Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Our cabin is very close to yours. No noise from above at all. We always sleep with a white noise machine as well. Serenity area is on two decks. I’ve only been on deck 12. All the loungers are in the sun. There are a handful of two person clam shells on the very front of the ship around the corner from the serenity area. In the area by the bar, there are regular chairs and also outdoor sectionals.
  2. Hi all! Just thought I would share a couple things since I had so many questions answered on here prior to my cruise. We are in an inside cabin on deck nine. It is literally literally the size of a shoebox, 😂lol. But honestly, it’s pretty livable. And the room sure gets dark at night…we’ve been sleeping later than normal! I haven’t sailed in an inside cabin since I was 18, (I’m 47 now) and I would do it again, especially at the super cheap last-minute Casino rate that we got. Speaking of the casino, it was brutal in there last night. We play blackjack and we got wiped out pretty fast. But today is a new day! 🤑 The food. We are foodies. The decline in the quality of food in the dining room is noticeable, and that is putting it nicely. My husband got prime rib last night, and it was truly inedible. I got rack of lamb from the steakhouse selections. I ordered it medium rare. The first time it came out well done, the second time it came out literally baaing. It was raw. They took it off the bill. Crème brûlée awful, melting cake not melty but instead rather dense. A couple of items were actually pretty good. The crawfish pasta and the carpaccio, both off of the menu, I really enjoyed. Steakhouse. Generally good but everything was underseasoned. Tuna tartare and crab risotto were standouts. Husbands NY strip was thin and sad, especially when paying a $49 cover charge. My filet and lobster was also very good. We also hit up bonsai sushi yesterday. Yum! The sashimi was nice and fresh, and the shrimp tempura roll was delicious. Hoping to get to Seafood Shack and Seaday brunch over the next few days. Internet is generally good. Was able to make Skype calls and stream some shows. Side note.. it appears Hulu and Netflix are blocked. Any questions, let me know. I’ll be back to share more later in the cruise. 😎
  3. Hi all, We are on the Freedom this coming Monday, and I was curious if these prices are still true at the Seafood Shack. A few other questions. Has anyone dined there on the Freedom recently? If so, you know if the oysters are gulf oysters, or they’re cold water oysters? Hoping for the latter. Is the quantity of lobster on the lobster BLTs equally as sparse as the lobster rolls? What had everyone enjoyed on the Freedom at the Seafood Shack recently? Thanks for any help! ☺️
  4. In case anyone is curious. I had been playing with booking one of these rooms for days. A few different sailings. It kept popping up and going away online. So I called the Casino line, and they were able to book me. No problem. Even though it was not available online at that moment. It was an upper and lower guarantee, though. But the agent was nice to put in the notes that we really prefer a regular inside cabin if possible. The next morning, we had a cabin assignment, and it was a Regular inside cabin on deck nine. Miracles do happen! Lol
  5. Any update on this? I’d love to see a menu, too. ☺️
  6. I am in the Tampa area. I get mostly offers out of FL but I get them for repo cruises from Europe as well as Out of Long Beach, Norfolk, Nola etc….
  7. My husband and I really enjoy the steakhouse, but these 2 ships don't have one. Has anyone had the Steakhouse Selections on either of these ships, and if so, how was the quality of the steak/lamb/lobster? Just wondering if the quality is the same on ships that don’t have an actually steakhouse. Thank you!
  8. Hi all. I keep seeing these “Last minute casino offers” pop up. They are offering an inside for $50 pp plus taxes and port fees, and giving a $100 Ob credit. But boy, they go in a matter of minutes. You have to be quick!! A question. Many of these offers are insides with an upper and lower birth. Not our preferred way to travel. Has anyone gotten one of these offers and been given something better?
  9. Hi all! We are cruising on the Regal Out of Galveston on November 10th. In checking pricing today, I noticed that our Premium Aft facing balcony had a price drop. And that mini suites dropped as well. My question, and I know it’s personal preference, but I’m having a hard time making up my mind. Would you take the mini suite over the premium aft balcony for the extra space. Or would you keep the aft balcony and smaller room for those wake views. FYI, mini suite is $160 more than the premium aft balcony. Thanks! 😎
  10. Quick question. We are looking Enchantment for a 5 night and would prob eat at chops 2 or 3 times. What is the current pricing/options for the Dining package on Enchantment? I’d also like to know if Filet and Lobster together is an option and what the cost is. TIA!
