Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. thanks, have tried. I click on Manage My Booking and get an error message and to try again. Tried a different browser too and same results. Not sure why it is so challenging to find out the perks that I have. Thanks for helping!
  2. Hello Trying to see list of add ons using the app. Keep getting an error message and to try again. Cruise is 168 days out. Can't find how to see add ons on booking. TIA
  3. @tammyjw305 Your blog was really good. Nice photos too. Thanks for sharing.
  4. Hello! Have booked a VV cruise and would like to submit a request for match. I have platinum status on NCL. I did read you upload an image to prove status. Is it just enough to submit a screen shot of my name and status or should I screen shot the list of all cruises taken with NCL? TIA
  5. @YVRteacher I follow a FB page about Iceland. People have reported (and photographed, at 2am) the Northern Lights! Maybe you will be able to see them if conditions are right.
  6. "They even cut the crusts off!" Now that is service! You would think someone on the Star could figure out a simple grilled cheese. You photos are stunning! Thank you for taking the time to share them.
  7. I would sail the Star again if it had a desirable itinerary. Just because one person is not having the best experience with vegetarian food options on the ship, it would not stop me from booking. If you read her review, she wants custom meals and the Star is not able to fulfill all of her requests to her satisfaction. The MDR menus are fleetwide and have plenty of options for vegetarians. I would love to sail the Panama Canal!
  8. I cruised on the Star (Iceland/Greenland) July of this year. There were some minor food/service issues but I didn't really let it bother me. The itinerary was too good to pass up and other cruises that sail in that part of the world can be very pricey! There is always at least 2 vegetarian options in the MDRs every day, both lunch and dinner. I primarily eat vegetarian and could always find something that I enjoyed. Also ate at La Cucina, Le Bistro and Teppanyaki, all had good options for me. The salad bar in the Garden Cafe was good and had lots of variety. The veg Indian dishes at the cafe were also good. The Indian food on the Epic was not very good at all! (April 2023) I think if you want vegetarian meals that are not on the menus it would be challenge.
  9. From the Bermuda website "Effective November 14, 2022, Covid-19 testing and travel authorisation forms are not required to enter Bermuda. All air arrival visitors will need to fill out the arrival card. Cruise visitors are not required to complete any entry form. " arriving by air, yes cruise passengers no
  10. @YVRteacher have you considered getting the Thermal Spa pass for the 2nd part of your journey? My sister and I were on the Star early July of this year. We went everyday, not super fancy but we thought it was an excellent place to relax and stay warm.
  11. @Trixie21 My sister and I just sailed on the Star, 10 day Iceland/Greenland cruise, R/T from Reykjavik. (Djupivogur, Akureyri, Isafjordur, Nanoralik, Paamuit and Nuuk) Four of the six ports were tender ports. We were able to visit all ports except for Djupivogur because it was really really windy. Tendering would not have been safe. As mentioned in the post by @DMP609, Prima doesn't have tenders so that is why they are skipping Isafjordur until dock is completed. The Star is smaller and if it is chilly/windy, indoor spaces can be crowded. We had a balcony and bought the Thermal Spa pass so we always had some place warm to relax. Some very brave souls did use the hot tubs and the pool! We were able to find quiet places to read. We didn't see any shows but there was something new every night. It is a beautiful part of the world!
  12. According to Cruise Mapper (still waiting to hear from someone on board) NCL Star was anchored off Isafjordur today.
