Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. In fact yes we did! Unknown to me, we booked an "Open" booking on board last year and we chose a cruise within the specified timeframe in that offer and obtained double points. A happy suprise.
  2. We're scheduled to go there on the Beyond on 11 Nov. If Celebrity docks, we'll go ashore. Last month we stopped in Nassau and some cruisers stayed on board due to the warnings. To each their own.
  3. On our last cruises on the Ascent (Feb 4-18) we did the "Go Green" and got the service but not the points. We should have received 40 points each week instead of 35 (for Aqua Class), but they gave us 75 for each week! I have decided not to point out that we didn't get our 40 points, until which time they ever correct it...
  4. Perhaps you were unknowingly excorcised. πŸ˜‡
  5. I have attached the posted list of locations and it is very large. We've done London, New York and San Fransisco and thought it was a great way to go. Thinking about using it on or Asian "Spice-Route" cruises next year (Tokyo to Mumbai). Thoughts?
  6. The last time I saw a laundromat on a cruise ship was on Oceania - good riddance (not to Oceania but to the laundromat experience)! Many unwritten rules and many sets of eyes on you to ensure they are followed, just like Seinfeld's Soup ***! On one cruise a comedian poked fun at it. Now we always have checked bags so we just bring enough clothing for the duration of the cruise. I'm happy that we now get weekly laundry as we're Elite status, which comes in handy.
  7. We were in Blu on Ascent from 4-18 Feb and had a completely different experience. "Huge" and "Noisy"? - hardly in our experience, maybe because we were having such a good time.
  8. We bought this at "Black Friday" prices even though we had the Premium Drink Package. We had fun, learned something, met some people and tried some wines available only by the bottle. We could have lingered afterwards and slurped up wine served to empty tables, which I did for one wine I liked - without remorse. We'd do it again. We were offered a "Premium Wine Tasting" and a "Champagne Wine Tasting" at ridiculous prices and declined.
  9. For us Blu is more about its smallness (and small lines = quick seating) and the service than the food, although several of the Blu exclusive dishes were good.
  10. You got there early! Smart move. There are five ships in port today, but on 7 Feb when we're there ,there will be seven including the massice Icon of the Seas, so we'll be there when it opens. P.S. The chicken wings are excellent!
  11. A real advantage of CC is that there is a huge searchable archive.
  12. My hobby is metal work and includes arc welding. I'm happy to hear there's a 220V outlet in each room.
