Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Our sailing is this May….we are scheduled to dock at the Hiroshima Ujina Port - Passenger Terminal. In an Industrial area, 3 KM from city center.
  2. Thanks for the coffee bar menue! My daughter is a coffee girly & I’m all about the tea, we will have the regular drink pkg….will the coffee bar beverages be included with our pkg?
  3. We don’t drink either…preparing for our 10th Carnival cruise. We also cruise with Celebrity & Royal Caribbean, we really don’t see much of a diff (we don’t hang out at the night club or the bars on the ships & are usually in our room by 11:30). If you are really worried about any “rowdy party attitude”, don’t do short (3-4 day sailings).
  4. If you are meaning…Rio Secreto River & Caves, on the mainland near Playa del Carmen… it was the absolute best excursion we have ever taken. In a heartbeat, we would go again & again!
  5. We did the same excursion in May. I did contact the excursion supplier, since we too wanted to stay there longer. I was told that there are multiple busses going from ship & back through the day & that it would be fine if we wanted to take a later one back to the ship. We were told to confirm when we got on the bus & again at the “beach resort”. We did take the 8:30 bus (to give us the best choice of loungers), by 12:30 we were ready to head back…so I wasn’t able to confirm that a later return time would have worked.
  6. Thanks for catching that ! Every way that I tried looking up the actual company that runs the Edinburgh cruise ports, I was directed back to Cruise the Forth. I did email “Capital Cruising” & I hope to get a clear answer.
  7. Does anyone have any insight into this…? Carnival itinerary says the Legend will be in Edinburgh on Aug 7/24. Cruisemapper.com agrees with the Carnival agenda. Cruise the Forth (the company that operates the Edinburgh cruise ports), doesn’t have the Legend listed in their schedule. NOT AT ALL!…for any of the dates from start of cruise thru to the end of cruise. I emailed Cruise the Forth with this info, hoping for clarification. They agreed that the situation is confusing…”the port visit is on Cruise mapper, but not on their own posted schedule”. They also stated that when the Legend does visit, she usually is at the Newhaven tender port. I contacted Carnival (was transferred to the FUN shops & shore excursion dept), but they haven’t been notified of a port change. I want to buy Edinburgh castle tickets (non refundable), (doing a ship excursion isn’t what I want, I want more time than the excursion allows) but I also don’t want to throw away my $$. Amy thoughts?
  8. We booked a specific sailing with our regular PVP….it was a Casino offer. We didn’t know it at the time, but the special Casino Offer came with lots of gifts. Almost every day we had a surprise in our room….choc strawberries/plate of cookies/packing cubes/bucket hats/laundry-shoe bags….all with a note from the head casino host.
  9. Are these are included with the basic drink pkg? (First time with a drink pkg)
  10. We ask the travel agent / Customer Service to add them when we book.
  11. Your Travel Agent should have / could have booked that for you when you reserved your stateroom….if not, give them a call….I’ve always had that request at booking.
  12. Yes you can, order from the kids menue anytime..anywhere. With that in mind, if u are dining in a “pay venue”, I’m not sure if an adult can get child pricing-even if ordering from a child menue (we don’t travel with kids anymore).
  13. We’ve had great luck with privacy during My Time Dining, going early (5:30-6:00) & asking to sit along the railing overlooking the downstairs dining room. This only works if there is a 2 level dining room, of course.
