Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. It will be on the app under entertainment - then movies/dances.
  2. I am not 100% certain but I thought that the 6 months expiration date from end of cruise was the requirement of some of the countries that RCI sails to and NOT an actual RCI requirement. Since you are headed to Canada and they don't care if your passport expires in 6 months or right after you get home it shouldn't be an issue.
  3. Wow - they obviously move the mini golf since I was onboard last. LOL! ANother thing to be careful of is the edging around the mini golf courses on all the RCI ships. We were on the Oasis about a year ago and playing at dusk and my wife didn't see the edging in the low light and proceeded to trip and break her hand and glasses.
  4. Agreed. My wife was clumsy playing mini gold on the Oasis and she tripped and broke her hand and glasses. We thought she was going to have to have surgery in Cozumel when we pulled in and that would have been VERY PRICEY. Fortunately I had trip insurance which would have covered it and the doctors on board decided that she could wait until we got home to have surgery. But you never know.
  5. As a FYI - submarines are also called boats. Have a great day.
  6. Stuff at Royals private islands are TERRIBLY OVERPRICED!! The water park at Coco Cay is currently at about $130 pp and the Zip Line on Labadee is basically $100 for 1 ride. And don't even start on any of the bungalows in either place. But yes, I think that the other excursions are wildly overpriced also.
  7. On my last cruise it was with some family members so we wanted to get a group photo on one of the dress up nights. One of our party paid for the photos and then just emailed everyone else a copy.
  8. I read that book prior to a trip through the canal back in 2017. It was interesting reading but VERY TOUGH reading. Lots of facts/details made it difficult to get through.
  9. Cruises through the Panama Canal may be SERIOUSLY restricted due to drought conditions in the Panama area. Since the locks depend upon water flow only to raise the ships priority is being given to cargo ships with a more pressing need to transit the locks vice a cruise ship full of sightseeing passengers. RCI has already cancelled several of their PC cruise and changed the itineraries to other locations.
  10. I think that Royal should just do the math and figure out how much everyone including the behind the scenes folks make from the "tips" if everyone paid and then increase their wages accordingly and get rid of the darn "gratuities" that are such a hot topic on any cruise board. People can still tip those front facing people additional if desired.
  11. Think of the ship as a giant teeter totter. As you get closer to the ends you feel more of the (pitching) up/down motion which is why people recommend that you get close to midships or the center of the teeter totter. If you can imagine a tall tree or flag pole blowing in the breeze you will notice that the top has more motion than the base. The is the same on the ship, as you go higher you will feel more of the rolling (side to side) motion than if your cabin is lower or closer to the base.
  12. We did the old locks back in 2017 on the Celebrity Infinity when we went from Miami to San Diego. It definitely was interesting and was on my mothers bucket list.
  13. I wouldn't be to concerned about the negative reviews to much. I was on the Oasis in Mar, 2022 with several family members and we were sailing at about 75% capacity. It didn't seem crowded at all. The only issues I had is that it seemed that they weren't fully staffed after the Covid restart and activities seemed to have very limited hours such as the carousal, zip line, Ultimate Abyss, Rock wall etc. Thye line for the flow rider was VERY long. The Aqua 80 show is NOT to be missed!!!
  14. If you don't have to sail on the biggest and newest ships you can find some semi reasonable prices.
