Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Same here we got to Plat with the 10 cruises, but as a result it took 10 years to get to Diamond and that was with cruising every year on minimum of 7 days each cruise!
  2. We booked also using a BCC offer my DH got. We are lowly Pearl as well. However we are Select Tier with Celebrity. When I try to purchase Wifi through the website it does not give me my 25% discount. I called the Loyalty line and they referred me to BCC. After holding for an hour I gave up. Does anyone have recommendations or experience with this? Thanks.
  3. We returned from our first Transatlantic and decided it was a one and done. Cancelled the Jubilee TA next year and opted for the 15 day from New York on this lady. Excited to try out one of the former Costa ships. Hubby wanted to try the Luminosa but we have no desire to go to Australia, so this works perfectly. We are Raymon and Vicky from Arizona.
  4. Yep, got my BinaxNow tests on Sunday. Ready for the Oct. 11th sailing
  5. I "worked" with VPN on 3 cruises this year. It is extremely slow and frustrating unless you pick less busy times. I found late afternoon to work best. I also found that the middle package was just as good as the premium. That is just my experience. P.S. I am able to get e-mail on my phone and that worked lots better than my laptop. Teams meetings were no problem.
  6. I send my laundry out but not those items I want to hang dry. Those I go to the laundry room and wash myself and then hang them in the shower. It would be nice to ask to have clothes returned to hang dry, but I just don't see that happening. Now ships like Mardi Gras does not even have laundry facilities.
  7. Just my experience, the mid WiFi works as good as the more expensive WiFi. I did zoom meetings and worked on 3 different cruises this year. The first two I paid for the upgraded WiFi the last one I did not. No difference. Where you will encounter the most difficulty is on a sea day when everyone is on their phones.
  8. Can someone post a picture of the B2B instructions when you get a chance? Thanks!
  9. We did the Carnival excursion. They did tour us around and then at the end they dropped us near Notre Dame and we had free time. I will tell you it was a good thing we did the Carnival excursion as most all of the Carnival buses we late returning to the ship.
  10. My DH and I did this Carnival excursion a few years ago. We knew we would likely never get to Paris again, just not high on the bucket list. It was worth the long bus trip there and back. We actually arrived back at the ship late, but it was a Carnival excursion. We had an amazing experience at a small cafe across from the Notre Dame, we opted to view from outside versus standing in a long line to enter. At this small cafe we met an America couple on vacation and staying in Paris and a family from Peru whom we were able to converse with in Spanish. We did get to see the highlights and walk under the Eiffel Tower. My vote is do it!
  11. We have sailed 4 times this year (2022) while I was working. The first two I paid for Premium wifi and it was pretty slow. The last 2 times (April) I went with the value plan and it actually worked as good or better than Premium. Both plans I was able to do Teams meetings without any problems. Great way to mix travel with business.
  12. We booked the Saint John day pass in Aug 2019. I don't remember how much it cost, but the breakfast and lunch were both pretty amazing. Lunch was ordered off a menu. The resort is very pretty and the many pools awesome. The beach was not very big nor easy to get to, but it was pretty. If you are looking for a relaxing day then I would recommend this.
  13. Nope! On the MG ours arrived while we were at dinner and for no reason! The Priority Diamond or Platinum tag means nothing. It is only a suggestion.
