Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Recent experience is that most of the specialty restaurants are only partial full due the price hikes. Last month aboard Equinox Murano was only half full for our B2B cruises and we booked every night in murano
  2. There is NO safety briefing on Celebrity. Just a click box where people can say what they like........is that Safety ?
  3. That's why everyone cancels their gratuities on the last evening, avoids any difficulties
  4. $400 tip for a 10day cruise is ridiculous. No wonder so many people CANCEL them.
  5. Don't bother to follow the rules which Celebrity don't enforce. Recent experience is it's a free for all and none of the Celebrity staff pay any attention to your arrival slot.
  6. I have read similar to what you say but never had the it refused. Last time I did it myself, previously I enlisted the wife to place bets with me, although it was probably obvious to the Dealer. One thing I ensure is that table is always busy before I try my luck.
  7. Yes you can, we did just that in December and converted $300 obc into $280 cash. Hope to do the same next month again with our $300 non-refundable obc. No questions were asked when I placed $20 on red and $20 black for many spins and was lucky no '0' or '00'
  8. ....you must ALWAYS remember to LOG OUT, otherwise it's down the pan.
  9. Cost €50 each way to get to anywhere decent and the Med water is never warm IMO
  10. The Silhouette has by far the better itinerary. The stand out ports for tourists are 1. Kusadasi 2. Athens 3. Istanbul 4. Rhodes 5. Santorini 6. Crete . Mykonos, Katakolon and Valleta are very missable - all three best to stay aboard
  11. Not 'was', "will be", we are going in July 2024. There are now 6 ships there, 1 dropped out but increased passengers now potentially over 17,000 https://www.cruisetimetables.com/mykonosgreeceschedule-24jul2024.html
  12. You were lucky. According to their tourist board 895 cruise ships visited their tiny Island in 2023 up from 608 the year previous - they describe it as a nightmare. We unfortunately booked a Celebrity cruise to discover that 7 cruise ships will be there the day we visit on Equinox in July (potentially over 15,000 passengers) which I would say is intolerable and not worthy of departing the ship by tender. As I said earlier the Cruise Industry is destroying tourism and it's getting worse........
  13. I have my doubts on Celebrity's Gelato....... it's ice cream with ice. Rubbish ! I always forget the free $15 casino chips.
  14. Far easier to use .....https://www.cruisetimetables.com
  15. The large cruise ships are killing tourism in the Mediterranean and on some Caribbean Islands. There was always crowds BUT not to same extent as today. There are so many people it's better not to go ashore that's why cruising has lost it's appeal, to us at least.
