Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I (platinum) sailed out of Galveston just recently Feb 27. There were priority security and check-in lines. Once checked in we were directed to the priority waiting area (BTW no drinks or snacks). Within that waiting area we were segregated according to VIFP status/FTTF, then released to board accordingly.
  2. Yep, I used to pack sandals in case I ever got busted for my flipflops, but I never have been.
  3. Glad to see some clarity on this question. From last week's Breeze 5-day. A screenshot from the Hub app. I know this contradicts the website, but the website info is often outdated.
  4. My son got a phone upsell offer to move from interior lido to balcony lido for $160 total, two pax, Breeze 5-day. The price is good but we passed on it. This is a father-son Cheers cruise, and even the best balcony rooms don't come with a bar and bartender lol.
  5. And there is "Pasta Bella" for lunch, deck 11 aft overlooking the lido buffet.
  6. Yes, last October I had to request it, then they poured one glass each and the bottle disappeared never to be seen again.
  7. It is not listed as a platinum/diamond benefit, which of course is a source for confusion. FTTF lists early luggage drop off benefit, and states that this also applies to platinum/diamond, but wouldn't it be nice if we didn't need to play interwebs detective. Like maybe just print instructions for us on our boarding pass.
  8. Maybe load the $25 on the quarter-pushing machine and walk away with your hundred quarters?
  9. Sorry, meant to reply earlier: Island Time latest live feed, at 30:04. These folks are generally positive and upbeat, the comment about the bar wait just caught my attention.
  10. Thanks for the feedback, folks. Sounds like the reported 30 minute waits were isolated to that cruise and/or maybe bad luck or timing.
  11. A yootoober I follow sailed Breeze over the Thanksgiving holiday. He had Cheers. He said there was a 30 minute wait at all the bars. I am wondering: As more and more pax have Cheers, doesn't that give Carnival incentive to keep the bar service slow? They already have my $ so the fewer drinks served the better?
  12. Fried oysters were on the Spirit buffet one night, May 2022. They were very good which is why I remember them.
  13. Yes, the shrimp creole on a Dream cruise in July was great! Had a bowl and a half. Lately I have just picked a couple or three items at a time to sort of graze on, then go back later for favorites. In other words, I do not try to do create a full meal with one trip through the buffet. We sometimes pick up cold cuts, cheese cubes, fruit, cookies, milk and cereal to stash in the room fridge for convenient late-night snacking. Then I carry the dishes back with me to Lido next morning on my coffee run. I scrounged a plate, steak knife and an orange from the buffet, a collins glass from an unattended bar, ice from our room, and built a passable cocktail (Kitty Highball) with my carry-on wine and ginger ale. So it seems that I am treating the buffet as my personal kitchen LOL.
  14. Thank you very much for taking the time to put all this together. The Funtimes PDFs are especially appreciated!
