Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. The blanket pictured is for purchase. I brought a vaccum bag to bring it home and my son loves it.
  2. Yes. We are Emerald on Royal, so no huge loyalty benefits to even out the cost. We dont gamble, so no free cruises. I just booked Carnival Mardi Gras for next year. Mid ship extended Balcony with all the extras (gratuity, drink package, internet, specialty dining) was $400 cheaper than a Neighborhood Balcony Guarantee (with no extras) on Wonder for the same time frame. I don't expect that it will be the same as Royal, but when I can practically take 2 Carnival cruises for the same price as 1 on Royal I will give it a try. If we don't like Carnival and Royal's prices continue to sky rocket, we will likely stick to land based vacations for a while.
  3. We carry our water cups with us. I have found it easy to refill at the Windjammer, Park Cafe, Sorrento, Cafe Promenade, and more. Bars will also give you a glass of water to pour into your cup. I like ice cold water and have never had a problem finding it on Oasis or Quantum class ships.
  4. Can the 50% off beer, soda, and wine loyalty coupons be used on Coco Cay? We won't have a drink package and am wondering about grabbing a couple of cheap beers while at the beach.
  5. The official rule is that you can bring 12 non alcoholic drinks up to 17 oz each on-board with you on embarkation day. These should be in your carry on.
  6. We enjoyed the ship, but we're overall disappointed in the "Alaska experience" on Royal. We had previously cruised on Princess on an inside passage itinerary out of Seattle and found it to be much better.
  7. We have done this for our son. If they don't have bread use a hamburger bun with the outside pointed in. They had no problem throwing it on the grill for me.
  8. We have brought them on several occasions without issues.
  9. I received an email from Special Needs confirming that we have been added to the list for Priority Boarding. I show this email to staff because no one ever seems to know what "list" they are referring to.
  10. We have experience with this with our ASD kid. When arriving at the port I find an employee, show them the letter from Special Needs and they usually escort us towards the front if the line towards security. Our experience has been that you still wait in the security and check in lines as normal. If you arrive at the port before boarding begins, you can ask to be let on with the group that needs extra assistance. Overall, it just helps alleviate some of the waiting in lines. At disembarkation, each ship has been a bit different. One gave us suite tags so we could get off first, one had a group meet at a specified time and n employee escorted everyone needing this service off, and another ship acted like they had no idea what I was talking about and wasn't able to offer us anything.
  11. The May 15th cruise is now going to Sitka instead. Less than 2 weeks notice. I am so disappointed.
  12. I don't recall which side of the Windjammer it is on, but there is a coffee bar as well. I visited it every morning on Harmony.
  13. What time have rooms been ready lately? I saw someone mention that it is later than it used to be since Room Stewards are now responsible for more rooms, but I'm wondering if this is actually the case.
  14. Just checked and this is the same for our May 15, 2023 Quantum cruise.
