Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. DH and I were very loyal to NCL, but we got a really great deal on a YC interior and we blown away by the service in the Yacht Club. Since there were no more great deals on YC we chose to travel in a regular room. It was okay but the buffet was a letdown. The bars were great and we had no problem getting drinks. I missed the Vibe on the NCL ships. I cruise to forget that children exist and noticed quite a few people brought their children to the adult only section on the Meraviglia. We are taking our grandchildren this week on MSC because the price was so low for a holiday week. I feel like we will go back to NCL because the drink package and dining package included in price is good but I love Vibe and missed it.
  2. Anyone who has been there recently and went to Bimini beach is there a food truck at the beach? Do the trams take you there or do we have to walk?
  3. So the senior discount must mean that they think seniors don't drink that much! They must not have kept track of what I drink on a cruise! Lol
  4. The day we were on the island was windy and the waves were pushing all the rocks into shore. We took the short walk to Bimini beach, swam, went back to the YC for lunch then back to Bimini. Bimini was calm water and fish to snorkel with. You do need water shoes.
  5. Agree with everything you said. We have traveled in the Haven and loved it, but as the prices rose we opted for a regular balcony and the Vibe Club. We live Vibe because no children allowed. I had been waiting for MSC to come to NY. We managed to book a YC inside room for the same price as a balcony on the NCL Joy. We will never go back to NCL. The YC experience was amazing. The way all of the crew in the YC work together made it the best cruise ever. We hardly saw any of the rest of the ship!
  6. We split the beds in the YC interior and it gave us more space. I would attach pictures but my phone won't let me!
  7. You are right that the transport wheelchairs are lighter. I will check into that today. Thank you.
  8. We take a bus to the cruise terminal then a bus home. The bus will not get to the cruise port until 11 and we will be kicked off the boat before that. Are there any benches outside the terminal? Will be traveling with my elderly mother and was trying not to bring a wheelchair but if there is no seating I will pack the wheelchair.
  9. Sorry for asking but I cannot figure out how to do a search and actually get the information I am seeking! We cruise in May and had purchased the msc insurance. I never received any information about the insurance such as a policy number or phone number. I have called Msc multiple times but no one seems to know how to get me any information. The wonderful women I talk to just tell me I am insured. Not helpful. I tried sending an email but it went to the shipping company who politely gave me a phone number and no email to try to contact Msc cruises. Has anyone else had this problem?
  10. Jamie I always read your post in the NCL forum. I have been on two of the same cruises as you on NCL. We are going on MSC in May so I cannot wait to read your report. Just curious as to why you would not do Princess again? We are branching out and trying all the other cruise lines to see if we can get a better fit for us.
  11. In Cape Liberty there are bathrooms on the outside of the building. You have to walk to the right after exiting to find them. It was raining once when we got out and a lot of women were crowded in the ladies room.
  12. We have taken Yankee Trails many times. We always try to get off the latest we can. There are plenty of benches to sit on since they will not let you stay in the building. If it is raining or freezing cold they do have bathrooms you can stand in.
  13. We have sailed in the Haven 3 times and loved staying in the Haven proper but our last cruise on the Joy we had a balcony room and Vibe passes. We enjoyed the Vibe being kid free which Haven is not. We spent so much time in the Vibe we hardly ever enjoyed our balcony so next time we are thinking we could do an Oceanview and the Vibe.
  14. Thank you for your review. I am looking at dates to book a YC inside, but would love to know if the beds separate into two singles?
  15. We just got off the Joy and I was very disappointed in the shops. There were a few t shirts and coffee cups and water bottles, but no magnets. I had to go to the liquor store and buy candy to use up my OBC. Only one time did they have a t-shirt sale and it was the same shirts we had bought 4 years ago! Every time we cruised from Bermuda they had Rum Sizzle bottles for sale, but there was no Bermuda liquor for sale on the ship at all. If I had known I would have bought some in Bermuda.
