Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. You're probably going to have to wait until this ship actually sails. As you may know, this is a new ship whose maiden voyage was scrubbed. Jim
  2. I've never seen anyone get sick on a whale-watching cruise. However, I was disturbed that the captain on our Princess tour in Cabo was aggressively chasing whales. In Hawaii, he'd have been arrested. Made me angry. Jim
  3. I'm pretty sure the port fees will be refunded. And if gratuities are prepaid they too will be refunded. Jim
  4. I agree that trays would make life easier for cruisers. My guess is the reason we don't have them is money. It costs cruise lines more to provide them and yet more money to have cruisers shlep on a bunch of food that goes half-uneaten.
  5. Obviously, ship is the correct term. But how can people so bent on correctness refer to cruising the Caribbean on a 3,000-passenger vessel as "sailing"? Jim
  6. Thanks, TS. My apologies to the OP for diverting attention from your question. In general, I think you will enjoy Princess. What ship are you looking at? Jim Jim
  7. We're on Brilliance -- to Alaska. Jim
  8. We are long-time Princess cruisers about to take our first Royal Caribbean cruise since 2000. I'm concerned as I look at CC's Royal Caribbean forum that people have to reserve shows in the theater and pay a $7.95 service charge for room service. You will face neither of these obstacles on Princess. And their access to Glacier Bay is a deal maker. Jim
  9. We were on board from Oct. 15-26. Was not aware of any covid at all. Not saying there wasn't a case or 12, but it was apparently not an issue. Jim
  10. I have not heard of the choir being resurrected after covid. But I sure hope it will be. I found it to be a lot of fun. Jim
  11. Chairman of the Board remains in the Crooners menu, at least on Regal this week and last. Thing is, I'm not really sure it's a martini. It's certainly not served in a traditional martini glass. Jim
  12. L11 gives us a good crash course above, especially in regard to sizes. I know there are adults who play and like sopranos (small ukes) and concerts (medium), but I can’t properly place my fingers on frets so small. So I play tenors. A lot of the cheap stuff on Amazon is just junk. You might find yourself spending as much to have it “set up,” (make it playable) as you paid to buy it. For something like $129, you can get a Kala KA-T, a laminated tenor that could keep you happy for quite a while. I must admit I’ve bought several since my KA-T, but it’s still a useful instrument. If you want advice on brands, sizes and more, check out the forums at ukulele underground.com Meantime, I’d love to cruise with the Elia crew some day. Jim
  13. Remember what we’ve been told about “always” and “never”? We got off the Regal this morning. No baked Alaska, no meatloaf. Jim
  14. I think this is something Norwegian used to do. Never heard of it on Princess. Jim
  15. Confusion is no fun, but suites are. Congrats! Jim
