Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Trieste is absolutely lovely, although I might be biased because my mother-in-law grew up there. There are tons of museums, it's very walkable. Be sure to go to San Guisto and Miramare Castle!
  2. Everyone recovers differently, but 6.5 weeks post-surgery should be quite doable, especially if you keep up with PT before the trip. I've had both knees replaced and I have to say it has been life-changing and I'm so glad I did it! Good luck with your surgery!!
  3. We were on Zaandam last month in an outside cabin on deck 2. The shower was very nice. There were grab bars and a glass door. Also a small lip to step over to get into the shower (2-3" maybe).
  4. Thanks for the quick responses. I did love the view from the thermal suite on the Amsterdam, but really liked the hydropool on the Zuiderdam and Oosterdam. Trying to decide whether to buy a thermal suite pass for our upcoming cruise. Decisions, decisions ... such a first world problem!!
  5. Does the thermal suite on the Zaandam have the larger "therapy pool" like the one on the Zuiderdam and Oosterdam or is it the hot tub size like on the old Amsterdam, etc.? Thanks!!
  6. I just got the notification. I'm sure it will still be a great cruise, and I'm not really surprised about Bar Harbor since I have been reading that they didn't want cruise ships. Looking forward to going to Portland as I haven't been there before. Dh isn't thrilled about another sea day.
  7. Thanks for your prompt responses. Good info to know! We were looking forward to the benefits of purchasing stock. Guess we'll just have to plan another cruise so we can use it! LOL
  8. We purchased 100 shares of CCL stock last year and I submitted documentation to HAL for on board credit on our upcoming cruise. I got the following response: "Unfortunately, we are unable to apply the shareholder benefit due to the fare your reservation is booked under. The shareholder benefit is not combinable with reduced-rate promotions or guests traveling under an employee, interline, or friend and family type fares." Has this always been the case or is this something new? BTW .. I tried faxing documentation but the phone line was never answered. I e-mailed the documentation and had a response in a few hours that my e-mail was received and then the response about half a day later. That's a faster response than I expected. Thanks!
  9. I love reading world cruise blogs. Looking forward to reading yours!
  10. We reserved and paid in advance for Rudi's for our Jan 2022 cruise on the Zuiderdam, and it was delightful! Reserved and paid for one of the two listed available dates on our Jun 2022 cruise on Oosterdam. When dining in the Pinnacle one night, we were told that Rudi's would not be available. Manager said he was hoping it would be available on the next cruise. Very disappointing. Our account was credited promptly.
  11. OK, so if I book the "free" inside cabin, I may or may not get an offer to upgrade at some point?
  12. I got the e-mail and have been looking at the listed cruises. For those of you who booked and upgraded, were you able to do that at the time of booking? The e-mail says free inside cabin, but you can book another cabin type by paying an upgrade fee?
  13. No visa required to visit Ephesus on our Oosterdam cruise in June/July.
  14. Trieste is a lovely city with lots to see and do. We spent 5 days there before our cruise and didn't run out of things to do. We spent two days in Venice after our cruise. Granted, not everyone has extra days on each end of a cruise but, if you do, Trieste is very enjoyable.
  15. Ahh ... I get that now. I guess it wasn't clear and I just "assumed" she let medical staff know. Good point!
