Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. We just booked a four nighter for September and were told no formal nights on short cruises
  2. We went to concierge upon embarking…Requested to move to Wednesday night to celebrate our SIL and BIL 50th anniversary. Lots of huffy and puffing and I don’t know. Finally picked up phone and she made a three minute phone call and it was moved
  3. We live in the area and always use Captains Airport and Seaport Car Service.
  4. I think I would know difference on Bulleit…I would drink higher end bourbon but I am mixing and not a sipper like my husband so I leave the expensive bourbons for him. He has some very expensive bourbons that aren’t meant for mixing. As for Tito’s…I am gluten free and that is one of the vodkas I can drink. Have had some bad experiences trying other brands and can’t stand Absolute or Smirnoffs so I stick to what I know I can tolerate. I know this is personal taste preference.
  5. Normally we buy packages as we find with wifi, tips (on other lines), drinks included it works for us. But Celebrity seems to have a lower $$ amount per drink than other lines. Will be interesting to see how this cruise goes. We only have cruised Celebrity one time previously in the mid 90’s but the kids want to celebrate our 50th anniversary with us and this was only option that worked with everyone’s schedule.
  6. We have decided to opt out of buying the drink package. Our cruise is only a 5 day cruise. Normally we book longer cruises but this time traveling with our family which consists of our 4 year old autistic grandson and his moms aren’t sure how he will do. We have decided to pay as we go since we get complimentary drinks in the evening. We will be taking diet coke with us for in cabin use.
  7. They could but believe me I have seen some big a$$ strollers on ships. Worse I encountered was a couple with twins who brought their side by side stroller to dining room every night and essentially blocked us in. Even asking politely for it to be moved so we could move our chairs or go to the restroom was met with noncompliance. I wondered how they ever got down narrow halls.
  8. Thanks everyone. Guess drinks cost $10 to $17 depending on liquor selected. I will have to run the numbers and decide. 😁😁😁
  9. I am trying to decide if it is worth buying drink package or not. From what I read the classic includes drinks up to $10 and if over you pay difference plus gratuity. But what are standard prices? I have searched on CC and the internet and cannot seem to find any of the drink menus. I know fancy cocktails will cost more but am looking for typical like Bulleit and diet coke or Titos and diet sprite. Also can anyone tell me cost of mocktails. Traveling with young grandson that will feel grown up sitting there with a drink. TIA.
  10. There is a bus service. Look under Cruise Connection. Can’t post link as site is down now. Not sure if they go from St Petersburg but they did go from some west coast cities. Other option is get to Orlando and take Brightline
  11. It has been a few years but we were assigned seats No choice. Not sure if this is normal or it was because we were on a tour group arranged by TA.
  12. Are you specifically looking for Orlando? There are many small towns on outskirts that would be less money but if you are going to visit the mouse you will have to factor in convenience of being closer and the traffic situation.
  13. February is right in the middle of Florida winter tourist season. Add the fact that many northern schools have a February vacation break , you will find it hard to find a bargain.
  14. Same issue and I was trying to make final payment. Finally tried and logged in under booking number and was successful that way.
  15. One of my drinks that I frequently order is. vodka gimlet on the rocks. Everyone insists on making it with Rose’s sweetened lime juice. To me this is heartburn in a bottle. I did finally find out that if requested they will use fresh limes or use a bottle of pure lime juice. After finding out I could request this I never had anyone refuse to make it “my” way. This only works if ordering from bar staff….can’t do it on medallion
