Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. They didn't have that on the Discover inside cabin and we were keeping the bathroom light on and the door ajar. We just want to make sure we don't bump into something we are not familiar with. Hopefully these lights won't be a nuisance for us.
  2. Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences on this cruise. DH and I will be doing a back-to-back cruise in February on the Emerald. I have to say that calling slices of ham as pork loin on our last cruise on the Discovery a month ago was surprising. I really expected a white meat instead of slices of ham. Still edible, just surprising. I will keep watching! It looks wonderful so far!
  3. Well talked with our PVP and she said yes, the back-to-back can be done and recalled that the screen had told her it couldn't be done but now it can. Human error and now I've learned more than I wanted about the PVSA ! Thanks all 🙂
  4. Thank you all. Once my PVP gets back to me I will update what I was told. Crossing fingers its a go 🙂
  5. We tried to book the following back-to-back and were told that we could not do it because of the PVSA. First cruise is called Circle the Carribean from Ft. Lauderdale to many islands including Curacao which I understand that is a distant foreign port if I read the PVSA correctly. It will return to Ft. Lauderdale. We wanted to do a back-to-back staying on the same ship through the Panama Canal from Ft. Lauderdale to Los Angeles. We were told that the first cruise did not quality so we could not take the second cruise. Not trying to beat a dead horse, just confused. Put in a question to my PVP and hopefully will have an answer.
  6. Thank you all for the answers. I was pretty sure I knew the answer however was crossing fingers that I could do this. We won't be able to purchase any FCD's until November. The cruises we are looking into are in Feb & March 2024. Have a great day!
  7. I have put in a question to my PVP and thought perhaps I could get some insight before she answers me. I told her no rush, but I hope I hear something this week. My question is: If we put down a cash deposit on a cruise however later purchase FCD's, can we apply the FCD's and receive the benefits from it as well? Has anyone done this? Thanks!
  8. Hubby has the dirty banana. I have either a Pina Colada or a Margarita. Last Princess cruise I had the Key Lime Pie martini, and I must say that out of 3 different bartenders - w were pretty good and 1 was average.
  9. Thank you for doing this review. We are going on the Breakaway at the end of January for the Vloggers cruise. You gave a lot of good information for people like us who have not experienced NCL yet. Again, thank you!
  10. We have done 1 Disney cruise (this got us wanting to do it again). Princess, we have done 9 sailings with. Last cruise was with Carnival. Next cruise is with NCL and then after that RCL. My hubby retired 1 1/2 years ago and I hopefully will be retired in mid-January. We want to try as many different cruise lines as possible that we can. Our last cruise with Princess, last April, left us feeling like we were watching reruns on food and entertainment. This pushed us to try others. I have to say that we did try Carnival and we did not feel that it was a good fit. Crowded, loud running children, food selection was "just okay". I do have to say that the fun squad was full of energy and the CD was great. Went to two production shows and again "just okay". We are looking forward to the NCL cruise out of New Orleans in January. But it too will be under scrutiny as we compare. I am very hopeful that it may be in the top list. Still to be booked: HAL, MSC, Celebrity and I am sure more.
  11. Mixed shots like Duck Fart? I can understand that because it's a layered shot and time consuming to make.
  12. Well, if they are going to return to the old muster regime, that must mean that those little sheets of paper saying we were in good health will return as well. Gosh I hope not 😉
  13. So, if I understand what was stated: Any cocktail that has more than 1 shot (ounce) of alcohol is not honored with the Premium beverage package. Hmmm... smells like $$$ reduction. Good think I like to order a shot of Fireball with a coke back.
  14. @JamieLogicalthank you so much for sharing your experiences. DH and I will be newbies with NCL and on the Breakaway in January and you gave me some insight of what to expect and what to try. Thanks!!
  15. Not scared at all. We have done many cruises to Mexico or had stops in Mexico through cruising. Like anytime you take a vacation to somewhere you are not familiar with caution and awareness of your surroundings is important. We are cruising for the first time on Carnival Panorama to Mexican Riveria in 10 days and I am actually more concerned about the incidents that can happen on the cruise ship. 🥳 We may or may not get off the ship because of the many times we have stopped in those cities.
