Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I don't know about being able to eat in the main dining room, but you do have access to the Aurea deck. At least that was my experience on the Seaside. You walked out of the YC pool area straight into the Aurea area so that would be convenient in your case. I hope you have a great cruise!
  2. I sailed Spirit in January and loved her. My favorite Carnival ship out of the three I've been on. But I think it had the worst Serenity area. I think the fact that it is located on the lido deck next to the buffet just meant crowds would naturally spill out there and they were loud and obnoxious. Wasn't serene at all, at least on the cruise I was on. But aside from that, by far it was my favorite Carnival ship. Tons of space, never had a problem getting a deck chair (except in Serenity), staff was great, shows were good, dining room was nice. I would love to sail the Spirit again!
  3. When we checked in at the port for our cruise on the Spirit, we were told our suite would be ready as soon as we boarded (we had a 10 or 10:30 arrival appointment) and lo and behold, it was ready as soon as we got on the ship and our sign and sail cards were there waiting for us.
  4. They have them at the Sky Box sports bar, too. At least they did on the Spirit last week.
  5. I was just on the Spirit last week. You'll love it. I wasn't sure about an older ship, but everyone raves about Spirit so I gave it a try. (We also got an AMAZING once-in-a-lifetime price). You never feel crowded, and the staff was great. I wrote a review but haven't posted it yet. We were surprised how much we enjoyed the food (if anything I thought my chocolate melting cake was too melted, never overcooked LOL). The violinists and other live entertaiment played in venues all over the ship and didn't conflict with dinner. We did anytime dining but they worked to put us in the same area each night so the staff knew us by name and took great care of us. The 80s Playlist show was awesome, the others were just ok. Just be aware of that. Also, I am also part of a same-sex couple and my husband and I never felt anything but welcomed by everyone, staff and passengers. I hope you have the same experience.
  6. Not sure about Michaels, but the Soul Play classes are up and running on the Spirit.
  7. 4228 happens to be MY cabin too! Except I'm on the Spirit, not the Pride. Since they're sister ships, if you have any questions about the suite I'll try to answer them when I'm on board. I took one look at that wrap-around balcony and I couldn't resist!
  8. I'm in a suite in just over a week. If you hold on to both boarding passes "to make sure he doesn't lose his," you should be fine. The BP has priority in red on the top left, but like you said you could pass that off as FTTF. The only spot on the BP that gives it away is on the top right-hand side, under a bar code, is your VIFP number in small type, and under that it says "Category: Suite" with Suite in Bold. But it's in a 10 or 12-point font. It doesn't really stand out unless you're looking for it. Can confirm what others said, your luggage tag will say Priority, but it won't say Suite
  9. This is a great review. You don't see many reviewing the Spirit (I'm boarding the Spirit in January!) so I'm enjoying every word. Thank you!
  10. I'll be getting off the Spirit when you're embarking. We'll try to leave her in good condition for your trip!
  11. I love The Love Boat more than anyone, but why would they use an icon of a Princess ship on Carnival? I agree, choosing Cassidy was perfect.
  12. I work at a university. By May 4 we're in reading period before finals. You're clear of Spring Break by then!
  13. I like this proposal. Where do I sign up! 🙂
