Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I was on the Celebration 4 weeks ago and this was not the case. Hence my post. So this must be new.
  2. Up until last month all specialty dining reservations included gratuities. Yesterday I went to book Bonsai Teppanyaki and gratuities were added. $38 per person became $44+. I'm not complaining about $6 but about the fact that these charges are silently being added to more and more areas. Not informing the guests at all.
  3. They might call it that on the Mardi Gras, but it's TINY. Not at all comparable with the T-pools on the Dream class ships.
  4. I would move from any deck 9 balcony or suite. Most of these cabins look down to a White overhang, so you can only see the ocean if you look straight.
  5. On the Mardi Gras and Celebration there are definitely separate lines for drinks and food.
  6. Would you mind sharing the location of this ice-cream place?
  7. People sure love to bash travel agents on social media. I bet for for each bad experience, there are at minimum 5 success stories when agents stay on the phone for hours fixing stuff, getting the exact cabins you want next to each other, offer extra amenities, etc. But we don't get to hear those.
  8. I bring sugar free water enhancers and my favorite sugar free sodas. Not many options onboard.
  9. Search for hotels in Miami Springs. They all offer free airport shuttle service.
  10. You need to take an Uber or Lyft to the 2nd street office of Avis/Budget. Taxi drivers will get mad about the short distance. On turn around day, it's a mad house at that location. I'd rather just go to the airport. There is a Sixt office in the Intercontinental hotel and Enterprise at the Doubletree Grand Biscayne Bay If you're staying there, this would be convenient.
  11. Booking through AA would give us a great rate plus lots of bonus AA miles. But the majority leans towards the Hampton Inn, so Brickell it is!! Thanks everyone!
  12. Please help this crazy family out. Which would you choose and why? Intercontinental Miami downtown Hampton inn Brickell A view of the ships is not important to us. But comfort and good location. Looking forward to your comments.
  13. 1. The agent could and should have booked the group from the get go in GoCCL. No need to call Carnival for that. 2. Once she booked everyone individually (FIT bookings), Carnival cannot transfer these into a group. They would need to be canceled and rebooked. 3. Not all promotions qualify to be berthed into a group. 4. You only get a free berth with a minimum of 8 cabins. But a minimum of 5 cabins will get you group amenities such as OBC, etc. Sorry to say, this doesn't sound like the most qualified advisor.
