Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Thank you folks. Maybe I was just missing it on the deck plans.
  2. Is there a coffee bar on the Vista? They typically have hot an cold coffee as well as a few wonderful desserts you can buy and we frequent it nearly every evening or morning. Seems like we have had one on every ship we have sailed, but I cannot find it on the deck plans for the Vista. Typically, it's on either 3, 4, or 5
  3. Thanks folks. I felt pretty sure he could, but wanted to be sure. I do remember reading something about Mexico. We will be going to Aruba and Curacao.
  4. My grandson (an adult) is going with us next year on his first cruise. He does VAPE at home, and I'm just trying to find out if he can do so on the ships in the regular smoking areas. Not vaping marijuana - just a vape as opposed to a cigarette.
  5. We are not bringing our vehicle. We are coming in a day ahead. Should be in around 10:30 am on Friday, cruise begins on Saturday. I haven't used uber, do we wait until we arrive to contact them?
  6. We will be taking our next cruise from Port Canaveral. To get there, we are coming from Richmond to Orlando via Amtrak. Any suggestions on the best way to get from the Amtrak station to Cocoa Beach to our hotel? There will be 5 of us and arriving late morning. We haven't chosen a hotel yet, but it will be in Cocoa Beach.
  7. Thank you all so much. My main concern was if it was going to be an issue getting on the ship with the scattering tube. WE are going by Amtrak (only 3 hours away) so we should not have any screening issue. I am now convinced the carry on is the best way to go. Again, my thanks.
  8. I will be taking my late husband's ashes onboard soon to be scattered, but could use some advice. I have a scattering tube, and while it is not huge, 4 x89 cylinder, I'm trying to decide if it should be placed in my suitcase and delivered, or should I carry it in my backpack that will be carried in with me. It's a little heavier than I expected, so I am leaning toward the suitcase, but I don't know if it will be something that will cause them to decide they need to open the suitcase for inspection. It's not metal - but totally biodegradable material. And it will take a sizeable space in my suitcase. Any of you that have had experience with this, I would appreciate your input. Thank you
  9. Thanks folks. I thought that it was done thru the website, as it says you can "add companions" by using their email address, but that doesn't seem to be working. I'll give them a call.
  10. We have several cabins reserved for a new booking, and I want to add them as "companions" for dinner, etc. I've tried adding email addresses as it shows on the "Order Detail Page" - but the email is not going through to the various people. I "think" this is how I did is before, but it's been awhile and I thought maybe they have changed how it works. Am I missing something?
  11. Whike I am looking at a new cruise, several of the "offers" on their website actually show a 1/31/2023 expiration. Do I assume they are no longer valid, or have they been extended?
  12. Thanks again for all the suggestions and clearing up some issues. I will have a credit card with me (just in case) - but I do not intend to use it unless absolutely necessary. We each have a very small amount of credit from when we booked our cruise. (I think it's $25 each) and we have prepaid our tips, so that will not eat up our account. A couple of our cruises, they actually took our cash when we checked in. But typically, they do not. It's only a 5 day cruise, and I don't use a lot of cash. An occasional drink, specialty coffee and a little in the casino each day. We'll talk it over and decide, but your replies have verified some things for me. So thank you very much
  13. I don't use Credit Cards - I recently lost my husband, so I'm trying to keep my life as simple as possible, and that means I don't charge things. By using cash, I don't tend to "over spend". My friend is going on her first cruise, so while I am Platinum and can use the faster/shorter line, I assume she cannot, even though we are roommates. But if we can do it through the Kiosk if necessary, then that is good news. Thanks for the advice
  14. I typically set up my account as a Cash account, as I do not care to tie my ship account to my home accounts or credit cards. But that means I have to fight the crowd when I get on the ship to put cash on my account as soon as possible. I am not sure how the "Cruise Cash" works. If I put on, let's say $50, to get me started and then later add more cash, will they use the "cruise cash" first? I know that part is not refundable. But if I end up putting more on my account than i need, I would like to know that I can get it back. Also, there are two of us in the cabin, with separate accounts (both using cash accounts). Can I assume that if it's done from MY computer and my sign in, that it would go to my account. And likewise, if she wants some on hers, she needs to go to the carnival site and do the same?
  15. I'm due to check in at midnight tonight. While I do have a passport, the person going with me is on her first cruise and will be using her birth certificate. Will we need any particular information from THAT for her? My intention is to, at the very least, get our check-in times done tonight - and go back probably in the morning and complete the rest.
