Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. For the first time in 25 years our small 9" box fan was taken at disembarkation. We sailed out of San Pedro and the security had us open our carryon rolling bag and take it out. Told them we always take it but they held it til the end of the cruise. Even tried to go to Guest Services who called security but we are denied. The policy is worded vaguely of course: Electrical devices such as small fans, power strips, multi plug box outlets/adaptors, and extension cords without surge protectors are allowed onboard when used with proper caution. However, if such devices are determined to pose a hazard they will be removed and returned the last day of the cruise prior to debark. Has this happened to anyone else? We have also sailed carnival and HAL with no problem. If we pack in our checked bag will we get an invitation to the naughty room.
  2. I no longer see beer available in on-board services. There are "good times roll" packages and "bon voyage party" packages in that include 5 beers, casino credit, guac and such but its in the celebration packages. Only wine and spirits in the wine and spirits section
  3. When did this change? Just did a Vow renewal in January on the Regal for $249. We've gotten a Vow renewal every 5 years and the last time we had wonderful time with Captain Paolo. A little rocky tracking down the coordinator but she finally came through. Plus, I don't see anything on the Onboard services about weddings or Vow renewals, how does one inquire? May have to come up with a new Vow renewal tradition at that price ($1595).
  4. Thanks. The reason I ask is because we already have a table for two reserved each night at the same time. BUT...we prefer a dedicated table for two as opposed to the couch/table configuration. That's what we would need assistance with.
  5. Ask this before on another thread but it got buried with no response, so I'll try here. Please remind me: With most everything being moved to the app, does the MD still hold court in one of the dining rooms on embarkation day?

  7. we found out we were sailing with a large polka group on board. I also thought "cool, I like polka, maybe I'll contact them to see if we can pay a bit to get into some of their events." Their response, " No, we had to book through the group" So we said okay, never mind. Come cruise time various venues we usually liked to attend like the nightclub and such were closed to just them. Embarkation was a mess since they had to cater to the large group. And also dining was a challenge because, you guessed it "we have a large group on board". So it does and will impact any cruise - no matter the kind of group - any group of size makes an impact. Heck even large families can be a hurdle some times. One note: they did let the polka band perform one night for the "masses". It was fun. Just wish it wasn't such a hassle the rest of he cruise.
  8. How does one use the uber app while in port? Schedule prior to getting off ship or after being tendered?
  9. Question: How would one use the uber app while in port? WIFI can be difficult to find on short notice. Schedule prior to getting off ship? But then how do you schedule while contending with tenders? Also where is the pick up? At the Surf boards? Any help would be appreciated.
  10. Just curious, is it 3 entree per person limit? We usually order one entree for her, one for me and one for the middle. Still cool?
  11. I've heard through the grapevine that carnival may start charging when more than one or two main dishes are ordered in the main dining room. Is there any word on what if any the limit is on apps? We love small plates and often there are more than one or two apps we'd love to try during any given dinner service. And have always had no problem getting our wish in the past.
  12. I hope you get your OBC. We book casino cruises too and sometimes we get the credit, other times not so much. Good luck. We're all counting on you.☺️
  13. We used resort for a day. The resort was Hotel RIU Jalisco, Puerto Vallarta. The taxi ride was bit lengthy the resort was so much fun. The taxi fare to the resort could be expensive, depending on who you use. It was easier and less expensive to get a cab from the resort back to the ship.
  14. Polka group, I think. Should be lively. We're on the cruise, but not with the group. Any group of that size is bound to make a difference in terms of certain venues and such. Maybe we'll catch a view or a listen.
