Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I charge mine in the morning right when I get up. By the time I’m done getting ready it’s charged. It really doesn’t take too long to charge. I like to track my sleep (I use a separate app) so I opt to wear when sleeping. Once in a blue moon I don’t have much charge by end of day so I’ll just pop it on mt charger for a bit.
  2. I too was disappointed in the offerings. I wonder if they will add more or if what they have on the site is it? Where do you see the port times? I usually look on my phone at the website and I don’t see that. I like the May 2024 route but I don’t think that one is in the cards for us.
  3. I wonder if this is it for Royal for 2025 or if they will release a couple more sailings? The ports I was hoping to do aren’t on the cruises listed. There is one in May 24 I like but I’m not sure if it’s in the cards for us. This is a new interest of mine, so I’ve been doing a little looking. I’m realizing based on upcoming laws that we may need to do this sooner than later. Norway just looks magical and I’d really like to visit. I know other lines cruise there as well, but I think Royal is best fit for our family given we have a 10 year old son.
  4. How exciting! I’m glad you were able to book a dream cruise. Norway has recently hit my bucket list as well. It just looks beautiful. Congratulations!
  5. I was wondering about that option as well. We have only cruised once since they started that bidding option so I wasn’t sure how it worked exactly. More to research I guess! I personally think I’d be ok w a Boardwalk Balcony on a short cruise but I admit that we love an ocean view. Just not looking to spend a ton on a short cruise right now
  6. I’ll have to look at the dates and also what Mariner has to offer. We are traveling with a 10 year old. I haven’t been on Mariner since 2006 😳 We have done Oasis and Allure and love those ships.
  7. Thanks for the reply. This one looks like it’s not an ocean view guarantee. I’m going to have to talk to my husband. We love Oasis class. Cruised last year in December and oh my the weather was amazing (we typically cruise Sept/ Oct and it’s SO hot). I also expect the week after Thanksgiving the Christmas decorations would be up which I love as well. Guess I need to just start checking periodically and seeing if we can find a good last minute deal. We prefer Port Canaveral as it’s just an hour drive from home.
  8. I found a good deal on Allure for a balcony guarantee room. With those I can be assigned any balcony right- meaning possibly Central Park or Boardwalk right? Any experience in booking guarantee on Oasis class? We love an ocean view but I think I could deal with a different type given it’s just four nights. We so badly want to cruise but I’m having a hard time swallowing these crazy high prices. We do live in Orlando and homeschool so have a little flexibility as far as not needing airfare and such. This particular cruise is the week after Thanksgiving.

    Baha Mar

    We did end up booking through Royal. A bus ride was provided there and back. We met in the theatre at the designated time. It was a little slow going but it’s been awhile since I did a ship excursion so maybe that’s the norm. Looking at my pictures we got to the resort about 10:45/ 10:50am. I think we had to be back to the bus at like 3:45 or 4pm. The grounds of Baha Mar are absolutely beautiful. The landscaping is amazing. We loved the lazy river. Good slides as well. We did walk over to the beach but it was a bit rocky. The water in the pools was chilly!! It felt ok once you got in but wow was it cold at first. There are lockers you can rent for your personal belongings. Towels can rented. We just brought pool towels from the ship. The water park wasn’t crowded at all which was very nice. There were only two ships in port that day. Lunch was included. We got the crispy chicken sandwich and fries and my son had chicken strips and fries. Not a ton of options but there were a few. A soda was also included with lunch. The food was fresh and pretty good. All in all it was a nice day and I’m glad we went. The bus ride was nice bc you got to see a bit of the island. All of the staff we encountered were extremely friendly and helpful.
  10. My husband struggles a bit with sea sickness when on cruises. He typically takes Dramamine or Bonnie but ugh it makes him so drowsy. I ordered him non drowsy Dramamine which is just ginger. Has anyone tried this and had luck?
  11. We booked an excursion for Nassau during the Black Friday sale. For various reasons we have considered canceling it. I see I can do so now via the app. If we wait and decide onboard will I be allowed to cancel without penalty? And if so, how far in advance do I need to cancel. We board on Thursday and Nassau is Friday.
  12. We are having the same issue here as well. Set to sail on Thursday and Sunday my husband developed a cold. No fever, just nasal congestion and a slight cough (he without fail gets a cough with every cold he gets) Son and myself are both fine. We have so eagerly waiting this cruise as we haven’t been since 2018. Ugh 😞
  13. Just went to book an excursion for our upcoming trip. Price said $118.99 for adults and $51.99 for children (30% off)- added to cart and now its only 25% off. I don't understand this at all?? I will still probably book, but am very frustrated with this. I looked on the app and website and now both show the higher price.

    Baha Mar

    We are traveling on Royal Caribbean in December 2022. I see that the cruise line offers a day pass to Baha Mar. Curious on reviews of this excursion. Do they provide bus transportation to the resort or is the cost just the day pass? This is for myself, my husband and our 9 year old son. A friend of mine suggested the dolphin experience at Blue Lagoon but I don't see this as an excursion listed for our trip 😕 I know my son will want to explore a bit so just looking for something fun for us to do in Nassau. Thanks!
  15. Thank you! I called early this morning and the fantastic rep helped me complete the booking and get my FCC applied as deposit. We are all set for December on Independence
