Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I will have to watch the walkthrough video to confirm, but someone posted on FB that they were not happy to find that all Sanctuary seats on the Sun are .... in the sun. I want shade 100% of the time so will be quite disappointed if I can't have a seat under cover somewhere for whatever the price may be.
  2. They send me some pretty fantastic offers but I always have to add $120 per day to the price because I really don't think it's worth sailing without a package these days. But the longer cruises just get so expensive without much return. I am sticking with 7 day trips for now to get the most for my money.
  3. The old rule still applies (more so, it seems) to the new packages - The longer the cruise and the more ports, the less valuable the package.
  4. Exactly! That's a huge change from when I was a kid and visited Canada; I remember people smoking while waiting for elevators at our hotel. America had already banned smoking indoors but we had culture shock that Canada was behind the times. More recently, while staying in Vancouver before a cruise, I was surprised to see so many people smoking marijuana while walking outside. Again, it had already been legalized in my state (Washington) but we still didn't (don't) have people doing it out in public.
  5. I trust you were able to deduce my point from my apparently flawed commentary. Cheers! (CCL is the ticker symbol.)
  6. Correct - we were told the only thing they could serve us without charge was water. They will sell you a soda and tell you that the $25 onboard credit for the "inconvenience" of sailing out of Galveston should make up for it. I am honestly surprised they haven't changed this policy since November when I was onboard. I have been on many sailings out of Galveston on RC and can confirm that the drink packages work from the moment of boarding - they do have a limited menu which is what Texas law does actually stipulate. Princess has made up their own rules, that don't even align with what their parent company CCL does in the same waters.
  7. I made the video you're referring to and thank you for grasping what most people don't - my main issue was with not being allowed to use the package for soda. Not that they were charging for liquor. Texas liquor laws do not apply to non-alcoholic beverages.
  8. Don posted a Video on his YouTube channel saying he was supposed to be on the inaugural sailing and there was this interesting exchange in the comments:
  9. I have never lost the cost of a cruise while gambling onboard, I think they offer much better deals to people who do. For the record - points are issued based on play, not losses.
  10. No, it's real. They just sold out of the interior cabins on the sailing I wanted. The other cruises from the email are showing at the price offered in the email.
  11. I am moving on from the Sun offer to others and the Iberian is still showing as available. I guess people snapped up those interior cabins on the Sun very quickly - not surprising!
  12. Thank you - I will call the casino in the AM....I don't think there will be any sleep between now and then!
  13. It's only been MINUTES since I got the email...dang!
  14. I'm one of those "young people" who trusts legitimate email addresses....
