Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I got a Move Over offer for a UK cruise and I live in Canada. I took it! Went to the UK and had a land trip. Next year, same itinerary cruise was free, OBC credit was the price of the first cruise and we were upgraded from a balcony to a mini suite. The left over OBC was sent to me in about four weeks after we got home. Best deal EVER! If you can, take it. You won't be sorry. Before COVID I was offered a move down offer. Give up my balcony and take an inside cabin and get a full refund. Took that too. I sail on Princess a lot.
  2. We did the British Isles cruise and it was one of the best cruises and I've done more than 50. If you book it, go in August and attend the Edinburgh Tattoo out of Glasgow. It is spectacular!
  3. Air Canada flies direct from Miami to Vancouver three times a week. I just took the flight and it was excellent.
  4. We've been told a few times the MDR is not open on embarkation day. However, we visit all the dining rooms and one has always been open. On Grand Class ships they make it Botticelli as it's harder for people to find! Love the MDR embarkation lunches!
  5. I was on the Crown late September and we were in L304. We obviously had a brand new mattress and it was wonderful. Hopefully they are all being replaced. Botticelli restaurant was open on embarkation day for lunch. Joy in the reception area was wonderful. Such a lovely personality. The ship is in good shape and the crew and entertainment were outstanding!
  6. I was on the Crown Princess in Alaska where they say the signal is poor. It was 3 Mbps all the time. I was able to download, upload and watch You Tube. Someone I know saw a movie on Netflix. Works for me and I'm happy it's improved!
  7. Canada Place can berth three large ships. We are on this cruise and it was a very smooth quick embarkation. We arrived at 10:45 and were on by 11:30. We had to drop our luggage off at the north end of Canada Place, went upstairs stood in line for 5 minutes to get our medallions, down to security where there was no line up. US customs had the kiosks, no line at all and we walked on the ship.
  8. I just got back from Celebrity Eclipse. The Classic Beverage Package is pretty limited. I suggest you check the list and perhaps upgrade. Basic internet is basically useless. If you want to post a picture or anything else, upgrade to Premium. The speed was 3.5 at the highest. I thought satellite would be faster, but it did work.
  9. I board the Queen Elizabeth on Monday. Does anyone know if they have Starlink? If so, how is the speed?
  10. You tap any credit card at the gate. It will charge your credit card and that's all you need to do. Don't worry about buying anything, tap works just fine. You are correct, tap in, tap out, https://buzzer.translink.ca/2018/04/5-things-you-need-to-know-about-tap-to-pay-launching-on-may-22/
  11. The Vancouver News states an agreement has been reached and the union will NOT affect cruises in Vancouver, Victoria and Prince Rupert. https://globalnews.ca/news/9805769/bc-port-strike-cruise/
  12. We are boarding soon in Vancouver. Our boarding time is 14:15. Do they let you on earlier? We usually arrive before lunch.
  13. I loved the chocolate one. The red one is too sweet and red dye??? Bring back the original!
  14. I've received my full refund! Thank you AQ Voyages for helping me get this resolved.
