Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Plan to go to Krazy lobster during stop in Costa Maya. Is it difficult to get a massage if crowded? There will be 3 ships in port? What is the cost for the massages? Do they require a minimum to use their loungers? Want to make sure I bring enough money.
  2. Thought about putting in the fridge but won't be room if the mini bar is in it. Also, given sky is old, not hopeful it'll be cold like newer ships. Thanks anyway
  3. I was planning on asking for ice bucket but my understanding is the stewards service the cabins just in the morning. The ice will be melted throughout the day.
  4. I'll be going on sky for 1st time and have a few questions please. Is there a place to get water, coffee, ice etc. at night after the buffet closes? Also, small snack like fruit? From what I've read, the Local is open but it's a sit down bar. Looking for something quick that I can take back to my cabin. Assume the mdr is open for lunch on sea days. Does the lunch menu change or is it same all days? Thanks in advance!
  5. Thank you! Is the museum within walking distance to the cruise ship dock? I'll be on princess.
  6. This will be my 1st time in San Francisco & California. I'm trying to decide if I should do a boat tour especially to aee the Golden Gate bridge and/or Muir Woods. I'll be on princess & have 2 days in San Fran. Ideally would like to find an excursion that covers both. I only saw going to an island. Are the woods worth visiting? Concerned the weather may not be ideal for viewing. Would appreciate any input. Thank you.
  7. Are you booking under Bella? If so, that category is guarantee only cabins.
  8. Would nice to have more Caribbean options on the 7 day sailings. Before Ocean Cay opened I was on sailings that went to St Maarten, St Thomas & Antigua (Antigua and St Maarten weren't on the same cruise) along with the other ports. I have sailed longer sailings (10 & 11 nights) that included Aruba, Costa Rica, Columbia & Panama.
  9. I was at Taino Bay last week. The port area is beautiful. The local guides were very aggressive. My plan was to walk to the street with the umbrellas and maybe a couple other places. After nicely telling 3 of the guides no I finally was able to leave the port. I was stopped a couple of times while walking & once again declined. When I was maybe a street away from the umbrellas another guide approached me. He must've followed me. I told him no just like the others but this guide kept walking with me. I finally gave in and told myself my money could really benefit him. He walked with me to the umbrella street & another. He tried to convince me to take a taxi to the mountain and other places. I explained to him just like the others that I had been to Puerto Plata previously. I was with him less than an hour. I didn't bring much money with me so gave him $20 which he seemed happy with.
  10. Thanks for sharing your review. Know you mentioned taxis, did you notice any local vendors offering shore excursions?
  11. I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sailing solo next month and paid double. I got the least expensive cabin category. For what I'm paying, could have balcony if shared with someone else. This will be my 3rd time sailing solo with HAL. Paid double on all.
