Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Hi all....don't want this to get into a discussion to tip or not to tip, or how to tip...that's all been hashed out for sure. Just asking about adding pre paid gratuities to my booking ( and yes I want to beat the increase) . Do I just have to add it to the booking and make the additional payment when the final payment comes due? Or do I need to pay the gratuities charge when I add it to the booking? Normally hand out extra cash anyway....this way I can give what would have been the increase to person or people that f my choice. Thanks for any help
  2. Have not played much blackjack. Will be going on a Carnival cruise soon . Is there any problem with using a strategy card at the table? Does the casino care?
  3. My wife and I will be on this cruise also. If Bermuda's requirements remain the same, I would be surprised if we still port there. Besides the cost and logistics of Carnival testing 2700 passengers, how many asymptomatic cases might they find? And then the issues onboard that would arise with that. I think they would prefer to just get to Tampa without asking for that kind of headache. Unless they are somehow financially obligated to port in Bermuda. I just hope if there is going to be an itinerary change, they let us know asap. Hate to have to pay the $40 and then not go there. I'm sure there wouldn't be any refund coming from the government of Bermuda. Sometimes it's just fun to speculate 😃
  4. Second the whale watching and Mendenhall glacier tour. We saw sea otters, humpback whales, killer whales, and of course , bald eagles. Salmon swimming upstream at the park where the trail to the glacier is. Wasn't lucky enough to see bears there. And , as always, much cheaper to do this on a private tour than with Carnival
  5. How about P&D get bacon every day!!😄
  6. We had geoblue coverage for a trip to Aruba in 2020. I was in a bike accident and broke my collarbone. Geoblue gave excellent customer service . We contacted them the day of the accident and started the process. I waited until we returned home to file the claim and everything was handled efficiently. Total bill came to $1700. Geoblue paid with no hassle. Just from our experience, we would highly recommend.
  7. Have and Ultra offer from the casino. Haven't been able to find any recent posts about what kind of gifts anyone has received. We have another casino offer that is $150 pp cheaper and also with DOU in the casino. For those of you that have booked an Ultra cruise, do the gifts make up for $300 difference ? I realize that there may be a couple extra parties involved, but that wouldn't really figure into our decision making. Thanks
  8. Our stop in Malaga is scheduled to be from 8:00 - 6:00. Interested in doing a Caminito del Rey tour. Wondering if anyone has done this as an excursion from a ship ( private or ship based) . It is not offered as an excursion through Carnival at this time. If we were to do a private excursion, I'm a little concerned about time constraints. Seems that none leave directly from the cruise port. So, it would involve a taxi or some other means of transport before and after the tour. Any and all info and thoughts would be appreciated.
