Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. And I’m glad you pointed out they are/use a consolidator. Many have no clue about the pros and cons about consolidators. Cheers
  2. Wa..wa..Waite a minute…WHAT😯?? Lobster Benedict🫨😲 I never heard of this before but just the name alone sounds soooooo good. I got to try this next month (just what I need, a new food addiction 🤣) Cheers
  3. Looking at the Lavazza site, the machine in above pics looks like this model and it would be a specific size capsule that would only fit this espresso machine (not k-cup or Nespresso size):
  4. We have had a similar experience sailing multiple times in every line you listed (except Disney). I could mention both pros and cons for every cruise but, pros have always outweighed the cons on every line. Our experience on Oceania, ships Riviera and Insignia, were really outstanding in many ways. There are (or were) truly port intensive itineraries and that was the number one reason we sailed with them (especially Insignia which is R class that visited ports around the Med a larger ship could never go). But, we all have different taste and budgets for cruising the way we want. Unfortunately for us, Oceanic has really increased their prices but I guess as long as they can fill their ships then they are priced correctly (just not for us anymore ☹️). Cheers
  5. lol, yes I will be the first one that owns up to that🤣
  6. Thank you, she is back to normal now but boy, it was a long 6 months to get that gal out of pain 🙂 We are hoping to get back on the horse and take a cruise in a couple months (sadly not down under though). Cheers
  7. Just to share an experience almost exactly a year ago.. 3 days before we were to fly to Australia for our cruise in a Vista suite, my wife hurt her back and was literally crippled and in so much pain. A day later (2 days before the cruise) I had to cancel our cruise. I guarantee you, someone who made a bid on a suite was very happy to win the bid and get upgraded probably at embarkation. So, you never really know when or why a cabin opens up on a sold out cruise. Cheers
  8. I suggest you read this thread and other threads posted in it:
  9. As all the others, I empathize with what a horrible experience you had. There have been many posts since Covid about similar experiences, that Princess (as well of other cruise lines) want to get you off the ship ASAP because their liability (and morality) is over at point. Personally, what I have taken away of these horror stories is my wife and I are completely responsible for ourselves once we walk (or rolled) off the ship. That means if my wife gets really sick similar to you, I am going to everything I can do myself (without asking others) and book someone to pick us up immediately, regardless the cost or what was planned under normal conditions (I’m not telling OP waiting for their shuttle for 3 hours was wrong, Im saying what I personally will do). And once we get picked up we are immediately going to a hospital for further care or a hotel room to rest and get better) Again, for me I will never-ever think about how much money we can loose, My only priority is get to a safe location stat and know we can deal with out of pocket cost and insurance at a later time. Cheers
  10. 🤣 I don’t even know what you wrote but thanks for the laugh😊 Cheers
  11. I’m with all of you that say SF is cool, misty, and cloudy most all of the summer. Only a freak day would you ever hit 90+. Now, inland is a different story😊
  12. This by far is the most logical and believable explanation on this thread so far. Those of you that demand full explanation and transparency from Princess is simply not going to get it no matter what threats you state. I wish we would get the truth but, we should be aware of all the lies and deception we hear every day which has taken over the business strategy for the 21st century (very sad in my heart but see it every day). PS: Lying by omission is still a lie! Cheers
  13. Isn’t that the truth 😊
