Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Has anyone ever used this instead of the internet package CCL offers? I'll be on the Legend, transatlantic and it's important I stay connected to home.(mostly talk and text) I'm wondering which service would be more reliable. Thanks for any info!
  2. Thanks for the link and the answers! It's a bit tricky since one is seventeen. I think they will still be required to be close to me...which is ideal, but since it's a cruise this summer, might be hard to find a balcony close to an available interior. Fingers crossed!
  3. Hi all, Apologies, I know this has been asked before but I cannot find an answer. I want to book a cruise with my son and his BFF. They are 17 and 18 years old. I don't want to share a cabin with them. I would like to book my own cabin, and book another cabin for them, on the same reservation of course. Is this possible? I am not sure about the age restrictions. I will be the only one over 21. TIA!
  4. I just can't quite get over this story. First, it's remarkable the fall didn't take his life. I always thought falling or jumping off a moving cruise ship was almost always a death sentence. Next, I just can't imagine it would be possible to tread water for so many hours. I wonder if, by some miracle, he found something in the ocean that he was able to grab on to and use to float on? Whatever happened, it is a truly wonderful ending to a harrowing event. I hope he does an interview and tells his story! I was on a cruise awhile ago when a passenger passed away by jumping. The ship was able to recover his body, which at least gave his family some closure. It was so awful. I can't imagine how elated this man's family must be. So much to be thankful for on Thanksgiving.
  5. Ah! I wasn't paying attention! My question would be, "How close to departure WERE you, not WHERE you." How embarrassing!! lol
  6. I apologize if this has been asked before. I couldn't find anything this specific regarding royal up. I booked about 8 days ago,. I leave this Sunday. A couple days ago, I received the offer to submit bids, so I submitted 5 royal up bids on 5 different cabin types. I don't expect anything, but I admit, I am hopeful. You never know, right? So question is, if you were granted the upgrade, when were you notified? Wondering if there's still hope for me. It says "pending" on all my bids. Thanks in advance. 🙂
  7. Thank you SO MUCH! I really appreciate your help! This helps me a ton!!
  8. My check-in time isn't til 1:30 and I'm concerned there won't be any parking spots left. Should I be worried? Has anyone parked this late at this pier?
  9. Coincidentally, the FB group on the Liberty right now has reported a burst pipe on deck 2. They were delayed Friday, departing from Port Canaveral. Didn't leave til around 7 or 8. They also are still reporting a bad sewage odor all around the ship. They have also reported moving some guests who were on deck 2 to other cabins.
  10. In case anyone else runs into this problem, I thought I'd follow up: So after 2 sleepless days and nights of literally refreshing the shore excursions page every 15 minutes, low and behold. someone cancelled and I was able to swipe up 2 tickets for me and my son! He's going to be so happy!! I'm so glad I didn't give up. Stalking works people! 🙂 You never know when someone might cancel. YAY!! I am one happy momma!
  11. So I booked a last minute cruise, leaving in 9 days, and literally almost everything is sold out in Coco Cay. My son was so excited to go to the water park, and it's all sold out, even the half day tickets. Is it typical for the water park to sell out? Would I be wasting my time if I keep "stalking" their website for a cancellation, or in case they release more tickets? This cruise is to celebrate his birthday and I haven't told him yet the park is sold out. I feel so bad for him! That was a big reason he wanted to go on this cruise. 😞
  12. I'm about to book a last minute cruise on Harmony, about 10 days from now. I'm not familiar too with RCCL, particularly the bigger ships. I (think?) you have to book what shows you want to go to before the cruise, is that correct? I'm wondering since this cruise leaves in 10 days, will everything be booked? I am just wondering what the negatives would be as far as booking last minute on Royal. I don't want to miss out on anything. I don't care what time I board, and I'm flexible on shore excursions and eating venues. Any advice would help. Thanks in advance!
