Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Saturday and Sunday are the worst days for travel - craziness. We live in VA, usually 2 1/2 hours to Baltimore cruise port, BUT the Sunday in April last year was 4 1/2 hours. BUT the NICE bridge over the Potomac was 2 lanes - now it is 4 lanes. That was at least an hour hold up. Take advice from @Noledad77 LIfe is short, take the cruise. (And I just checked on this cruise since it is so much closer to us, and am on the WAIT list. Just guess how much the CARNIVAL Confirmation cost is for a Balcony? approximately $16,000 - but that just numbers..................... I hope you all can go and enjoy, no matter how you have to get there - Mimi in VA
  2. I AGREE COMPLETELY! 🛳😎😍
  3. @jeanandmark @mmbrad02 @mitsugirly @crewsweeper We want to rent a golf cart as well. Were you happy with your rental, and who did you rent from? Thanks. We will be there December 12. Mimi/Virginia
  4. That is what I read here as well, buy the OBC with gift cards, then once on board buy the Grats & HIA with OBC. problem solved!
  5. And I checked price for day pass for adult $190
  6. We will dock at Nassau in October and would like to ‘possibly’ spend our time at Atlantis. Suggestions on best and safest way to get there? Is there a water taxi? Fun things for a couple in their early 70’s? TIA Mimi Virginia
  7. Thank you everyone, I will have her call HAL directly……(if she wants to go through the process and expect to pay for a cabin for two 🤦🏼‍♂️)
  8. If this has been addressed, I apologize! We are on the Nieuw Statendam for the December 10-17 cruise. Our sweet friend lost her husband in March - and they traveled a lot with us. I was hoping we could get her a cabin, NOT at the 2 person cost for this cruise. I checked and HAL shows this cruise sold out. Who would be the best to contact? A TA or the HAL directly? I don't think the odds are in our favor, but you never know. She is a 2-Star Mariner. Thanks. Mimi VA
  9. @sassy~one I have not been on CC for a while (obviously) and just read your response. I appreciate it very much. I think I will cancel our reservations for the spa and check it out when we get on board. Then I'll make that decision. Happy birthday, a bit late - and by the way I turned 72 in May. Hard to believe I am this age! Know what I mean? 🙄 Enjoy your next cruise!
  10. I have not looked at Carnival for a spa cabin, I know the ones on another line we enjoyt, are more expensive, and we did not think it worth it. I'll have to check next time! Thanks @arpie05
  11. @sassy~one .. how was your cruise? We have booked the Spa for our 10/22 cruise…. What was your experience?
  12. Good Morning! Well, due to back issues, we had to cancel our cruise for April 1-7….😢 DH decided he did not want to try and rebook, so with the Platinum insurance, we will get 90% back. Now I caution you all on this: if you have used gift cards to purchase anything (except cruise payments), go in and cancel ALL items you have purchased BEFORE you cancel the cruise. If you do, you will get back full value of gift card as another gift card. If you DO NOT cancel the gift card purchases before cancelling the cruise, you will only get back the percentage allowed on your insurance.(at least that is what the HA Agent said) We have platinum insurance, 90% of cruise cost we get back; and 90% of gift cards…….. Bummer I hope this helps in the future…. Mimi, Virginia
  13. Hello, It may be we will need to cancel our April 1 cruise, based on severe back issues of my DH at the moment. We do have Platinum insurance, but can we change the cruise to another without losing 10% of our payment? TIA Sad in Va
  14. Thanks RuthC - you are a peach! And always so knowledgeable. I hope you are doing well.. Mimi
  15. Last time we got to cruise on HA, December 2019, they also pressed clothes with the Laundry Package. Does anyone know if that is still the case?
