Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. My father in law is 91 and although he might pass away, it would be more likely he might become seriously ill. And we would not want to go, other members of the family would start a unstoppable feud, if we appeared to be living it up on his death bed. When we booked it didn't seem like almost 2 years later this would be an issue (if you know what I mean). Since my original post, I have really dug Into things. And although I feel like we have no preexisting conditions. We are late 50's. Meaning I have gerd and take a rx ..... my point is Although I think we have no preexisting conditions, what would an insurance claim dept say, lol. So I believe I have settled on this, (unless you advise different). Our cruise was priced oddly meaning my fare was 3 times higher than DH (dh only 700ish) Going to go with geoblue for both of us and celebrity ins. JUST for me So we're covered completely on medical and evac thru geoblue and most of our cruise fare covered thru my celebrity insurance. We will simply eat the remaining cruise fare and land portion. Ty for any advice
  2. Wow yesterday zero proof was $30 with a discount to 26.99..... NOW...... IT IS $45 I COULD BARELY JUSTIFY THE COST AT 26.99 celebrity has lost their mind
  3. What a nightmare, sorry hope you are able to get something else at a reasonable price. Makes me question dealing with vt
  4. Ty for your reply. I was thinking that would be the case, unfortunately lol
  5. My question is sooooo very specific, I am hoping you might know the answer. I MUST purchase celebrity (aon) insurance (must have cfar, put deposit jan 2023, cruise nov 2024, Not medicare age yet, so 25k medical should be enough) I would normally wait until til the day before final payment to add the insurance. But as we age and I read about preexisting conditions (we have none NOW) and the look back time-frame is 60 days. I am considering adding insurance Now; 4 months before final payment just in case some medial thing arises. My question is this.... usually travel insurance is nonrefundable (hence the usual, buy the day before final payment) if I add celebrity's travel insurance and decide to cancel the cruise before final payment.....would the insurance be deducted from my deposit refund??? I know others will say.... ask celebrity or aon BUT they have reason to tell me what I want to hear Thank you for your time.
  6. For the most part, we do just the standard. There are always some workers who deserve more and some that deserve zero. So we like the standard daily gratitude that use to be included (which you actually paid in higher Rates, but we now pay onboard)and so they can figure it out themselves.
  7. Hopefully this will help you. In January we had the complete opposite experience. We are both rather tall i am almost 5' 10" and my dh is taller. We booked a precruise hotel with Marriott. Bed was soooo low to the ground bc it was a thin mattress on a platform. We left hotel went 20 minutes away (we had our car, cruise was in galveston) to a different brand but still a Marriott, checked in and 😡 platform bed AGAIN. didn't leave as this was second time we'd paid, 1st refused to refund money. >>> 2nd Marriott said.... ALL Marriott now have low platform beds So Marriott is a never again for us.
  8. Interesting that she applied for shareholder benefit a week after booking, I always fret and mark my calendar for 3 weeks before the cruise. I had no idea I could simply do it, and check it off my list so far in advance Thank you
  9. We just did a royal cruise with the non alcoholic package, we don't drink soda (just Bottled water, coffee and juice) and in order to make the math work we had to have 13 drinks between the 2 of us a day.(which wasn't a problem because of the following) One huge bright spot was the spa cafe, we often had late afternoon smoothies and grabbed a bottle of minute maid apple juice for me to enjoy in the room later. BUT... I see apex's spa cafe is only open 7-10am and noon-2pm > question 1, does celebrity (apex) have bottled juice? > question 2, where can I get it other than spa cafe? >>> my intention is to Not have to run get a juice before 2pm or store just a glass of juice in my fridge > question 3, can you simply order a strawberry banana smoothie from the spa cafe or only there menu smoothies? Thank you for any replies and advice.
  10. If you are comparing uber prices to something, I found it helpful to get the uber estimate at the same time of day and day of the week we are actually there. Example flight lands at 4pm Miami time on a Friday... I did estimate on a Friday 3pm my time because, it will vary and make a big difference.
  11. Actually it's bc we can fly nonstop AA from New Orleans to mia at much better times ...than our other 2 nonstop options into/out of FLL (southwest and jetblue)
  12. I am flying into mia and sailing from port everglades later this year. I did a bit of research and landed on this.... The different plans for arrival then departure... We will arrive mid day and want to get to ft Lauderdale hotel quickly so surprisingly we are going with larrys limo they are the same price as uber xl and a SET price no surge pricing etc. When we disembark we have a late afternoon flight and are in no big hurry, so we will get uber to trirail station, it is FAR more involved... uber, waiting at train station, lugging bags on to train, at mia transfer to people mover to the actual airport, I watched a youtube.com video and decided it was TOO much hubbub for before we cruise... The savings from the post cruise will more than pay for thestep up to Larry limo vs small uber PRE cruise
  13. Does anyone know if the bathroom outlet will stay on when the bathroom light is off? (For a nightlight)
