Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I understand there are beaches within walking distance of the port. Is there decent snorkeling and can we rent the equipment on site (like we do on Coki Beach in St. Thomas). Would like to avoid purchasing an excursion with guide. We are experienced snorkelers. Thoughts?
  2. I am Platinum, though my upcoming October cruise is my first in a few years. I have never been offered any upgrade, whether free or reduced price. But I know it occurs. I don't expect it or much care at this point.
  3. I am Platinum for both CCL and RCCL but admittedly have not cruised since Alaska on Rhapsody of the Seas in 2013 (going on Carnival again in October) In 2010 did a 14 day Mediterranean cruise on the Independence of the Seas..beautiful mega-ship that we really enjoyed. But our previous Carnival cruises were just as enjoyable. That was years ago, so with time and the pandemic, subsequent budget, supply and staffing issues have deteriorated the quality of all lines. Hopefully temporarily.
  4. Drazil65 is spot on. We've cruised several times in the Fall. Once I cruised during my namesake Hurricane Mitch. (I got a lot of ribbing on board for this) They switched the itinerary to avoid the storm and except for one day the weather was great. Prices tend to be lower so it's a good time to cruise in my view.
  5. Thanks for the responses, especially cruiserofships. Long and detailed and I appreciate it. Some good changes, some not as good but certainly not a deal breaker. I do wonder about some folks (usually older guests) who don't do the Smart Phone thing....
  6. OK specific: Is room service whittled down to just once a day still, and if so when do they generally clean as opposed to the original mid-morning and early evening?
  7. Just booked my first cruise in years, and first Carnival since the 2000's. Was glad to see CCL automatically converted me to new VIFP system and I'm still Platinum status. I sailed Triumph once upon a time and now will reboard it again as Sunrise after what looks to be an excellent refurb. My inquiry is toward those veterans that can share what changes (pandemic and just in general) can I expect from the "legacy" Carnival pre 2010 and now.
