Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Thank you - looks like the menu on this cruise may be a surprise!
  2. We are in a suite on a 16 night repositioning cruise in Dec 2023 aboard the Eclipse. I’d like to make some specialty restaurant reservations and wondered when or if the Luminae dinner menu will repeat itself? Thanks!
  3. We are on a 16 night Eclipse repositioning cruise in December 2023. Does anyone know if the Luminae menu repeats during a cruise of that length? We’d like to make some speciality restaurant reservations and if there is a repeat in the menu, that will help us make our decision on which nights to make those reservations. Thank you!
  4. We just booked a sky suite for this cruise and it is shaping up to be a fun cruise with many cruisecritic and sailing friends joining in. GenerationX, Charla, hope Jeremy and you join us!
  5. Are you familiar with Ecotours Vallarta and would you recommend them? They have availability for a whale watching tour on the day we are in port and the other 2 you recommended do not. Thanks!
  6. Thank you for your feedback. How were the temperatures in the dining areas and the theater?
  7. Thank you, @martincath. I have read other posts of yours and respect your knowledge in this area. @lovecruzin, I didn't think the 2nd ArriveCAN was for Victoria - I read it as needed to embark on the ship from a Canadian port. I still believe the instructions are contradictory about whether or not a 2nd ArriveCAN is needed in our situation. What's the harm in completing a 2nd one before boarding the ship just to make sure?
  8. Thank you both so much. I was just on the official Canadian gvt website, and it states the info below. Whew - this has been challenging to keep straight! Entering Canada by land or air before embarking on a cruise You must complete your ArriveCAN submission before entering Canada, no more than 72 hours of boarding your flight or before entering Canada by land. If you’re flying in to join a cruise immediately, enter the address of your terminal. If you’re not joining the cruise immediately, enter the address of your hotel. You must also submit a second ArriveCAN submission no more than 72 hours before boarding the cruise. This applies even if your second ArriveCAN submission is within 72 hours of the first submission. Upon your entry to Canada by air or at a land border crossing, the border services officer may notify you that you’ve been randomly selected for a mandatory arrival test. Mandatory random testing is part of the Government of Canada surveillance program to track the importation of COVID-19 virus into Canada, and identify new variants of concern.
  9. Could someone please confirm that my understanding of what needs to be done regarding testing and customs forms for our cruise is correct? I realize this has been discussed many times, but nevertheless, would appreciate confirmation that I got this! We depart Vancouver on 9/16 for an 8-night repositioning cruise to LA aboard the Celebrity Solstice, including a stop in Victoria on 9/17. We arrive in Vancouver via plane from the US on 9/14. We will complete ArriveCAN on 9/13, listing our Vancouver hotel as our destination address (I've downloaded the app and filled in everything I can so far.) We will do the OnPoint proctored Rapid Antigen Covid test on the morning of 9/14 before we fly out of LAX, and will use that for test result for boarding the ship in Vancouver on 9/16. We will complete a 2nd ArriveCAN on 9/15 listing the ship as our destination. And finally, on 9/16 we get to start our cruise! Does it sound like all of the bases are covered with this plan? Thanks so much for any feedback!

  11. Can someone please confirm: if I am leaving on a Friday cruise, and live in CA, I can complete the test on Tuesday after 9pm (my time) and it will be dated Wednesday, which gives me the 2-day required window before boarding the ship? Thank you.
  12. Enjoying your detailed review - thank you for taking the time to write it while on your cruise.
  13. Great - thanks! Just booked that aft corner Sky Suite!
  14. Thank you for the feedback. Do you recall if the bed can be separated in to 2 in the corner sky suite?
