Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I mean, to each their own but I will not be taking a cruise that stops in Haiti anytime in the near future. It seems shortsighted to think the gangs only see beaches and tourists beyond the barbed wire...there is a freaking unarmed, mega ship they could hijack. Staying on the ship is no 'safe zone'. These are desperate criminals and despite the almost guaranteed failure of pirating a ship, I would not put it past them at all to try and have more than a few lives lost other than their own. Not a relaxing vacation to me.
  2. Hello, I searched the boards for the answer and could not find it so here goes: We will be first time sailors on Princess and I am very confused about their photo packages. Let me start by saying we do not drink, we do not want wifi, we do not want a fitness class, and we do not intend to eat at any casual dining venues so the Plus or Premiere packages do absolutely nothing for us but prepay gratuities. This is what is on the website: Photo Packages Photo Packages 5-Photo Package $89.00 5-Photo Package $89.00 Our professional photographers capture your memories at sea. Choose your 5 favorite photos from our Snap Shots, Cruise Moments and Perfect Portraits prints and receive the digital files for free on a souvenir thumb drive. This includes a 10% savings compared to onboard pricing for the same package.

Choose your 10 favorite photos from our Snap Shots, Cruise Moments and Perfect Portraits prints and receive the digital files for free on a souvenir thumb drive. This includes a 10% savings compared to onboard pricing for the same package. The part I am hazy on is the digital copies: are they all the photos taken or only copies of the ones you had printed? Can someone who actually knows let me know?
  3. True, but we'll be using it more for the mocktails, which we REALLY enjoyed when we had the beverage package on Holland America. We also really loved having the special coffees and teas, but no way I am paying for the zero alcohol package. We'll pay for those ala carte since it won't be an every day thing
  4. We did the math and we are not going for the zero alcohol package because (IMO) it is extremely over priced. The soda package really has all we need and we may do an ala carte for a coffee/tea every once and awhile but not enough to make it worth it to upgrade. We are prepaying our gratuities, but have no need of wifi, the casual dining, fitness classes or anything else on the package. This is our first time with PCL, but I must say, for the price of the plus package, I am surprised no specialty dining outside of the casual restaurants are included and no excursions. Ah well.
  5. Thank you. It is not in the terms and conditions for the package I am looking at but then it is probably not there for obvious reasons since it does not apply.
  6. Hello. We will be on the 8 night, Western Caribbean cruise next year on the Caribbean Princess. It is just my DH and myself in our room and we are traveling with a couple using the Plus package. My DH and I do not drink but we love the mocktails! I have read the terms and conditions and did not see the answer and it could be from previous cruises on other lines, but I thought there was a limit of 15 drinks a day? Does that limit exist for a N/A package or is it there to limit alcoholic overconsumption on board? Is it a hard and fast limit, or is it more discretionary based on their observations of thinking you may be sharing or getting drunk? I am only asking because we may get several glasses of juice in the morning which are pretty small, more than a few sodas/refills up on deck plus we love the mocktails when seating in lounges/bars and during and after dinner...those can add up. There is no chance we would attempt to circumvent the sharing rule as our travel companions have the alcohol included package and have no need. Anyone have experience with this?
  7. Well, we are definitely within 7 days (I just saw this thread) December 4, 2022 Nieuw Amsterdam  7 days celebrating my 50th Birthday and our 18th Wedding Anniversay
  8. Those look wonderful, but are not available on my sailing on the 4th
  9. Thank you. I will just bring a small, artificial tree onboard then. I would rather have chosen one from HAL, but if it isn't am option, then so be it 😄
  10. Any idea why it keeps getting bumped back? Last week, the weather was pretty bad but I can't see why it's late today.
  11. I was looking at the arrangement selections on the HAL site and not real thrilled with any of the choices. Is there any shoreside florist that I can have delivered to the ship to be placed in the stateroom. We leave next week and I would prefer to have a Christmas themed arrangement but there's nothing with their selections.
  12. Thank you so, so much! These are just what I was looking for 😄
  13. Thank you. I'm on with HAL now and they say it is still available on select nights in the Pinnacle but she couldn't be more specific like when. I thought I read someone stated it was stopping, but I can't find anything from HAL stating they've stopped and her computer is still saying it's there. *shrug*
  14. Not sure if this helps, but my DH and I booked the Quench package and here's the list of the mocktails included. I'm assuming it's all they have: https://rogerjett-photography.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Beverage-Packages-2021.pdf
  15. Does anyone know where one can see if the Rudi's night is still Available on the Nieuw Amsterdam, officially?
