Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. We are wine lovers and I've already made reservations for the one wine tasting they have, but we'll definitely check for others. Tastings are one of our favorite cruise activities. This crossing is also a theatre theme so we'll have lots to do.
  2. Thanks for the words of encouragement and the balcony pictures. Hope the weather is nice enough at the end of June to be able to enjoy the balcony. We've (me and my sister) never been farther than 2 days from land so this crossing should be interesting.
  3. I'm on the June 15th crossing and received a similar upgrade offer. One of the reasons we chose the PG was because of the separate walk-in shower (as opposed to the large shower/tub combo). I considered the upgrade but after my TA confirmed that the QG suites available with the upgrade do not have showers, we're sticking with our PG. This is our first Cunard sailing.
  4. Thanks for the quick reply. Will dive into my booking in the next few days and explore.
  5. This is so helpful. I just made final payment on our first Cunard sailing, which is also the British theatre at sea crossing. We’re in a PG suite and this thread is great. One question about PG with regard to wine. I know we get two bottles on embankment but what else without having to purchase a beverage package. Should we bring our own? We live in NY so getting to the port will be easy. TIA
  6. I believe this is a regular (annual) Cunard event. Can someone offer some details about what is offered - lectures, classes, join-in activities, etc. Are they interesting, fun, informative? My sister and I are both theatre lovers (she actually works in the theatre) and we're looking for something different. In the spring we did a Broadway cruise (charter group of about 40) on Regent and that was good/fun but not really what we thought it would be. I called Cunard, but they really weren't much help. Any and all feedback is appreciated.
  7. I'm going to be on the Splendor (first time on Regent) this coming Wednesday (woohoo). We're in PH 914 which is right next to the PH accessible cabin (916). Maybe I can get a peak from our neighbors. My sister also uses a scooter and walks full time with a cane. We opted to not get an accessible cabin (mainly because they only have 3 and no availability). Also we specifically chose the PH because it has a walk in shower in addition to a bathtub (tubs are hard). Stay tuned...
  8. We’re taking our first regent cruise and staying at the AKA Brickell in Miami the night before our cruise. Why do you recommend taking an Uber instead of the Regent transfer if it’s part of the the package?
  9. Our first (me and my sister) Regent cruise. Out of Miami on Splendor Feb 1. Our pre cruise hotel is called Hotel aka Brickell. Anybody?
  10. Just off oasis. Still running. Great dancers, good sets, mediocre show 🤣🤣
  11. Oasis has one too. Self service and makes a mean cappuccino
  12. We just got on Oasis. Thought everything at the port was incredibly organized. About a 25 minute cue to get to bag drop but I expect that with thousands of people checking in. Once we got the bags dropped off we were on the ship in 30 minutes.
  13. We started with a Guaranteed Suite cabin (first time doing a guaranteed cabin). We were, of course, booked into a junior suite. We put in a RoyalUp offer but never got anything so when I asked the TA what the actual cost to upgrade to a 1-bed grand suite, it was less than what our Royal Up offer was so we took it. We have Coastal Kitchen access, VOOM is included, happy hour, concierge, etc. Can't wait - we leave in 2 days!!
