Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. And when you consider one probably has to earn about $850 gross dollars in order to clear $600 net after taxes, ss, etc...yeah definitely not negligible. That said, I much prefer a balcony. But then I try to avoid crowds and loud music on a cruise. I find the opportunity to sit on the balcony, looking over the water, with perhaps my favorite beverage, a few snacks and some music, lost in my thoughts...now that is something that is just not available to me at home. I try to do that for a couple hours most everyday when we are on a cruise. Add to that a couple visits a day to the Cloud 9 Spa thermal suites and T-Pool..now that is a vacation and worth the extra money to me.
  2. Too late for a worthless apology IMO. Just another example of CCL doing CCL things....
  3. Since I don't drink alcohol and usually drink diet Zero sodas when I do drink soda, I really like to indulge in a Mexican Coke (real sugar) in Cozumel. Hopefully a 16 oz glass bottle. Life's simple pleasure!
  4. Our first cruise or two we tried to do everything. After those two, we just decided to relax and what happens, happens. Worst case, we head to our balcony and just watch the sunset. Rushing from this show to that club to that MDR and back to that show....not really relaxing always checking the time, hurrying, etc. Just the opposite of what we wanted our vacations to be.
  5. Why in the world would you call that number provided in a suspicious email? And twice? SMH.... Know just like phone numbers popping up on your phone, "from" emails can be manipulated to display as legit emails. Just never ever never ever respond through an email (or text) or to any contact (phone, email) provided in that suspicious email.
  6. As others, have done that with some non-cotton workout clothes. No issues. Another tip...pack some old clothes (or clothes you don't like) that you can basically wear 1-2 times then trash. Have done that with an old sun shirt and baseball cap...wore them on two excursions then trash. Trashed an older pair of swim trunks at the end of the a cruise. Same with some old running shoes on three different cruises.
  7. Well, apparently Carnival is now (correctly) below Burger King in service....you cannot have it your way! Any yeah I know BK changed their tagline, but most still recognize this one.
  8. We thought about going to the steakhouse a couple cruises ago...but then we realized we could save that money and go to the local Brazilian Steakhouse $26(weekday lunch). It was a no brainer to pass on the steakhouse. And glad I did because the more cruises we have taken, the less I like the beef on CCL. Open flame is just so much better.
  9. Liking a product is not a reason to buy that companies stock. I have bought Honda vehicles exclusively for over 30 years. No way on earth I would ever buy their stock...even if they offered free oil changes and tire rotations to shareholders!
  10. Good grief. It is all about the bottom line. If the same ports produce sold out cruises, the the itineraries are cost efficient, why change? Perhaps time to explore non-cruise vacation options.
  11. I always stay in a Spa Cabin just for access to the thermal suites (Dream Class). I have only booked two appointments and both times it was on the ship when they were offering specials to those of us in the Spa Cabins. One was $50 off any service (no minimum price) another was a full hour massage for $75 IIRC. My belief is they will offer you better prices once on the ship...unless of course their staffing levels are as bad as the rest of the ship then who knows. If you cannot find your answer, and you are not looking to book something on the embarkation day, I would just book it in advance, and once on board, go check with the spa on the final price. If you don't like it, just cancel.
  12. Agree with your post-pandemic assessment. We are likely to not cruise again. Now I just need to ween myself off this website.....
  13. Curb food waste on a oil burning ships that regularly dump sewage in the ocean. Yeah...excellent.
  14. No additional charge...yet. Give them time to figure it out.
