Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Only thing, it did work for us. We bought a cruise purchased by someone else with their FCC. They did not want to go and so they added me, waited a week, and then exited the cruise, and I added my granddaughter. I did that cruise back in March. Someone at Royal told them what and how to do it and we did just as they were told.
  2. I just did not want it to be for the MDR use only because I do not want a latte at dinner, I want a frozen one in the afternoon. I found the answer in Matts blog. He has an updated policy someone else sent me there. I can use it at any Cafe Latte-tude fleetwide. Thank you for your help. Much appreciated.
  3. The date comes first, followed by the itinerary, cost, and ship. I like the midsized ship the best. But the smaller ones for Canada and New England are perfect too. Too many people think only "Old People" go to Canada but that is not true. There were lots of younger people and even about 60 kids of various ages. Most of those were homeschooled and doing projects. The Panama Canal also uses smaller ships and is a lot like Canadian sailings as to the demographics.
  4. This a MIGHT, just be forewarned and ready to wait if they say the entire group cannot go in mass when some are at 11:00 and others not until 2:30. I have been with groups that have been lucky and with others that people had to sit and wait until their time slot to even line up to enter the building. It all depends on the person working, the boss working, and the attitude of the group. Be sweet, and best of luck. Worse case, everyone can wait until 2ish
  5. I asked and was told the cabin stewards all take them back to their cabins or share them with their friends.
  6. Isn't that simple supply and demand? Yesterday, sold a bunch, now today not as many to sell , so they charge more for fewer total items.
  7. I just last week had 2 cruises drop, one late 24, and they asked me if I wanted a charge credit or an OBC. I took the charge credit. The other cruise is past final payment and I thought what the...and called. I was given an OBC. Don't know if I have been blessed by the person answering the line or by King Titan himself used some magic but I got a refund 4 months after booking, and 42 days prior to sailing an OBC. ALWAYS call and try.
  8. I have learned, as you have, not to cancel before getting the new, better, lower sale price shown as part of the newest, and greatest sale offer. I attempt to book the newest rate, and after it is successful, I cancel the prior one. It is the only way I can make it work. I am sorry you lost your first real deal to the wind. I know when buying for a cabin it can get pricey.
  9. Did you have a coffee card/ Did you use it at the Ben & Jerry's and Starbucks kiosk? I have been told we cannot use them and that we can. When I called Royal they said not in a Starbucks shop. It is NOT a shop just a kiosk shared with Ben & Jerry's. In March I was on Enchantment and could use them. Don't want to waste my money. Thank you in advance.
  10. The youngest has had text-only plans since she was 10. The oldest gets a full package and I don't even get one. I have one day that is in port about midway where I play catch up with family, friends and work. No one is bankrupt when we all don't have full plans. Plus AT&T has very reasonable plans we can get of in port days.
  11. I just read this and am still giggling. With a tween and a 20 yr old, oh my! Their phones are like an extra appendage that came about via evolution. It would be death if either of them went 10 days without their phones. I do NOT even get a WiFi plan. I use airplane mode and take pics and videos with my phone.
  12. I had a college Nutrition class and was told that it takes 3 times as much salt to give the same flavor when added while cooking as it does when we salt our food on the plate. I do not add any salt unless making a baked good and allow everyone to self-salt their plates. It seems to work well for our family. Not sure if anyone is a nutritionist and knows more, but this is something I have now been doing for over a decade.
  13. You are so right. I used to have issues on day 3. It is an issue for lots of people and especially those with high BP, cardiac issues, and kidney problems. One thing I always invest in is a case of water in my cabin. I always drink lots of tea, it is a diuretic, around ship plus, now I make sure I drink 4 bottles of water each day, and since doing that, I have seen a huge improvement.
  14. I am looking for someone that recently was on the Vision. I have a question and need someone that was actually on ship in the last month of so. Thanks so much.
