Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Thanks for the review! We're trying to convince some cruise-averse friends to join us vets on the harmony this spring. So far, no such luck. 🤷‍♀️ Curious, where did you eat for embarkation lunch? We're looking for a less crowded option.
  2. Hi there! We were on the same itinerary as you - July 31st out of Galveston. I'm sorry you were disappointed in your cruise! 😞 To offer a different perspective, we LOVED our cruise! No, we didn't stay up late and do any bars, casinos or the late night comedy show, so it sounds like we did different parts of the ship. But, we LOVED the sports square (we have young children), the pools, the CD was AWESOME, the Atrium events with the CD, the MDR (we loved almost everything we ordered) and thought the shows and comedy we did see were just average. We loved Alchemy, the Ocean Plaza bands, the Lanai seating with hot tubs, the Pub and the coffee shop. We also agree that the staff wasn't very friendly as compared to past ships. We had a different server each night due to My Time Dining, but service seemed more prompt than our last summer Carnival cruise. Our cabin steward was very friendly and attentive. Lines were LONG - it was a full capacity ship. But there was always room at the shows and we never waited long for any MDR meal (breakfast or dinner). I think most people were at the buffet, which does serve some of the MDR dinner food. Pizza was open starting at 9am (and of course we were up then :)) I saw on the schedule the late night buffet was happening, but we were of course asleep by then. 🙂 I bought the CHEERS package. I think I about broke even with alcoholic drinks, but ordered many non-alcoholic drinks as well. It allowed me to try lots of different things and not drink what I didn't like. Some members of our party did notice aging on the ship, but that didn't affect our enjoyment. Excursions - in Cozumel we did the Zipline, snorkel and beach excursion through Carnival to Island Beach Club. We loved it (mostly) and would recommend that beach club again!! Other family members did the Secret River cenote swim excursion and LOVED it. They had older kiddos than ours. Again, I'm sorry you were disappointed in your cruise but I hope the additional review added on here helps others reading to know you can be on the same ship and have 2 very different experiences and desire very different things. Happy cruising!
  3. We also LOVED the hot tubs on deck 5 (on the Dream, but they are sister ships and it appears this part is the same). We'd pick the side that was in the shade and some would be in the hot tubs, the others would be lounging in deck chairs. We usually did this 4-6pm, after sunny pool time but before dinner cleanup. Or for some, after cleanup but the shade meant they didn't get sweaty again.
  4. We were on the Dream last summer for an 8 day cruise. The lines for the washer/dryers were constant. My sister finally offered to do all our laundry when she (naturally) got up at 4am. I would suggest choosing non-peak times, or maybe even doing 1 load early, then one load late during a longer cruise. Or just pack more. 🙂 Or hand wash a few items in your sink when you can commit a day or two to them drying in your cabin.
  5. I have an apostrophe in my name but there is often a discrepancy between no apostrophe, a space, or even a dash. My SS card shows the apostrophe, but my license and Passport shows none. I've never had an issue anywhere when they don't match. You should be good to go!
  6. Saint Greg has a 5 day posted from mid March. Also a 4 day. https://www.saintgregtravel.com/carnival-breeze-march-13-2023/
  7. @MeganGC1983 Wondering if the Dream had the 6pm camp ocean mealtime service offered prior to 7pm Camp Ocean start? Also, do you happen to know the policy for leaving a child in camp ocean while you're in port? We have family that will stay on ship for an emergency, but not sure if that's required or not. Do the camp ocean phones they provide (for 3 yo kiddo) work in port? If it matters, we are taking a Carnival excursion.
  8. I'm looking through recent fun times for our ship/sailing and see nothing about camp ocean advertised. I plan to register kids when we check-in 2 weeks prior, but how do we get information once we're on ship?
  9. How do you know what is the drink of the day? Is it listed in fun times or just advertised at the bar? Thanks!
  10. By chance did you ever see oysters at the lido? Or any other seafood?
  11. Was this menu for a specific event, or the pool area while in Port?
  12. Working now! Must have been the logged in thing. Thanks!
  13. Anybody else having trouble with the attachments? They say unavailable. I was able to see the first few when they were posted last week, but now those are now unavailable. Just me? Any other way you can upload them?
