Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. If this has been answered, please point me to the post or web page. 2 days 16 hours 33 minutes. 4 traveling, my wife and i with her son and gf (over 21) on Discovery Princess, 2 bedroom suite, with my CC being the only csrd on record. Happy to pay for certain things, drinks, spa, tips, speciality dining as examples. I justt saw the Princess page on gambling where it looks like Bingo, Slots and possibly other games of "chance' can be played from almost anywhere on board using a smart phone. What if any controls in some areas are available that could apply to some but not others? On the bright side, if they win, goes back to my account - 🙃. many thanks.
  2. Discovery Princess Christmas cruise already has a number of Christmas movies listed - How the Grinch Stole Christmas, The Santa Clause, Elf, Christmas with the Kranks,
  3. I hope this has changed. Is there an option to simply put no information on the screen? Why was this every necessary?? ~~D
  4. We sale on Dec 23 - in a Sky Suite on Discovery. Does anyone recall the type of pods the Nespresso machine in these 2 suites - Origional pods or the new larger style Verturo? Medallion's - is there a color dedicated to the Sky Suites. Finally (For Today), I understand from reading variuous posts - outside the doors to the cabin, the screen has the names of the occupants? It it possible not to have this visabloe.or 1st names only? Thank you..... David
  5. On Discovery Dec 23 - silence on the opening so far
  6. The Joys and the riisks I am responsible for proper preperations, domestic and international. Visas, medications, flights, back ups, travel documents..... I know where I'm going I know the rules that a country/city/region and business may have. I know anything can change, at any time, for a million reasons. I know how to find translations I recognize the person I'm speaking with may not have current information, have. little practical knowledge. At the end of the day, I have to take care of myself and be prepared. 2 weeks from now I'm getting on a HAL ship, first cruise in over 2 yearsm planning to do all the things I enjoy, leaving the ship healthy. If not, I'll be prepared. (i Hope). Safe Healthy Travels everyone - I was stuck overseas on 9/11. I've been stuck in a remote part of the globe on what should have been a few days turned into 10. I've had a flight canceled for 12 days straight and the goat they sacrificed on the runway failed solve the issue. I had a 14 day honeymoon booked on one boat - split into two different boats - having to share a cabin with 2 crew.

  8. The current machines are Nespresso??? There is another thread about a machine that does not use nespersso pods. Does the zuiderdam have Nespresso Machines in the Neptune suites? (Hoping).thanks!
  9. We took 3 of our grand children (no parents) on a 7 day Disney cruise - family suite - club access - and thought for those 7 days we would never see them except meals. They only wanted to be with us! Always, everything, The stops did little other then the private island - basically the ship could have left port - gone 20 miles out to sea, did big circles -and they would have been just as happy. If you have had a sip of the Disney coolaid - it's fantastic they know exactly who their customer is. We enjoy our disney experiences - at the California Parks - this is a cruise brand you have to 'get' and know what to expect imo. and yes.... expensive, We are next on the 5 day HAL Zuiderdam - can't wait for the schedule - relax, relax, bingo maybe followed by relax, sun goes down - .... No go cart track.
  10. thanks everyone - question answered and solved
  11. On Monday this week - we deided to take the Vancouver to San Diego 5 night cruise leaving Sept 28. Went through the booking process until putting in my information. We have moved in the past 8 months, address incorrect, phone number no longer existed, while passport info wasn't asked at that time, that too has been reissued. I clicked on the 24 hr hold however I doubted it would actually be held without complet info for the 2 of us. The next day I recieved an e mail to finsih the booking - and as I have done the past - turned it over to my TA. What came back was only a guarentee of the catagory - not the room I had seleted. i'm pidky the cabins I select. Never near elevators that ping, or high traffic steward areas, where exhust smells are reported - I'm picky. That and sorting through the various decks and 3 cabin desginatons that Neptune Suites have - not quite sure what to do. It's not even an issue of the lowest price - just being ok with the location. We've sailed on this ship several times, looking aforward to some sea days after a long few years..... Thanks for any thoughts. ~~D
