Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. My DH and I also do not drink much but get the package.My DH likes the convenience. Also having everything prepaid makes for a more enjoyable cruise. Unfortunate having the drink package also means you don’t worry about every drink and I tend to drink more. But on the plus side I do stay hydrated because I am not thinking about how much each water costs. So for us we’re paying for peace of mind.
  2. Eden has some shows at night. They are worth seeing. Go early it fills up fast.
  3. In Massachusetts April vacation is always the week of tax day. The private schools usually have 2 weeks off in March. And as a note I have had more problems with teenagers and college kids than with the little ones. So I usually try to avoid March which is when most northern colleges have their breaks.
  4. Had laundry on my last cruise. the bag was cloth, and easily held 30 items( mostly socks and underwear ) but my husbands shorts which are a heavy material and my skirts, pants and tee shirts, all fit and came back folded nicely. also as a hint. Lay your items on the bed and take a picture before loading bag. It helps if something is missing when it comes back.
  5. I think the foot stools depend on your cabin class. Mike was in aq and I was in concierge and we both had foot stools. But I don’t know if they were in just balconies. my DH and I spent a lot of time on our balcony ( I hate the crowds at the pool) and the chairs and footstools were comfortable.
  6. I was also on this cruise and agree with everything Mike981 said. The crew was amazing and the cruise was great. I too only saw the CD a couple of times. Once was the on the last night when they did a murder mystery ( not a true murder mystery more a funny comedy act) IT WAS THE FUNNIEST show I have seen in long time.If they offer it on your cruise go see it. kiwichick62. I was doing a back to back and they had us waiting in the Tuscan restaurant where a couple was waiting. They said their flight was at 4:00 so they trying hang around and boy did they politely but firmly requested they leave at 9:00
  7. On my last cruise on the apex I didn’t even get a bill to sign in the specialty restaurant. On the reflection we ate in the lawn club(my favorite) and we added a 20 tip to the bill. The 20 never was put on our account. And as stated above there is already an 18% gratuity added.
  8. Have done both and on the s class like the hump better. On m class is SV but I find the SV on the s class to be too small and too wide open. Also the sunset bar on the s class is a good substitute for the SV balcony. I spend a lot of time there.
  9. I too have questions. i can start a thread and reply but I notice others are quoting people and liking posts and adding links. I was hoping there was a tutorial somewhere.
  10. My DH and I were doing something on the app and he couldn’t see what I was seeing. Turned out he was holding his iPad vertical and I was holding mine horizontal. Sounds silly but once he rotated his he found what he was looking for.
  11. Last year we were on summit and we were staying at a Fort Lauderdale hotel. Our hotel had a free shuttle from FLL. But we also had a 3:00 check in. Since we didn’t want to be standing in the hotel lobby for hours, we booked the Everglades excursion and got dropped off at FLL. We then got our shuttle.There are tons of taxi at the airport and you get dropped off close to them. The Everglades excursion was fun and didn’t require a lot of walking and by the time we got to the hotel our room was ready. The excursion usually drops off at both airports.
  12. Retreat is group one. When we got off they were letting off 1-10. I would check with guest relations. They ask for your flight info so I think they let early flights off early. Good luck you should be fine.
  13. Just got off apex Nov 18. We had an 11:10 flight. We took a taxi ( they are lined up there. And are a flat 20 fee. They also have rideshare which tries to get you before the taxis. We did that one time and they make you wait until the van is full so walk past them to the taxis. also have cash which is faster than a credit card) We were in group 1 and did not walk our bags off. We were through security at the airport by 8:00. HOWEVER last year we were in the third group off in Fort Lauderdale and they had an issue with immigration and we didn’t get through immigration until 8:30. We once got to the Fort Lauderdale airport and the line at security and bag drop off was so long I almost missed a 1:00 flight. When you get on the ship talk to guest relations so they put you in an early group. They are usually pretty good about that.
  14. I booked a celebrity cruise last week on apex but asked the representative if I could book a rci and was told no problem.
  15. I didn’t think it was malice I thought it was a computer glitch.
