Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Will anyone think of the barrel chairs?!?!?!
  2. NGL, I'd rather play the video games than the slots. Hope it's open to all ages!
  3. they're saying on the city's website that it is charred but if the roots are healthy it can grow back: https://www.mauiinformationguide.com/maui-fire.php
  4. I absolutely LOVE cruising in an aft balcony!! Fantastic view of both sides, which was a plus on our Panama Canal trip. Smooth as glass. Have not had a forward cabin, but everyone I know who has had one has said considerably more motion can be felt up there. ~Kathryn
  5. The medallions are great keepsakes, they're magnets. I have mine on my fridge. My old cruise cards? Have no idea where those things ended up, even though I intended to keep them.
  6. I would never sail the Island again. We were on her post-retrofit for a Panama Canal full transit. To be fair, this was in the "before times" so she was full, but it was the most crowded and unpleasant cruise I've been on. I've also been on Coral, Island's sister ship, and would 100% book on Coral again. I will never book Island again unless it's a must-do bucket list cruise and Island is the last ship ever to do it. Add on top that the cruise director was the assistant CD on our Hawaii cruise on Star Princess a few years before, and is the WORST CD in my opinion. My mom and I were in an aft balcony, one of the retro-fitted cabins. The cabin was fine, but the lack of public spaces meant that there were fewer places for people to go when the weather was bad.
  7. and yet, everyone here is using the internet to post about it. Trust me, if I want to find out about you, most likely I will and it ain't the medallion net's fault. How many of us have passports, credit cards, driver's licenses, smart phones.......
  8. Hi! The Memorial has had to do more infrastructure repairs to the memorial, which is a floating dock. The Navy operates the shuttles in concert with the park. According to the Park's website (https://www.nps.gov/perl/planyourvisit/conditions.htm) they have resumed shuttles to the USS ARIZONA as of today. However, the tour operator most likely was unable to get the tickets in advance like they usually do. As with all NPS sites that require entry tickets, you can reserve your tickets on Recreation.gov: https://www.recreation.gov/ticket/233338/ticket/16 Follow the park on social media (Twitter and Facebook are the best for the most up-to-the minute info) as you plan your trip. https://twitter.com/PearlHarborNPS Also note they don't have any potable water at the moment, due to a water main issue on base. Your friendly NPS Park Ranger, Blondee419
  9. No sofa in the aft balcony in 2019 on Island thru the Panama Canal.
  10. When travelling with my mom, we are loyal to Princess, and select cruises based on itinerary. Princess is just the right speed and general atmosphere, excursions, etc. for us. They also have smaller ships, which is nice. I did RC with my friends for our 40th birthday year, and it was a younger crowd. We also were going to party, not so much escape and visit different/new to us ports. On RC we did the shows, the water slides, etc., which Princess doesn't tend to have comparable offerings for. Enjoy whichever ship you end up on!
  11. OR, vendor could advertise one price that is 20% more than what they'd normally charge, and offer a 20% discount when using cash or card?
