Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I am thinking they will pull out of HMC for this new island and either abandon it or sell it to another line?
  2. So I’ll end this story with the last messed up thing. We were on the second floor mid ship. Last morning we go to leave our cabin at about 7:44 am to go get breakfast before debark and the hallway is filled with a line of people the length of the ship with all their luggage looking to get off at the second floor gangway! I had to fight our way out of there and was told someone gained because it was so hot and long of a wait! Craziest thing I ever saw. So to recap: 1-first night stayed in NYC due to weather. No casino or stores. 2- instead of changing ports where the seas were not so rough plowed through to get to half moon cat only to be told seas were too rough to tender ( hello.. I could have told them that) 3- two back to back blackouts where people got stuck in elevators 4- coming into NYC at one am instead of the morning due to weather so casino, stores, and drink programs ended early. so I get that you cannot control the weather but I feel in this case they should have re-routed out of the horrific storm instead of going right through it. Just my opinion based on over 40 cruises where I have been re-routed more then once and just rolled with it. glad it’s over. Venezia chock full of other issues ( like lines an hour long for guys, pizza, and deli) all the time. I would think if they kept a portion of the buffet open another hour past all aboard it could have definitely eased congestion and wait times. And forget about getting a drink in the casino.. even when empty service was scant to non-existent.
  3. Aren’t they opening celebration island instead of building up half moon cay?
  4. So the fun continues. Captain came over loudspeaker to say that due to the storm, the port authorities are closing the Hudson River channel from midnight to six pm tomorrow. So they are going at full speed and planning on docking at NYC at one am and debark should be as scheduled. However they are closing the casino and shutting down the cheers/bubbles program at about 11:30 pm to comply with the laws. So two of eight nights spent at NYC port. What a crazy trip!
  5. Yes we stayed overnight at the port in NYC due to weather. It was pretty eerie as they pulled the gangway so you could not get off and the terminal was deserted but all lit up. People were disappointed in missing HMC but it is what it is. I heard they were developing a whole new island though?
  6. So…. they still served dinner. We had anchored at half moon cay this morning but at about 8:30 am the captain came over the loudspeaker and said it was too dangerous to tender to the beach and we were just going to head home and that they will add activities to keep us busy. Many people are very sick but that’s the chance you take when you sail in the winter. The waves are really big and the boat is rocking side to side. The blackout was scary because I think people got stuck in the elevators. Will let you guys know happens
  7. Suprised no one has mentioned it yet. we have some awful seas tonight. Left Nassau at 3:30pm. About seven pm all of a sudden all the lights go out. Captain comes on loudspeaker and says don’t take the elevators. Lights come back on a little bit later only to go out again. Finally came on for good about 7:45 or so. Supposedly still going to our last port of HMC , but I don’t see how the tenders will be able to operate if the weather continues. From not being able to leave NYC until six am the day after embark to tonight’s blast jour it has been an interesting trip!

  9. Going on Venezia December 10th eight day sailing. Does anyone know if the new MDR menu will be in effect?
  10. @happycruiser220 are you in our Facebook group?
  11. Got a text from an “upgrade specialist” to call them. Called and left a message. Someone called me back an hour later with the offer. Ocean view 1st floor to Terrazza balcony on 7 for $700 for two people. Jumped on it
  12. Just got an incredible upgrade from an ocean view to Terrezza balcony on the Venezia. Room is 7503. Can anyone share pics/info about this room? Thank you!
