Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. We will be coming to Orlando via AMTRAK (from Virginia). If any of you have some names of shuttle/transportation services - I would appreciate the info. I don't need a lot of details - just some names so I can make phone calls to see if they indeed pick up at Amtrak and get some prices. Thanks very much
  2. unfortunately, it's not just cruise lines doing that. It's happening everywhere. She's not a big drinker, so doubtful she'll have more than two in a day.
  3. Thanks to both of you. I probably would have guessed about $6 - but this makes it much simpler and better than my guesses. (but still cheaper than my bourbon).
  4. I've been on about 18 carnival cruises - and while there is occasionally something I don't care for on the buffet OR in the MDR - I have no complaints. When I cook at home, it doesn't always come out perfect - and I'm just cooking for 2. Can't imagine cooking for hundreds or more.
  5. First of all - I'm NOT new to Carnival - but honestly have never been a beer drinker. But I'm taking a "newbie" this year - and she prefers beer over mixed drinks. She's trying to lay out a bit of a budget to make sure everything is covered moneywise - and was asking about the price of beer. NO, she does not drink anywhere near enough to get the drink package. And I realize there is probably various beer brands - at different prices. But let's just go with the normal, common beers. Can I get an estimate?? Thanks very much

  7. Thank you folks. Maybe I was just missing it on the deck plans.
  8. Is there a coffee bar on the Vista? They typically have hot an cold coffee as well as a few wonderful desserts you can buy and we frequent it nearly every evening or morning. Seems like we have had one on every ship we have sailed, but I cannot find it on the deck plans for the Vista. Typically, it's on either 3, 4, or 5
  9. Thanks folks. I felt pretty sure he could, but wanted to be sure. I do remember reading something about Mexico. We will be going to Aruba and Curacao.
  10. My grandson (an adult) is going with us next year on his first cruise. He does VAPE at home, and I'm just trying to find out if he can do so on the ships in the regular smoking areas. Not vaping marijuana - just a vape as opposed to a cigarette.
  11. We are not bringing our vehicle. We are coming in a day ahead. Should be in around 10:30 am on Friday, cruise begins on Saturday. I haven't used uber, do we wait until we arrive to contact them?
  12. We will be taking our next cruise from Port Canaveral. To get there, we are coming from Richmond to Orlando via Amtrak. Any suggestions on the best way to get from the Amtrak station to Cocoa Beach to our hotel? There will be 5 of us and arriving late morning. We haven't chosen a hotel yet, but it will be in Cocoa Beach.
  13. Thank you all so much. My main concern was if it was going to be an issue getting on the ship with the scattering tube. WE are going by Amtrak (only 3 hours away) so we should not have any screening issue. I am now convinced the carry on is the best way to go. Again, my thanks.
  14. I will be taking my late husband's ashes onboard soon to be scattered, but could use some advice. I have a scattering tube, and while it is not huge, 4 x89 cylinder, I'm trying to decide if it should be placed in my suitcase and delivered, or should I carry it in my backpack that will be carried in with me. It's a little heavier than I expected, so I am leaning toward the suitcase, but I don't know if it will be something that will cause them to decide they need to open the suitcase for inspection. It's not metal - but totally biodegradable material. And it will take a sizeable space in my suitcase. Any of you that have had experience with this, I would appreciate your input. Thank you
  15. Thanks folks. I thought that it was done thru the website, as it says you can "add companions" by using their email address, but that doesn't seem to be working. I'll give them a call.
