Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Well, that isn't hard to do. Sorrentos is terrible pizza. And yes, please continue! I enjoy the comparisons.
  2. Bingo! Will you even make a 1 pm Carnival shuttle if you land at 12:45? Maybe, maybe not. If you are seated right at the front of the plane, aren't checking luggage, and you don't stop to use the restroom in the airport, then maybe. But that assumes you actually land at 12:45 and are allowed to immediately deplane.
  3. My parents have never used an accessible cabin, but my mom rents a scooter for cruises. As long as it fits, it's fine. Accessible cabins have more space, though.
  4. We have eaten at Big Chicken on land before, so we were super excited that it will be on the ship we're cruising on this summer! Love Shaq's chicken!
  5. I keep hearing about how Carnival's customer base are the booze cruisers, especially on the short cruises. But I saw way more and way rowdier drunks on my one Royal cruise (which was a 7-day) than on either of my Carnival short cruises (a 3-day and a 4-day). Obviously anecdotal, but hey. For us, we found that we prefer the food on Carnival and prefer the pricing on Carnival. Royal does beat Carnival when it comes to entertainment, but my kids already live at the ice rink at home (figure skater and hockey player), so the idea of skating on a cruise ship holds no appeal at all. (And if anything is a drawback because you're required to wear a helmet and can only skate in a predetermined path)
  6. Which is why when I've done YTD with food allergies, they've allowed us to make a standing reservation assigned to the same waitstaff every night. I simply went to the maitre d' on the first day and told them our preferred time, and they assigned a particular table as thought it was Set Dining, but it was during the YTD hours. Best of both worlds.
  7. My condolences for your loss. If you look at the original posts talking about refunds, those were made in March 2020 - in other words, when the world shut down and no cruises were happening. I do not believe that refunds are an option anymore, only future cruise credit.
  8. Thank you! The girls are 14 (this is their reward for finishing middle school and moving on to high school), so I guess it would be "Circle C" instead of Camp Ocean, if you happen to have those schedules.
  9. Thanks, this is helpful! We literally JUST tonight decided to switch our Cabo cruise to this one instead for our Girl Scout trip. So I'm enjoying following along since we'll be on Radiance for the Catalina 4-day itinerary in June. Would you mind posting the Fun Times if you have them?
  10. I guess whoever wants to get off the ship in Ensenada will do so, and whoever wants to stay on the ship will do so. I'm so done.
  11. Came back here to update: I happen to agree with all of you, and felt making a change was wholly unnecessary, but the faction that wanted to switch gained enough traction that more people decided it was unsafe to go to Mexico. We didn't have the budget to switch to Bahamas due to the flight, plus it would entail going into the next work week (which was a no-go for several parents), so a compromise was made to switch to a Baja cruise going to Catalina Island instead. It would still allow us to drive, making the "we don't want to fly" crowd happy. It still occurs within the same week, making the crowd that can't take that next Monday off from work happy. And it has a port call in the US (Catalina) making the "we won't get off the ship in Mexico" crowd happy. It's certainly not the ideal compromise, since it still goes to Ensenada regardless, and now we lose Cabo. But I just didn't want to deal with it anymore. Whatever. I'm calling travel agent tomorrow. I am so tired. Cookie season just ended, and everything comes due at the same time. (I am a law professor, and have a ton of exams to grade tomorrow) Final payment date is March 16, so I guess we'll just go ahead and pay the balance when I make our change.
