Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Thanks. I looked online and their website said it did, but I also know to not always believe everything on their site. LOL
  2. Does the bed separate in the yacht club interior suites? We are sailing on the Meraviglia. TIA
  3. Thank you again for your informative blog. I have been wanting to try something new, but always a bit afraid. But I have not only booked with my husband and kids, but my mom and her BFF are going to book too! I could not be more thrilled than to sail with everyone that is so super important to me. The food sounds divine. My only concern is the size of the ship and amount of passengers, but it seems like we will just have to find the right times to hit things and find the quiet places if we need to get out of the hustle and bustle. Thanks again.
  4. We have always paid tax out of Baltimore as well. I cannot honestly remember if we did out of NJ. It doesn't add up to much, but I guess MD an NY are making their cut...
  5. NYS has laws regarding ulimited alcohol. (I am a bartender, I know). There are ways around this. I am sure MSC has a way around, in which it is included. Therefore, they are not selling, offering, etc. It is technically not a fixed price. It is simply included with the cost of the cruises as it stands right now. With CCL, you have to purchase the package, no way to include it exactly, and out of NYC and Galveston, you have to purchase a-la-carte. Of course you are also not charged for that day for the package. Below is the very abbreviated version. Hence my question...If you sailed on CCL out of NY, and had CHEERS, you would be in for a surprise. My surprise is a happy one with this info! Tax has also been changed before hitting international waters. In NYS: No licensee, acting individually or in conjunction with one or more licensees, shall: (a) offer, sell, serve, or deliver to any person or persons an unlimited number of drinks during any set period of time for a fixed price. (b) allow a person, agent, party organizer, or promoter, as such terms shall be defined by the authority in rule and regulation, to offer, sell, serve, or deliver to any person or persons an unlimited number of drinks during any set period of time for a fixed price.
  6. Hi! Rochester girl here too! Was wondering if you could use the drink package upon boarding in NY? Thanks! Enjoy the rest of your cruise!
  7. Your blog and review are so well written and well done. Thank you. I am not booked until next March, but I am really looking forward to it! I have learned a lot from this review, like how I am going to end up in Hola! a lot. HAHA.
  8. Dumb question, I know, but does Jack's accept cc? Trying to figure out how much actual cash to bring and where...
  9. Can anyone tell me how much the extra person surcharge is per person. We have a party of 10, 8 are included, so 2 additional. Thank you in advance!
