Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. They will argue over anything. Clip it to your dress, hang it on your dress, glue it to your dress, tape it to your dress, tie it to your dress, staple it to your dress, crank it up your dress, retired it to your dress, better yet, or simply STICK it in your dress.
  2. Another post concerning the Breakaway has the haven staff moving loungers out of the pool area and adding tables to accommodate restaurant seating. Is this typical?
  3. Out of curiosity I looked at your dates on cruise dot com. Looks like lots of cabins available to me considering how close the departure is. 15 club balcony open with those numbers repeated in other categories.
  4. I’ve asked several times to have them replace our complimentary “champagne” or whatever it is with something nonalcoholic. They so far they have never been able to figure that out. They did have the haven butler put some tomato juice in the fridge which he promptly spilled all over the floor turning our suite into a crime scene.
  5. Additionally, that deceleration lane seems awfully short for a 10 story fall. I hope the engineers calculated the terminal velocity of the average corn fed American after he/she’s been pushed up to the omelet station all morning and topped it off with three ice cream cones otherwise that lobotomy someone wanted will become yet another “free at sea” perk.
  6. Is it possible that those aren’t water slides at all but rather a newly designed shaft to spit haven guests to the head of the disembarkation line?
  7. I appreciate the time you took to respond politely, thoroughly, thoughtfully, sincerely and without kicking up a petty sandstorm. Perhaps I’ll look to you for additional wisdom going forward. Thanks.
  8. Thanks. Looks like it’s essentially on the same rails as your historic Joy in May, 38@80. They assigned my perfectly suitable mid ship GTY balcony almost 100 days out which led me to believe perhaps availability was particularly high.
  9. I like the cruise dot com. It currently shows the following haven availability as HE: 11, H9:2, HG:6, HF:4, HC:1, HB:1, H6:7, H5:5, H2:1. In your experience would you say the haven is “selling well” for 80 days out or lagging? Sounds like you have studied these trends in the past maybe. Thanks. I full understand you likely don’t own a crystal ball, just your thoughts from experience.
  10. Thanks. All inventory shows “available “ but it’s 80 days out. Haven prices have been dropping but are still nowhere near what I’m comfortable with. Free at sea (for a fee) other than maybe internet holds no value for me at platinum. We don’t drink and get some complimentary meals. Appreciate the input.
  11. Thanks. I don’t see the “let’s get you upgraded” option on the laptop and the invitation isn’t in messages. Maybe if I try and remember my email password and access it through that. I don’t use the laptop for email. Anyway, COULD it be generalized that a bid of slightly greater than 2x the min bid (double the min bid) would gage as “fair or good” ? I see lots of folks suggesting they bid and succeed at min or very slightly plus. I’m willing to be somewhat aggressive but the reality is there is absolutely nothing that NCL or anyone else could possibly do for me over a 15 day period that would justify, in my mind and haven experience, spending 16k plus. If the haven menu stays the same over the period, the value for me is diminished even further. Maybe they modify the menu on extended voyages? Additionally, are there any booking engines outside NCL to gage occupancy? NCL is relentless with their “finish booking your cruise” emails and I’m not 100% sure they actually display all available cabins .
  12. How do I get to this particular format of the upgrade program. I can get to it on my iPhone through the app but don’t see the option or offer once logged in to my account on a laptop. The link on the iPhone doesn’t gage (colored pointer) the strength of the bid.
  13. Anyone see the segment on GMA (I think) with Journalist Steve Hartmans two young children? They are behind a movement called kindness 101. Two of the most beautiful, polite, articulate, well behaved children I’ve seen in a long time. We’ve fortunately only had two cruises where poorly behaved children negatively impacted our experience. Both originated out of the same port, off the mainland. Vowed never to step foot there again.... ever!
  14. We did our standard exercise circuits on deck 7, promenade, on the Gem numerous times and never saw another soul. It was like a ghost ship. On the joy I had the haven courtyard, pool and hot tub to myself for hours, multiple times. We loved it.
