Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. We'll be there on board Wonder this October. Looks like Freedom will be there with us. Both scheduled to arrive at 7 am. That'll be interesting for sure.
  2. You can fill out the special needs form for a sharps container, but I'm my experience, it's been hit or miss being in the room when we arrive. I just ask the room steward for one, since that's what usually ends up happening anyway. As far as diet, being on a cruise surrounded by temptation makes it hard for any of us. As a newly diagnosed diabetic, your husband also still be figuring out how different foods affect his glucose levels. I do my best to keep it under control, watching carbs etc, but also don't beat myself up about over indulging a few meals on vacation either. Went on two cruises last year and didn't gain a pound on either one. Did a lot of walking. Skipped the elevator and took the stairs quite often. Every little bit helps. Good luck to him.
  3. My less than 10 minutes of research suggest that he will not need a visa for either country, but may need to complete a pre-check for Honduras. Being as he is a permanent resident, perhaps reaching out to the US State Department would help answer your questions definitively. 🤞
  4. If that is the case, it's a recent change. Perhaps since covid. I'm thinking it more likely the person in question got an uninformed service rep. Why would the cruise line turn down additional revenue? Not debating the ease or convenience of alternatives vs the coach transfer. To each their own as they prefer. 😉
  5. What if they return to the airport the next day for transfer to the ship? While we've never done this, I've heard people often do.
  6. Book online without entering your C&A. Problem solved. If it doesn't appear in your account on its own, you can pull it in with the booking number. You'll still get credit. 😉
  7. We usually bring $200, mostly for shore side shopping, but rarely spend it all.
  8. The only one near us didn't survive the pandemic, but we always enjoyed eating there. I don't find the onboard version to be as good as the land version. The burgers there never seemed remarkably different from what is served in the Windjammer, so at $15, I'd probably skip JR's. Guy's onboard Carnival? Now that's a good burger. And it doesn't cost extra. 😉
  9. We haven't cruised Royal Caribbean since 2019. Are they enforcing check-in times at the port now? We'll be going out of Port Canaveral this fall.
  10. Currently $47.99 for our October sailing on Wonder. Cheapest I've seen it so far has been $46.99.
  11. Junior suite cabins also tend to have more room than standard balcony cabins.
  12. Yeah, Royal Caribbean and Carnival are different, but wouldn't call Royal Caribbean superior. We've only done 10 cruises spread among Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Princess. We've yet to have a bad experience on any of them. 😉
  13. Not to be nit picky, but it's Quantum class. 😉 The cover/tribute band on Anthem when we sailed her several years ago mostly played music from Boston, IIRC. We like the era, but would prefer more variety. The novelty wears off after the first night you see them play. At least it did for us. My wife's sister enjoyed really enjoyed it.
  14. We checked a few dates. An ocean view balcony next June 2025 was $8400. October 2025 was $6000, which is more than double what we're paying for Wonder October 2024. The prices on Wonder are actually higher than what we'd normally pay for a fall cruise, but decided to give a go anyway. It will be our first Oasis class cruise.
