Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Thank you, I didn't think about that at the time.
  2. Does the shareholder OBC always get split between the passengers in the cabin? Mine is showing half to me and half to my cabin mate on the amenity confirmation.
  3. Recommend the 10 day. 5 days is too short unless that's your only option, plus only in Bermuda for one night. Canada/NE sailings typically have an older crowd, less kids.
  4. No smoking at the poker table, just like land based casinos. Since the Jewell is a midsized ship, poker may be hit or miss, depends on how many players are onboard that particular cruise. On the larger ships you're almost guaranteed a game ever night, but not on the smaller ships. Often games don't get going until 9-10pm.
  5. You're getting your cabin for free plus the $20/night per person admin fee, vs paying retail for the cabin. Every other charge mentioned above would be incurred if you paid retail for the cabin. You don't have to select the beverage package or the specialty dining which would avoid the gratuities on those. My recent cruise NY to Bermuda on the Joy was $1,800 pp retail for inside cabin. I was solo so only paid the admin fee of $140 for the week. Everyone pays port charges so that was $298. My total was $438 for one vs $2,098 retail to get on the ship. Everything else is a choice besides the daily hotel/surcharge of $20/night. I upgrade the $150 min. Wifi and bought third party travel insurance. You van use CruiseNext certificates as well.
  6. They do not count your seconds. The countdown clock you show is for unlimited Wi-Fi til the end of your cruise, tho the number is often incorrect. The system rounds up to the next minute for the by minute packages.
  7. Was on the Encore in Dec. 2022. Los Lobos - good Mexican food, tableside guacamole. Desserts aren't great unless you like Tres Leche. Cagneys - pretty good steaks, ok sides, great desserts - caramel cheesecake is fantastic if you have a sweet tooth. Teppanyaki - Good food and show, very loud though. Desserts choices are terrible in my opinion. Didn't try the others.
