Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. We are booked on Enchanted Princess in July (first Princess cruise), and our booking includes the Plus package. A few weeks ago I saw the ability to upgrade to the Premier package online. We discussed it and decided to upgrade, but now the option no longer appears on the website or the app. Has anyone else experienced this glitch, or know if Princess has stopped offering pre-cruise upgrades? I assume we can upgrade onboard, but I am not sure about the availability of specialty dining reservations if we wait until then. Thanks for any insight anyone can provide!
  2. Those are great—are they from Amazon? We’ve never done the ducks, but are taking a family cruise on Enchanted this summer and I’m thinking of getting some for our young niece and nephew to hide.
  3. You can check on the upgrade price on the website. When I looked at ours, it was $18/day instead of $20. We didn't book it yet, but I plan on doing it soon and hope that is still the price.
  4. Tell yourself that if it makes you feel better about being a cheapskate. The crew, including a ton you don’t see, work their tails off for your vacation and you want to stiff them.
  5. We’ve never felt pressured to give extra tips on Celebrity. We usually have OBC and so leave an extra amount for our steward, but typically that’s it.
  6. Yes, I'd love to know where that "overall guest feedback" came from they cite.
  7. Wow, that's much different than the response I received earlier today: Thank you so much for this valuable feedback. We really appreciate you taking the time to contact the Executive Offices at Celebrity Cruises. This test is currently taking place in the casinos on the Celebrity Equinox and Celebrity Eclipse through August 20th. It is a test at this point, and all feedback is being taking into consideration, so again, thank you. As a brand we will continue to keep our guests as the main focus, and you taking the time to reach out is truly beneficial and appreciated. Again, thank you so much for the feedback provided regarding our recent change.
  8. I sent an email yesterday and got the same reply terrydtx received--glad to see they took out the part about it not impacting cruisers. Even though I didn't include the date of my upcoming Equinox cruise, the response had our sailing date and reservation number in the subject line.
  9. I hope you note this on your post-cruise survey, if you haven't mentioned it already. I'd hate to see the policy change permanently.
  10. We did this itinerary on Equinox back in November 2019, and liked it so much we are booked again for this November! I'm going to look into Renaissance Island--never heard of it, so thanks for the info! Last time we just did a tour around the island and weren't too impressed. Bonaire we'll go snorkeling again, and Curacao was fun just to walk around--not sure if we'll book something this time or not. Congratulations on your PhDs, and enjoy your trip!
  11. We had the sparkling wine and macarons on Day 1, but I thought that was a YC thing--it wasn't until later I realized it was for being Diamond. Towards the end of the cruise I received a 75% extra dark chocolate bar--tasted it when I got home and it was like eating baking chocolate. I didn't know there were supposed to be other gifts.
  12. Hello, NCL cruisers! I recently took my first NCL cruise on Escape. It was a solo cruise because my DH couldn't get time off, but he'd like to try NCL sometime. Is there any type of chart or summary that details the difference between the various classes of NCL ships? My DH liked the idea of the ropes course, so I assume I'd have to stick with the Breakway Plus class to find activities like that. I'm wondering if there are "good, better, best" (or maybe "old, new, newest") categories, or how fellow cruisers judge the ships. I understand some people like a smaller number of passengers (Jewel class, it appears), but I'd like my DH to experience at least what I did on Escape. Thanks for any assistance!
  13. I’m sailing on Sunday, and today when I was looking at excursions, my cruise also showed all sea days. However, when I clicked on the days, the appropriate shore excursion choices appeared.
  14. Enjoying your review after reading them on the X and NCL boards! We had our first MSC experience in January (YC on a Divina three-nighter), but the time we spent outside YC did not seem nearly as nice as yours. My husband said he would cruise MSC again but only in YC. I think because it was a weekend cruise, we may have had a different clientele—it was packed with kids, taking over the pools and the hot tubs. My husband went to the buffet at 2 PM to get some pizza and couldn’t believe the lines. The picture of your muffaletta sandwich made me chuckle—it was like a face looking at me. As for your pedicure, you should try Color Street nail polish strips—no drying time!
