Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. There was only one small 1200 ton ship scheduled to call on Kotor on the 11th, so overcrowding doesn't appear to be the issue. Mistakes can happen. Shoot, we even had one cruise with Silversea that had an itinerary change that we weren't notified about until we boarded the ship. Apparently, someone had miscalculated the distance between ports and some had to be dropped and others added to keep the ship on schedule. That was interesting. I would have hated to be working at the excursion desk onboard. Maybe the port made the decision and just informed Princess or there was some technical reason that Princess had to call it off.
  2. Sorry, I missed that one. I hope everyone that is booked on the Sun makes it to Kotor. It is a gorgeous port.
  3. I think a murder mystery on a cruise would be fun. Years ago my wife and I wrote and directed a couple of mysteries for a small group of friends where each had a part to play. One was Murder on the Mauritania and the other was Hijinx in the Hindenburg. We gave the actors crazy names like Senator Phillip Buster and textiles heiress Polly Esther. It was a blast.
  4. I think High Seas Heist is only available on ships sailing the Red Sea or off the coast of Somalia. 🤪
  5. According to the Kotor port schedule, the Sun was to be in Kotor on the 11th, again on May 6th, June 17, July 29, August 19, September 9th. The Sun Princess at 175,000 tons is by far the largest ship on the port schedule. http://www.portofkotor.co.me/ I suspect, as previous posters have pointed out, is the ship is too large to navigate the channel. Celebrity Edge is slightly shorter and slightly narrower than the Sun, and is 140,000 tons and only calls on Bar, not Kotor for every Montenegro stop this season.
  6. We actually docked in Kotor a few years ago when on the Azamara Quest and remember one of the Princess ships anchored. This is a beautiful port and one of our most memorable cruises. It would be a shame to miss it.
  7. Really? A $12 charge if you want eggs and bacon in the morning. Do they charge for room service every time you order something throughout the day? That's insane!
  8. We are considering a fall 2025 TA cruise between HAL and Celebrity. Both are similar in price with similar sailings, but the Have It All package with HAL seems to include more. This would help doing a side by side comparison. Thanks in advance.
  9. We had the same thing happen on our Nov Regal cruise. Our situation was a little different. We were in an accessible Mini. Since there were no accessible Minis available in the base category we were only charged for the base Mini Suite. When the base fare went down, we tried to re-fare, but the price actually went up. So we canceled the original booking, and booked online at the lower price.
  10. I've seen that too! We had her booked, but she got sold before we were able to cruise on her. We got a nice offer from RSSC that made up for it, but we still would have loved to sail on her at least once.
  11. Can you imagine? Isaac, can I have another drink please? Sure, but where is your medallion sir? 🤪
  12. Agree 100%. It's everything. I just retired after 30years working for a national homebuilder as Senior Market Manager. A glorified name for sales. The prices were going up so dramatically that we had to start stripping amenities out of homes and build smaller ones on smaller homesites, just to keep them somewhat affordable. Then got the double whammy of rising interest rates.
