Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Read reviews of both ships in Alaska. Do you have an itinerary you prefer? We had a similar choice for a Canada/NEcruise and booked HAL, but our relatives will only sail on Princess, and asked us to go with them. So.........
  2. We hope to try a Great Lakes cruise this year. Any shows, Music, etc. in the main theater?
  3. Thanks for posting. I'll give em a call around July 15, although our cruise is almost sold out.
  4. In 2022 we sailed on Regent and Celebrity. I'd give Regent a 10. Very good. Nothing that wasn't good. I'd give Celebrity a 3. Everything tasted the same. We've sailed mostly on Celebrity and HAL. I've always thought HAL was a little better. Hopefully it will be significantly betterthis time when we sail on Zuiderdam late August.
  5. We've been cruising since the early 90s. Things change! Won't please everyone. I listen to a classic rock radio station. 15 years ago it was primarily 60s, 70s and 80s music. Now it's 80s and 90s. Very little 70s and about 2-3% 60s.
  6. Sometimes travel doesn't goes as planned. If you can't handle things going astray don't travel. Not you personally. Just a good rule of thumb.
  7. How did you choose "oakridger"? I'm from OR, TN Sorry if I asked this in the past.
  8. We are trying to book a Volendam cruise to Canada/NE. Balconies and Suites are not available. We don't want an outside cabin with a window, but might book if there is a chance of an upgrade. Should we book the outside cabin, and get on a waiting list for a balony/ suite? Other suggestions?
  9. We are looking at that cruise after booking and canceleling a similar Regent cruise. After booking that cruise I went to the website to book shore excurions(free). They were about 90% sold out, and the remaining excursions were for things that required 2-3 hours of walking. Unable to do that, Since this is a Canada/NE cruise we can do ports on our own. This will be our 6th time. So now we are looking at Oceania.
  10. Seems they have found a way to cut cost.
  11. We will be sailing on Polaris in April to Canada and NE. We dock at NYC and expect to fly home from EWR at 12:30 p.m. if possible. I can't find an arrival time at NYC, but the other cruise lines we have sailed on want you off the ship fairly early, so is 12:30 safe?
  12. superior veranda suite LOL, I typically get up at daylight. But, DW does not, and I don't want to disturb her by making coffee.
  13. What is offered. i.e. Dark roast or double Americano? We sail in about two weeks from Quebec City.
  14. We've sailed on HAL about 12 times, but not since 2019. We are considering a 7 day Alaska cruise next year. Our friends that might travel with us have some questions which I can't answer mostly because I can't remember. So: What is the daily tip per person in a balcony cabin or suite? What is the average cost of beer, wine and alc packages? Does HAL typically stock a non alc beer, i.e. Heineken? What has improved significantly since 2020? What has deteriorated significantly?
