Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Endeavor has had to cancel 4 stops there this week and the on the last one they did a zodiac tour and not a landing due to thr Avian flu. A passenger said they didn't go on the zodiac tour as they warned they would see dead birds and seals. Pic from FBook.
  2. They have to report it to the appropriate authorities depending on relevant jurisdictions. Hacking or not they have an obligation to protect personal info and report a breach IMHO.
  3. I was booked on Regent for their 'Canadian Dollar at par' promotion. My US friends also booked the cruise at a 25% reduction in $USD under a promo for Americans. So, it did seem to me to be a bit of an enticement to book without any substantive savings between Canadian and American passengers.
  4. That is reassuring to read that the staff is returning. On my first Crystal cruise, I thoughr this is a special place since so many of the frontline guest facing crew had been with Crystal for many years.
  5. Does anyone know what is included with the booking fare? Maybe I missed it on the site: all dining/reservations required, excusions, drinks etc;. I didn't see it. BTW, what is the role of a 'junior butler'? I really enjoyed the old Crystal, but not sure of the overall product offering. The onboard staff were what I enjoyed and hope they can bring back the vibe and congeniality.
  6. At the very least you will get what category was booked. Good luck for more!
  7. The TA found the same pricing as you indicated, and placed a booking for me.
  8. Thanks for highlighting this. I booked on the Spirit today because of this!
  9. 90 min in Seattle is doable imho. Good luck.
  10. Yes. Not sure if the hull cleaning passed for the more 'environmentally sensitive' areas so those destinations won't see a visit. See: https://maritime-executive.com/article/fourth-cruise-hit-with-biofouling-as-new-zealand-and-industry-meet Hope the rest of the cruise is uneventful and everyone enjoys it.
  11. https://www.foxnews.com/world/third-australian-cruise-weeks-turns-nightmare-after-fungus-outbreak-prevents-entry-new-zealand Article says that the ship was instructed to undertake biocleaning prior to coming to NZ.l in December. (see last two paragraphs).
  12. You wanted them to change rules because of being a past customer? It reads like i made a mistake but there shouldn't be any comsequences. The policy is in place for not an arbitrary reason - its a requirement for countries visited that is standard and could potentially open up the cruiseline to issues with ports visited. Sorry, but thinking that there should be an exception for you and your past sailing history is a bit rich imho. Anyways, hope this works out for you
  13. But they are coming back from a 'cold start.' Perhaps the crew will not have its 'rhythm' and I assume that the cabins will need to be prepared close to sailing, engineering systems used to load along with f&b provisioning. Will be interesting. I have been on a number of cruises after a dry dock and my experience is that its not smooth sailing the first few days. Hoping for the best for the PAX!
