Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. "Preferred" is subjective, I think. I've been on the R class ships before, and I really like the small ship atmosphere.
  2. I think it's near where you were but on the other side.
  3. Thanks for that. I wondered about the gangways. We booked very late, and about all that was left were ocean views on deck 4. We decided to take the chance.
  4. This is the sort of thing that gets filmed on Carnival ships and posted on YouTube. Nice to see O is "equal opportunity." πŸ™‚ (Disclaimer: I have been on Carnival ships where this never happened.) I like the staff-served buffet. They do that on HAL. I don't know exactly how effective it is at controlling disease, but I like the idea that no one is manhandling my food before I get to it.
  5. Did you experience any noise issues from the reception area?
  6. Very nice. Beats an app, in my book.
  7. The best snapper I ever had was in PV. Seafood in Mexico is always delicious.
  8. If the music is performed in a lounge-like theater, socializing would be rude. If the performers are there for "background," then that's a different story. Problem sometimes is that one person might view classical music in general as "background" sound where another views it as a musical performance in its own right. (I'm pretty much in the latter camp.)
  9. Of course, Spanish food and Mexican food are different. My daughter spent a semester studying in Spain and came back a bit of an "expert" on the differences. She's a good cook and learned many Spanish recipes, but she was limited in the authentic ingredients she could get here. I wonder if a traditionally Spanish restaurant would fly on O.
  10. Related note: are there likely to be new excursions added before or after sailing? Likewise, cancellations?
  11. This noise thing seems to be restricted to the Vista, right?
  12. Authentic birria is available all over Southern California (even from fast food drive-thrus.) A local family I know will serve it for celebrations. This family has been local since before California became a state in 1849, so I take the food as the real thing. My favorite taco story is the place in Paris advertising "tacos" which were folded pita bread. I don't object if a cruise ship opens a Mexican restaurant, but I don't have to eat there.
  13. I guess humor is not a feature on this board. Oh well.
  14. It hasn't happened yet. πŸ™‚ It's a rule of thumb--the farther away from the county of origin, the less delicious the food. I guess one learns to put up with the less delicious if that's all that is available. Of course, with the globalization happening in the world, more and more people are leaving their native countries and some of those open restaurants in far flung places (like Vegas?πŸ™‚)
  15. I have had some very good tacos in Sacramento.
