Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Yes, checking with Medtronic (DH's ICD maker) confirmed that as long as it was at least 6 inches away from the ICD, no problem. The included lanyard was plenty long to do that. I would suggest anyone with concerns to check with their device manufacturer or their cardiologist.
  2. Based on our experience recently at Port Everglades, while people were divided into two lines outside the terminal according to whether we had our medallion or not, once we got up to the doors, everyone funneled into the same line to wind around until we got to Security. It really didn't matter which door you went in. After Security, the Blue Lane people had to check in and get their medallions, while the Green Lane went right to the waiting area.
  3. @blue_water, a small bus, which I assume was the ship excusion, did show up an hour or so after we got there. They didn't stay very long. As I said, we were the only ship (as first time to Tortola I don't know if that's typical) so it didn't impact us much. Here's a few photos. No clue why the last one is upside down! That's the shack we rented lounger from, free wi-fi was included, too.
  4. We brought sheet detergent and dryer sheets as I need unscented. As others said, you get tokens, $3 each, charged to your onboard account. One token per load.
  5. We had intended to go to Brewer's Bay during our first stop in Tortola, however, the taxi driver said that the water was pretty rough there that day and recommended Long Bay Beach, on the eastern end of the island near the airport. Whether this was true or not (about Brewer's Bay) we were very happy with Long Bay and would go back there, it's a beautiful beach! As ours was the only ship in port, it wasn't crowded. There were several bars/food shacks in a row, renting loungers and umbrellas. We were told there were rocks along the one end of the bay but people said the snorkeling wasn't very good that day, not many fish seen. It was nice to just float around in the water, though. Just wanted to add it as another option for someone wanting a beach day.
  6. We were just on Enchanted and still had to use the tokens in the laundry room ($3 per washer/dryer).
  7. Tried searching but not too successful. How is snorkeling at Emerald/Lindbergh? We want to try a beach closer to port. Thanks!
  8. Oh, storms had gone through a couple days before and washed up seaweed, which is very unusual there.
  9. We were at Secret Harbour week before last, it's still as nice as we remembered. Try to get there as early as possible to get chairs and umbrella - $30 for 2 chairs, 1 brella. You can also just rent loungers if you want to be under the one tree area. Snorkeling is best to the left side and out a little ways - dead coral ☹️ but saw fish. Sunser Grille is still good, lunch for two around $45, I think. Staff in the lobby will call a taxi for you when you'r ready to go back.
  10. We did a Cruisetour in 2018, with Coral as the ship - loved it! We went from late May to early June, so there still was snow in the higher elevations. We joked about going from spring to winter and back to spring again as we travelled between lodges on the land portion. You can also get a clear view of Glacier Bay, etc., from the Promenade Deck.
  11. We have always picked up a carton or two of seltzer in FLL and taped a luggage tag to them, delivered to our room with no problem. I"m hoping the Boost that my husband will bring along (due to some swallowing issues, he supplements with it) will not be confiscated due to being in plastic bottles.
  12. If the stateroom you want is available for both legs, you can book it as a back-to-back (BTB) and have it for both.
  13. You can't still download the old app?
  14. I have both the old and new app installed - I used the old app to do Check-in and was able to exit the payment page without putting in the Shoreside cc info, and the app now shows my "boarding pass" (still Blue lane because picking up medallions at port). The new app says I have to "complete" the Check-in (6 of 7 completed) but my husband is "good to go." We'll see what happens when we get to the port next week.
  15. I am still able to access our upcoming cruise with the old app.
