Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. We had a White & Gold night on NYE on our recent Caribbean cruise on Ruby. My daughters and I tried to find something at the local consignment store, but only one daughter had any luck. She found a very pretty gold pleated dress. Not too many people were wearing white & gold, but many folks were in party clothes for NYE.
  2. When we did it, it was ages 14 and up. It was lots of fun, but just remember that it's JUST for fun! Two of the people who were in the show with me thought they they were going to get picked up by talent scouts and such. They made the whole experience surreal and a bit uncomfortable.
  3. Yes, I have seen the water/ice dispensers at the coffee/drink stations. The OP had mentioned a dedicated bottle refilling station, which is different.
  4. Where did you see it? I was just on the Ruby, and I couldn’t find one. I just used a cup to refill my water bottle from the water/ice dispenser.
  5. Jeans are definitely allowed. The only restriction I recall is that ripped jeans are not allowed. I remember telling my kids this on their first cruise back in 2017-ish.
  6. I was just on the Ruby, and they had the dessert that looks like a viking ship (the hazelnut bar), and the pistachio dome.
  7. If you go to the ship's library/games room, they usually have pencils and paper. I've also been able to get a pad of notepaper from the guest services desk.
  8. Thanks for all the awesome photos! We were also on the Bliss last week. We had originally booked the Grand from LA to Vancouver, but switched to NCL when it got shortened from a 7-day to a 4-day. The Bliss was lovely, but man...I really missed the beautiful Princess Piazza, and the delicious Princess desserts. Can't wait for my next Princess cruise!
  9. Maybe the NCL Bliss would be one you would enjoy. It's very big, with a go-kart track and laser tag on the top deck. It has a HUGE Observation Lounge in the front of the ship, perfect for watching the scenery in Alaska. I think we need to know why you want the biggest newest ship. Are there certain amenities you are looking for?
  10. Ha ha ha! I called them the pastry robots! It was so creepy, but kind of adorable.
  11. Oh this note, if you are booking with NCL but are not a drinker, be sure to UN-CLICK the "Free Drinks" perk when you book. If not, you will still be charged the gratuities even if you never order a drink. I'm glad I noticed it, as it saved me ~$250 on a recent cruise. It's quite sneaky how they add it to the fare.
  12. Just FYI, the Peace Arch Border crossing is called Douglas Crossing on Arrive Can. The truck crossing is called the Pacific Highway Border Crossing. Those are the official names.
