Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Getting a mimosa at that bar before a flight is a tradition for me!
  2. Megan what place in Key West do you recommend for the lobster roll? Thanks! Vicki
  3. I am loving your review! I think your humor is great and keep doing exactly what you are doing. Thank you for bringing us along on your adventures!
  4. What a great report! I love your positive spirit and you really make us feel like we are there with you! I am so glad you are going to do another review on this great ship! You missed cold and rainy days here in North Texas and coming home just as the rain stops!
  5. It looks like you have been able to see all the areas without them being crazy crowded. That's so awesome, especially since it is a holiday week. When we were there in September it seemed every area was super crowded. Serenity pool looked like people soup (haha!)and people sitting all around it all day.
  6. I loved that guy! He plays so many different types of songs and it is a great backdrop when sitting at Fortune teller.
  7. That’s where we would watch the shows. Perfect viewing and a table for drinks. And no one crowded next to you . We always were able to snag a seat there.
  8. Melissa was the best! She handled the busyness of Brass Magnolia like a pro. She remembered everyone's name and mixed the drinks while carrying on full conversations with everybody. Loved seeing her in your picture.
  9. I am loving your review! I feel like I am reliving our trip on the Mardi Gras but also learning so much that I didn't know! Also, regarding Serenity---it was strangely windy when we were on it too. It is like a wind tunnel in that area. And, no one was in the pool either--just people shoulder to shoulder sitting around the pool the ENTIRE time. I went in to cool off one time and felt so strange! And the elevator situation--it was a mess on our sailing. That is one big fail on this ship I think. Keep up the posts as your week goes on!
  10. Yes! My kids went to school at Argyle so we are definitely Eagles fans! Haha! Looking forward to your adventures today! I can't believe the Brass Magnolia was so empty last night! Wait until all the other cruisers find it---The bar will look like Alchemy by the end of the week.
  11. We are from NTX too! We are close to UNT near the Tx Speedway. (Argyle area). We cruise from Galveston quite a bit and going on the Vista this Christmas. Kyndall has a special place in my heart as we took a cruise in 2019 shortly after my mom died and the first time I heard Kyndall's signature "Byeeee" it made me emotional as that is how my mom always said goodbye to us on the phone. I sure hope she is on the Jubilee. Also, when you attend shows in the Grand theater we found there were a section of seats right by the bar that were close to a ledge on the bottom level. They never had people sitting there and we always had a great view of the shows.
  12. My favorite at that bar was Lime on the Coconut. So good! I totally forgot Kyndall Fire was your cruise director--she is great! I am loving all your pictures and I can't believe all the places you have been that I never saw on our cruise. I need to book another on this ship! Hopefully the Jubilee will be similiar and I can catch some of these areas I never even saw that 8 aft area! If you are wanting to try another drink at BM the Praline trouffle martini was amazing. Also, I can't believe you got an elevator to yourself---The elevator situation on this ship was so bad on our cruise. But we just walked the steps (11 flights up and down got REALLY old by the end of the week though. haha!) Keep it up this week as I am loving following along on your trip so far.
  13. They did the same when I was on Mardi Gras in September. I think they may do that because the ship is larger and more people boarding. Great review so far! When you get on board make sure you go to the Brass Magnolia, It is a great place to people watch and good drinks. Hopefully Jennifer the bartender is still there. She's aweome. And, the Fortune Teller bar had a great musician that played 80's music among other songs. A great backdrop for having a drinks. Can wait to follow along!
  14. While I like to book outside cabins, on a ship this size if it was a choice of Havana or upper balcony I would pick Havana. These ships are so big and the main nightlife are on decks 6-7-8. Taking the elevators are horrible on these ships and climbing 11 flights of stairs to your room is no fun. We booked spa rooms on Mardi gras thinking we would hang out on Serenity but it turned out that even that area was so crowded and not relaxing during the day. We missed Havana! I think you will like Havana area for convenience and peace away from the crowds when you want it.
