I find it. The day cruise was SeaEscape. They basically started the cruise sensation that Port Canaveral has become. I went on the Scandanavian Sea sometime in the early 80s, though this was for, I believe, a one night cruise to Freeport. They did have day cruises though. I still remember that Bertie Higgins of "Key Largo" fame, was the entertainer.
