Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. We like to play blackjack, maybe a few slots when we cruise. We may go most nights, but not all. Is there an advantage to signing up for the Blue Chip Club?
  2. Does Celebrity do the "stuff as much as you can into a bag" option? Or is it always per piece?
  3. The download says October 1998. Are these old menus?
  4. I know irons are prohibited. I did not see steamers are the prohibited items list Does anyone know?
  5. Everyone knows I'm not talking about ship tour, right? We are not taking a ship tour. I'm not sure a non-ship tour will wait. Most will not. But I think some of you have answered this: Priority disembark is only for ship tours if there is a tender. Otherwise we can just walk right off while the rest of the ship tour people are still sitting in the theatre waiting to be assigned to a group. If that is the case we only have to worry about the ship being late.
  6. We have booked through the ship once or twice. We know the drill. That's not my question. Just to be clear: Have NOT booked a ship excursion. We are interested in an excursion offered by a ground operator. We are in port at 8, not tendered. The ground operator is right there but tour leaves at 9. They claim they will be there to pick us up at 8:45 and get us to the tour at 9. I'm not so sure. Sounds like they're cutting it a bit close......And obviously if we have to wait for all those who have booked through the ship, it will not work.
  7. I was told that those who have booked their excursions thru the ship get priority to disembark at port. All other passengers must wait before they can disembark. Is this true? I’ve never noticed that to be the case, but I’d like to make sure. Can anyone tell me if this is indeed X policy?
  8. We aren't big gamblers but enjoy blackjack playing every night either before and/or after dinner. Recently on a HAL cruise a lady we often met at the table told us that she deposited a certain amount of money (maybe $1500?) in a casino account before the cruise. So when she went to play they drew from that account. In return, HAL gave her a comped drinks package. Ever hear of such a thing with Celebrity?
  9. In NYC recently we were delighted to find we could use our iPhones to tap and enter the subway. Can you do this in Singapore? We understand it is easy to get around using mass transit there. Or I have heard mention of some card that be used interchangeably for MRT, LRT and buses. But tapping our phones would be the easiest.
  10. I will be on the Solstice. Did you get color as well?
  11. each cruise is almost two weeks with a week in UK before, then 5 days in Singapore, so yeah, will be looking pretty sad.
  12. Doing a BTB in Jan (Millenium/Soltice)so I'm definitely going to need a cut and color. This sort of terrifies me a little. If you have used this service - what did you think?
  13. Oh, ok! We did this before but it was only $20 or $25. It was ok. ( wouldn’t do it again at current price - true about entry level wines) I thought this was something different bc it was more expensive. I was also looking for a wine package that included bottles of wine. Is this not offered?
  14. I was just curios bc we sailed with HAL, had upgraded, and still had to sign for every drink. I’m thinking this time we will just stick with the classic. My husband drinks beer and Capt Morgan, both in the classic. I drink wine and not seeing anything in the classic I would drink but I think in the long run the few dollars here and there for the upgrade will not amount to the $50 per day the upgrade would be. I also understand that wine by the bottle is discounted 15%. We may be more likely to do that if we haven’t already sprung for the upgraded package.
