Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. We'll be on Jewel of the Seas in a few months in an Owners Suite and wanted to know from anyones experience if it's difficult to access the HDMI port on the wood encased swivel TV to hook up to our Ipad. We've never had any problems in Grand Suites in the past. Any info would greatly appreciated.
  2. Does anyone remember what brand of tv is on JOS? I want to check my universal remote codes for streaming.
  3. I got it 30% off prior to the Black Friday 40% off sale...which I cancelled and repurchased. Keep in mind what Merion_Mom said about the daily cost because my May sailing now has 45% off which is the exact same total cost of my 40% off Black Friday sale.
  4. I don't know if bed location is an issue, but I always book a suite with the left side of the bed closer to the sliding glass doors and the right side closer to the vanity. I sleep on the right side and DH won't be in my way when I'm doing my hair/make-up at the vanity. We're sailing on the Jewel in a few months in OS #1060 with this bed location.
  5. I bring my own shampoo & conditioner, but the ship water still slightly frizzes my hair. We’ll be on the Jewel in a few months in an Owner’s Suite and wondered if you get a bar of soap for the shower and bath sinks or liquid. We prefer a bar in the shower and liquid at the sinks. I’ll bring both if it’s not available. Thanks for any info.
  6. Hello and great review! I know this is after the fact, but did you notice if there were blue EQUAL sweetener packets available on your sailing? RCCL always offered them in the past; however, Celebrity discontinued them on our fall 2023 sailing. DH only likes Equal and I always travel with enough for pre-cruise hotels, but will bring more if JOS doesn't offer it. Thanks for any help!
  7. FYI: We're on Jewel this May and got 2 internet devices for $27 during Black Friday.
  8. We're sailing on JOS in late Spring in an OS and would appreciate it if you could post how crowded the Lounge is, I've read they limit the Pinnacles to 30 if there are too many onboard. It's been a quite a while since we sailed on JOS. Have a great cruise and look forward to your reporting.
  9. On our last suite cruise on Sky, we sent brand new crew socks that looked like they were 6 months old by the end of the cruise and nice womens Eddie Bauer t-shirts come back tie dyed looking. I've always handwashed my delicates, but on our next cruise I'll be doing all of our laundry in the laundry room even though we're Elite and sail in a suite. I've read on several threads that suites receive some complimentary laundry tokens.
  10. There is only a suite breakfast in Chops, but no suite lunch. Long ago on the Voyager class, suite guests could take their buffet lunch meal and sit in Giovanni's since it is located outside of the Windjammer. There have been so many complaints about the MDR food and MTD wait times, that we purchased the UDP. This upcoming cruise is itinerary driven since we're sailing the Artic Circle; otherwise, we wouldn't have booked JOS.
  11. We still sail on RCCL as D+, but not on the mega ships anymore after our last 2 Allure sailings. I wish RCCL would do what X did by carving out a portion of the MDR to create a Coastal Kitchen on the smaller ships. Now we purchase the Unlimited Dining Package when CK is not available. RCCL Grand and Owner's suites are still our favorite cabins of all the cruise lines.
  12. I forgot to note, that after cancellilng all of our cruises but one which we changed from Egypty/Israel in 2024 to 2025 is that we really want to take that itinerary....and that X gave us some FCC for the ship vibrations. Otherwise...we're done. When we changed the sailing with with the new Retreat booking policy, we lost our grats and OBC (even the OBC we got for booking onboard).
  13. The medium plates were at all of the main food stations....not a large plate to be found. There were small ones at desserts.
  14. We experienced on numerous buffet lunches, that we couldn't find a normal dinner size plate and only the medium size. I told DH that it was X's way of controlling the amount of food you take.
  15. No butler delivered our breakfast...only handled the order with room service just dropping off the tray. We've never asked for a set up. We have about the same loyalty level on X, RCCL and Princess. We have always enjoyed the Princess Penthouse suites and when we sailed on the Sky Princess last May, we were pleasantly happy with the meals in their "Reserve Class Dining". Their new ships (Sun, Star) will have a dedicated "Reserve" concept like the "Retreat" which we're looking forward to as we do like a dedicated suite restaurant.
