Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. We indulged in a massage….only because we had a lot of obc. While the massage was nice I’ve had better ones. It was at best average and it would have been disappointing if we had to actually pay. Even worse was the $140 pedicure where you sit in uncomfortable chair with your feet in a bowl or in the manicurist lap! Most of people you see clogging the spa area are there to use thermal area. *** I did notice although tips are included they do linger afterward we felt (we could be wrong) they were expecting a tip.
  2. We gave additional tips to those that exceeded our expectations. Not sure I trust a “fund” who manages fund and decides who gets it?
  3. On our cruise which only had about 500 passengers on board. Finding a seat at the bar or even the lounge area sofas at Lobby Bar was near impossible at peak times. With full passenger pre dinner. We often walked down to Med Yacht Club even when not eating dinner there. Bar was always empty and bartender was one of the best!
  4. While on board in November Captain told me they are expecting 75 children on the Christmas cruise.
  5. We cruised in November and couldn't make it in
  6. I agree with so much of your summary, especially these two points. Even when DH and I would sit on deck off the beaten track. Where it was quiet and not a soul was around wait staff always quietly came by so no need for DH to find the closest bar for a new beer. I loved that the bartenders on board for the most part knew the proper way to make a cocktail! Only in conservatory pool bar did we find they had a heavy poured. I did not have to request light pours at any other bars as drinks were made properly. ❤️
  7. Oh my! We certainly don't fall into the target audience based on this get up! However, they gladly took our money! I personally find all the TA’s & influencers annoying. We had Porthole magazine running around taking photos while we were on board. As well as a bunch of TA’s. It's to be expected being a new line and hopefully will settle down
  8. DH and I did two weeks in early November. There was much to love about EJ1, such as the food!!!! Some stuff left us wanting, like the entertainment. Overall, it was terrific, and we left ship saying if we found a great price or itinerary, we’d book again. This sale got us couldn't pass it up so we booked for January 2025 on EJ II.
  9. Steaks were delicious!! But pretty big we would just get one and split it. They thought we were crazy but just hate wasting food. We’d get a delicious Caesar salad and split the steak….yum!
  10. You only need to watch and listen. The Influencers will even tell you.
  11. Tonno pizza or Margherita is the only choices? That definitely won't fly with the Americans. The buffet doesn't sound like place we will venture for dinner. Definitely not the experience we want. At least at a regular buffet (not our thing either) you can sit and eat at same time. Thanks for your review Florisdekot and photographs. Astern lounge sounds like my spot. How many are on board your sailing.
  12. All the influencers and TA’s got the nice upgrades. Paying guests will be treated like second class passengers. Watch how they will fall all over the “influencers” It’s a real turn off of the Mediterranean Shipping Company.
  13. I find the changing of names from steward to host etc totally silly and unnecessary. If they want to set themselves apart from other lines do it in quality of service, food, decor, itinerary, and a wide range of other things that would better help them stand out. Do they correct you if you call them by the wrong name?
  14. I had no literature and there was no website at the time. It's what was told to us by our TA.
