Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Can you share the URL for Park N Go?
  2. This information is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
  3. Has anyone taken the $2 public bus from Progreso to Merida? And can they provide any information, i.e. where the bus stop is, frequency, reliability, etc.? Thanks!
  4. Points awarded are based on the original Blue Chip Club (BCC) offer category. If you received a BCC offer for a complimentary inside cabin and later upgraded via move-up, paid or even no-cost upgrades (i.e. a veranda was the same price as an inside), you would receive points based on the original offer for an inside cabin. With that said, there are rare operational exceptions.
  5. If you're not a Zenith with Retreat Lounge access, I would go with a standard midship IV, i.e. cabins 8255, 8259, 8250, 8254. They're close to the central midship elevators, have beds near the bath and are located in an area of the ship where you have almost non-obstructed views to the water when looking down from your open window. Concierge isn't worth the upcharge, imo. Aqua class might be worth the upcharge if you're after better quality sit-down meals and daily spa access. If Aqua, consider midship cabins 9239, 9243, 9236 or 9240.
  6. Everyone's risk tolerance is different. I recently self-debarked at Port Everglades and made a 8:15 am FLL-TPA flight. (Debarked @ 7:10. Taxi @ 7:20. Airport @ 7:35. Gate @ 8:00). Would I do it again? Yes but would probably need for the flight to leave at 9:00 am or later. (EDITED to add: I booked the 8:15 am flight because it was only $25 USD one way at the time of booking.) Plan B was to rent a $100 USD one way auto and drive home (3.5 hours).
  7. I think you are referring to the merger of Celebrity's Blue Chip and Royal Caribbean's Club Royale casino programs. And not their loyalty programs.
  8. Apex and Ascent both have a live craps table. Both ships also have live Texas Hold 'em tables. A table usually starts/opens up at around 9:00-9:30 most evenings. I believe a minimum of 5 players are needed for a game to start. $5/$7 blinds. ~10% rake. There are also live Texas Hold 'em tournaments in the afternoon on sea days. Tournament Buy-in I believe is $60 USD. There is also an Ultimate Texas Hold 'em table on both ships. Minimums will be either $10 or $15 USD. ($5 minimum on the older ships). A second table will open up when there is demand.

  10. You'll want to book a suite in Retreat if you're looking for a similar MSC Yacht Club experience.
  11. Within reason, do what makes you happy! There was a cruiser on a recent Transatlantic who brought his full sized easel. He painted from various locations on the ship with palette in hand. 🧑‍🎨
  12. Thanks for posting this interesting article. I've often wondered what X/RCL's future plans would be for the Ports of Tampa, Baltimore and others worldwide that can only accommodate smaller vessels.
  13. Metallic Party is only on Ascent (for now).
  14. One can get 4% back today using Rakuten. FYI.
