Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Ask the room steward for Bulgari. They may still have a stash! When I smell it I always think of seadream.
  2. I would recommend at least 2 days in Athens for potential delays. We had people on our cruise delayed twice. Plus..things to do! We stayed at Hera Hotel. Liked the location. Decent price.
  3. The snorkeling is OK at the JVD stop but my favorite thing to do their is the crew walk to foxy's before the beach party. I think I've done all the possible excursions on st barths and none are too great. Only thing I can recommend if you've never been there is to rent a car on the pier to explore the island. On Nevis I've done the crew led bike ride, whish is nice but brutal hills.
  4. I had asked the seadream forum in August if anyone had been on emerald and got so responses. I would definitely stick with seadream for the Caribbean.
  5. PLEASE report back! Since we're booked for December, there mat be time for us to switch rooms!
  6. We've done Athens to Venice, which included Dubrovnik, Hvar, and Rovinj. We didn't have a chef walk, unfortunately. We did an overnight in Dubrovnik where we could have eaten in town. It is unlikely you will stay late enough to eat out in the evening unless it is an overnight. We did the Hvar Island discovery tour, which was good. They generally start around 9am. You will be tendering in. I don't recall swimming on that particular trip. Enjoy!
  7. Well, this makes me very nervous as we have booked it for next new years. Prior to booking I asked 2 couples about the noise who were staying there and they said they didn't hear a thing.
  8. We're booked for the NYE cruise next year. We wanted to invite some friends to go with us to celebrate my husband's 70th birthday. I asked my TA to check availability and there is only 1 stateroom on deck 2 left! I knew it would book out early but I didn't think it would be THAT early. There may be people who are booked and will cancel but I wanted to let people know the status!
  9. Yep, hey won't transfer the onboard booking discount. For future reference, you might do the 10% open booking instead. F&F for newbie...probably because it's the same room? The $400 charge makes no sense to me. Should be far enough out that it would be $50 rebooking fee per person. I also assume they wouldn't give him the booking discount since he wasnt on the trip? (That has also happened to me) The TA crossing is generally 1/2 the per day price. I will say that for as much as we love the ship and crew and their customer service is fantastic, the customer service from the front office is not of the caliber and their rules are very strict, as you have found.
  10. If we tip individually we would tip in dollars because many of the crew will be sending money home, which I assume is better in dollars. We give to the welfare fund, which is paid in dollars.
  11. Thanks for letting us know. Will definitely check the schedule before booking there before cruise. I IS very convenient.
  12. Would love to hear about your trip afterwards. We are going on SD2 next NYE.
  13. Hi Dan! Fellow Tampan here. I wondered whether they ever give solos a break on fare? It doesn't appear they do but I wondered on the TA whether they would since there are so few people.
  14. The major updates were done 2 years ago so probably a few tweaks recently. If you haven't been on since covid will be all updated.
  15. I SO want to book B2B for Scotland and Ireland but the timing isn't right for us to plunk down $10k for the deposit. I'm hoping it won't book out too fast but we'll probably end up getting waitlisted.
