Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Dario is a butcher in Tuscany. He has been featured in many magazines and books. In one, (Heat by Anthony Bourdain maybe) he discussed raising his cattle herd in Italy but land cost and pasturage made it difficult so he moved it to Spain. The cows are put down in Spain and then trucked to Tuscany daily to be butchered. I don't see how any of his herd can be served onboard so it will be a partial experience but still very good I bet.n
  2. So sorry for your loss. I would urge you to go. There have been many great suggestions to fill your time on board. Meals would be the hardest time but i suspect that just mentioning it was your first cruise after your loss will have people rally around you. I am sure your husband would want you to go and enjoy yourself. I would suggest travelling with a small photo of you two together so he can still share the experience. A further suggestion from a friend was to follow her example and take a journal. She did this after the loss of her husband and essentially wrote him letters about her days and had remembrances of their times together. She said there were so many good memories that came to mind that it was as if her husband was there with her. I hope you are able to go and I hope you have a wonderful time.
  3. They are allowed and my nephew and nieces have enjoyed several times from the age of 6 and up.
  4. I hope we are offered Crete rather than Santorini. I just hate the idea of the overcrowding on Santorini. I will keep my fingers crossed!
  5. No it is different. The Regal has the Enclave Supplement Charge space with a large whirlpool, dry heat and steam heat rooms, heated loungers, therapy showers. It is co-ed and great but there is very little stimulating conversation. It is quiet and understated. I really like it.
  6. well we can say that now but not then.
  7. Maybe we could ask Bette Midler...😉
  8. This must go back to the old bathhouse days. I just can't imagine that it is unique to cruise ships.
  9. There is a complete menu of included food which I really enjoyed. In addition, there are a few items i.e. some steaks and a lobster tail available for a surcharge. I found the steaks very good but the lobster tail was not very good. I personally think it is nice to have those items available but I would not be likely to order the steak again as I found the included menu nice.
  10. I am so sorry for your loss. May the memories of your wife be a blessing. I was on the Enchanted in April and really enjoyed it. She is a big ship but I felt the Staff really made a great effort to keep people involved without it feeling frenzied. The entertainment was top notch from the big production shows down to the small venues with a solo singer, a comedian, or the small music ensembles. The food options were all great. I really like a pizza slice or a burger by the pool and often shared a table during peak hours and met some new folks who shared insights on the cruise thus far and upcoming ports. I give you so much credit for taking a cruise. While onboard, take things as they come and at your pace and have a great time. Best wishes to you!
  11. In terms of a sale, I was able to re-fare my April 27 sailing from Rome today and save $766.00, garnered more OBC and is a refundable deposit.
  12. second vote for the Bamboo Massage. I am a big guy and the massage techs sometimes struggle with the bulk and muscle mass. The bamboo gives them leverage and it feels so great. i have rarely had issues with an up-sell pressures.
  13. I agree. In recent days I have had a few simple questions about a refund and some OBC and have been on hold for hours only to be told by Mars the CSR that he could not be able to help me nor could he refer me to someone who could. I could not have a supervisor or manager's name nor be referred to another level of CSR. I will complete the 2 booked cruises with Princess but will not continue to book further cruises.
  14. Sir, clearly we know the same bears!
