Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. 2 see the 2 device price, you click buy on the internet package. The next screen will give you the options. So pick one person on the reservation and then select how many devices and you will see the total price. You can do all of this without continuing to the checkout and paying anything. Unfortunately the sale price on the main screen only shows the one device one person price.
  2. For my family it has yet to be low enough for the price since it is 4 of us. I took the price, subtracted internet and the lowest price was still about $75 per person after that. I put lunch and breakfast worth about $40. None of our ports are tender and the other benefits aren't really that valuable to us. I would appreciate it for the shows but on and off has always been simple enough.
  3. My husband likes to lay about and read on vacations. I sort of make him go do things. I think if I didn't decide on vacations and do the planning, he would be perfectly content just being at home like always but he enjoys the things I plan. I kind of look forward to trips with just the 2 of us once the kids start their own lives but also the teens have made things more interesting and fun.
  4. I am happy the dogs are doing better. You know we were all holding our breath at the beginning of the last live you did. Will there be the same level of drinking and casino on a shorter cruise with Mr IT?
  5. Can you switch your cruise a week in either direction? If you are driving, you could stay in Baton Rouge or Gulfport/Biloxi and finish the drive the next day or fly to one of those places if transportation is available. I doubt you will find a good priced hotel for that particular night in New Orleans but maybe try calling hotels to see what they offer instead of online? Most of the cheaper places are likely full and the others have all raised their prices from their normal rates by a lot.
  6. Thank you for correcting me. I have never been on ship with an escape room. If they previously had a charge it makes more sense. The website did not say it was an additional charge when looking at ships and my previous knowledge was it hadn't been opened in sometime on Harmony. Today was the first time it has popped up for me on the planner. At $19 my husband and I might do it. At $39 it is a bit more than I would want to spend. Included in cruise price and I would be booking a time. Of course I am trying to save some money and not sure why I keep looking at the casitas and some of the other things.
  7. I just got an email for our upcoming cruise on Harmony in June for dining packages and all that like I get daily. I decided to check to see about the classes in the onboard activities and current casita prices. There is an option to book the escape room for $39 per person. So it looks like the escape room is coming back but wasn't it previously included and not an extra fee? I was hoping to do this but not sure I would want to pay $39 per person.
  8. Thank you!!! I now have more planning to work on, after a work day from hell. Only 105 days until my vacation begins.
  9. My husband and teen went to one in Vegas a couple of weeks ago. They both said it was great. Total cost for 2 meals (and probably dessert or shakes) was $75. Five Guys will easily cost $15 per person in our city. We probably won't go on our upcoming Harmony cruise, unless the teens beg for lunch one day and it isn't busy.
  10. We used a travel agent. He was able to book my kids in their own room with a fake birthday and then call Royal to link the rooms and change the kid's birthday. This way their room key opens their room. Previously we did one adult and one kid in each room and the room keys were an issue, even after going to guest services onboard. They just gave us an extra set of key and the kid that had switched rooms had to carry 2 different cards (one adult's to open the room and their own seapass). Having 2 cards seems like it wouldn't be an issue but it was an annoyance when they would forget and then come in our room to get to theirs.
  11. Have you cruised out of Texas before? Texas has some kind of dumb alcohol rules while in port. Which is funny, considering my city has drive through margaritas and daiquiris. Though those drive thrus are nothing compared to the liquor barns in Mississippi.
  12. I know you said this wasn't that type of review but I am trying to plan dinners. Can you see the showtimes for Harmony and if so any chance you can post them? Either way, I am still following along. This is one of the best reviews I've seen.
  13. I was kind of joking but basically 2 adults and 2 teens. Neither teen ever agrees with the other about what we should do. The adults want to do both, so we win.
  14. In the past we have found a cheaper hotel in Houston or south of Houston but before Galveston. However we drive the 12 hours from where we live to the port and have our own transportation. Last time we stayed near Hobby and had no issues with the area. Our hotel had 3 chain restaurants nearby (but we ate as we entered Houston to get a car break). Our upcoming cruise in June has Galveston hotel prices at almost $300 a night for lower end places. We managed to get a 2 bedroom rental house for 2 nights for the cost of 2 nights at one of the cheaper hotels. We lose out on having a pool but we save by having a kitchen, It really depends on how long you need a room for and your priorities. If it is just a place to sleep the night before, go for something cheap with airport shuttles but if you want to get vacation started and have a day, I would stay in Galveston, unless you want to go to NASA. Either way, you probably need to book soon. Prices are only going to go up as places reach capacity. We booked through VRBO but the place we chose was also on Trip Advisor and Booking websites. I checked reviews and policies on all of the sites.
  15. Thank you. Maybe it will be more clear in the summer months? Either way we will enjoy ourselves. 3/4ths of my family wants to go to the ruins and a different 3/4ths wants to go to a beach and relax.
