Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Did you post this topic on the Carnival Board ? I bet you'll get more insight from recent cruisers there..
  2. Woof, I hope that same principle doesn't apply to my luggage out in the hall in front of my cabin.
  3. Cheapest way would be NJ to Wallstreet NYC ..I assume path train ? Then a short NYC ferry ride https://www.ferry.nyc/ from Wall Street to Red Hook. From that ferry terminal it's a 5 minute walk to Brooklyn cruise terminal
  4. If you are already "not too excited" to sail with MSC why book it ? I'd stick with Royal since they offer all the perks you like...
  5. When clicking link below https://www.msccruisesusa.com/cruise/experiences-staterooms?_gl=1*upjbvc*_up*MQ..&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI2saO8q2DhAMVPU1HAR0XTw0wEAAYASAAEgKK-vD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds It still shows Chance to request preferred dinner sitting (subject to availability) when I click the Fantastica Food and drinks hyperlink
  6. So sorry for your loss. Wouldn't your mom get a refund of your dads port taxes and any other pre-pays if you cancel his half of the reservation ?
  7. A few years back I followed a few Bloggers on world cruises with Princess. The majority of pax were older and retired. Watching you-tube videos now I see folks of all ages sailing. I heard there's some kids doing the full world sailing. They are being "home-schooled" by their parents. I'm also hearing of some who are on the full sailing who are working remote on the ship. Then there are a bunch of influences that are sailing to broadcast content. That being said I'm sure the majority of full world cruises are still retired.
  8. How did you like Venezia ? We sailed on her in October with a super low casino offer. We hated the ship so much that we canceled our January sailing on her and switched to Getaway 2/6. The Venezia casino is super smoky. More than any other Carnival ship. The little smoke free annex casino didn't have the machines I wanted to play. Service was very spotty. Especially casino drink service and MDR..Next Winter I'm going back on MSC Meraviglia. Nice winter itineraries January '25
  9. You keep bringing up that fact that he was singing religious songs. Would it have been more tolerable if he sang Broadway showtunes or 60's folk rock ?
  10. Passengers may or may not care. However there's a good chance cruise lines do. That was my point. NCL signed exclusive agreements with port of Miami and Port Canaveral committing to a certain amount of sailings per year. More ships sailing out of Florida and elsewhere means a ship that would have otherwise sailed out of NYC is no longer available.
  11. I don't think NCL is completely abandoning NY. This cut in sailings is a trend that has been going on for the last several years. I have a few theories. 1. NCL figures that they can increase revenue by putting a ship elsewhere. 2. MSC has a ship in Brooklyn year-round that they now have to compete with to fill cabins. 3. Other cities like Miami have built shiny new Terminals while MCT continues to be a relic of years gone by. Perhaps they want to make a statement to NYC officials by reducing sailings ? I am on the 2/6 sailing on Getaway. Ship close to sold out. Prices up. Doesn't appear that there will be those last minute "fire sales" of previous years.
  12. Is the $315.00 fee only available if you pre-book online ? Or will same discount apply if we pay at the pier same as as the cruise ? Is it against the rules to post the discount code here as well ?
  13. I agree. NCL is not the only game in town. That is why I have Sept. and January "25 cruises on MSC The Feb. '24 cruise on NCL Getaway is most likely my last Winter cruise on NCL for the foreseeable future.
