Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. We also had Jake on the Sunshine a couple of years ago...and I agree, he's a good one. Also, this past November, he was in a transition period with Lei Lei Ross (he was leaving, while she was transitioning onboard) on the Glory. Anyway, since Lei Lei was the acting CD, he had a little more available time to speak with the passengers. During one evening's 30 minute conversation, he recounted (if I remember correctly) how he, Lei Lei, Andy Mercer, and one other CD had all been placed in the same Fun Squad shortly after their hiring. He remarked how rare it was for so many members of the same Fun Squad to make it to the level of CD. He struck me as a very intelligent, charismatic, while focused guy. Hopefully, we'll get to cruise with him again one day. Garnett
  2. On our last cruise in November, my wife received the Diamond Gifts while on the cruise, but no letter. However, we had already achieved Diamond status back in 2021 and had sailed an additional 100+ days since then, so receiving the additional gifts seemed strange. Obviously, she wasn't the only one whose gifts were duplicated. Garnett
  3. I'll beg to differ...I think the Pampers (I mean Panthers) take that high honor 😜
  4. We just got off the last Greenland cruise and as the previous poster indicates, there is no priority debarkation due to the large amount of Platinum/Diamond guests. However, even without priority debark and basically taking our time, we were at the Baltimore airport by 11am without any issues at all. I'm speculating that if we had REALLY tried to get off the ship as quickly as possible, we could probably have made it to the airport as early at 10:15, but again, this is pure speculation....and I really wouldn't book air passage based on it. Garnett
  5. No reason given for the removals...and at $700/cabana (at now without AC), I won't be renting one again. My opinion only. YMMV Garnett https://www.cruisehive.com/carnival-cruise-line-makes-change-at-private-island/111110?utm_source=Cruise+Hive+Newsletter&utm_campaign=ca15973a1d-CHV_RSS_News_InstantUpdates&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_e04b47b456-ca15973a1d-633218579
  6. We're "in the same boat" ourselves. Getting ready to head out the door to the airport on our way to Baltimore. See you on board! Garnett
  7. Thanks! I learned something new! 😀 Garnett
  8. I know they sometimes give Military discounts in the cruise fares, but am not aware of them granting any OBC for veterans...and maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see any mention of OBC in the link provided above either... Garnett
  9. On our last cruise (we debarked 5/13/23), other than a free glass of wine, there were NO free drinks at the Platinum/Diamond party. However, they did put one free drink on your SNS card to be used at your discretion. Even at the Diamond party, you could order only 1 drink at a time. My wife tried to order two drinks when we entered the venue, but was quickly shut down. Garnett
  10. Relative to the "other lines", MSC had zero comedy on the Meraviglia when we cruised on her earlier this month. Garnett
  11. It was the original TSS Mardi Gras back in August 1984. Garnett
  12. Of course, I'm being facetious, but on a serious note, I do miss when cruise ships would stay late at a port....sometimes until the very early morning. You still see it sometimes, but not nearly as frequently as it used to happen...
