Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. In Texas, school ends in May and starts the 2nd week of Aug. Try staying in Tha Havana area on a Vista or Excel? And, even as a mom, I can't stand to be in a hot tub full of children. I never got in the hot tub on our last cruise and if I did it would have probably been on serenity. The few times that one of our kids would go in the hot tub my husband would sit in there with her.
  2. After the last fire, did she immediately get repaired or did she sail with a half burned tail? Any photos?
  3. Is anyone booked on this new ship? I considered it but the reviews are terrible! Bad food, bars closing early, grumpy service. It seems like you have to do yacht club to have a decent experience.
  4. Hello Fellow Texans! Galveston is my homeport. We live in DFW. How do y'all stay up to date on cruise ships comings and goings and new itineraries from the Galveston port? Is cruise critic your best bet?
  5. Yeas all those things... And pictures they take of u
  6. Spring break is a guessing game. I have looked at trends in past calendars but it's always the 2nd or 3rd week in March. As for Christmas, some years we get a full week before Christmas and almost no time off in January. Other years, we are out a few days before Christmas and then don't go back until January 6-8. Some years get a full week at Thanksgiving! At least July is always available.
  7. Yes, we had a trash can in one bathroom and in the common area of the stateroom, but the common areas of the boat has no trash cans. The bathrooms that offer paper towels have a small bucket (labeled for paper only)if there isn't a small trash integrated into the counter/cabinet. Yes, that pizza is good! I wonder if it's the same recipe on all carnival ships???
  8. No, the sports court was always in use for other things. There was almost always 2 half-court basketball games and a soccer game going simultaneously on the court. Lots of teens on our spring break cruise. Perhaps if I had a group of aggressive pickleball players with me, we could have staged a coup. As for the drinking, I guess Carnival is different. We had slightly limited beverage menus that whole embark day. Drink packages start the next day. I cannot remember how it was when we cruised out of Galveston with Royal 6 years ago.
  9. Thank goodness they didn't go crazy and melt cheese on top of the kung pao chicken.
  10. I brought champagne and I was hoping that they would bring me a cold bucket for it. But they did not and it was late in the dinner before I remembered to ask for one. But I think I know that I will only bring glasses in the future to avoid that small fee
  11. I wonder why they only do this for lunch. I also wonder if I would have enjoyed my food there better had I gotten the lettuce wraps. Does anyone else think that it's weird to have corn and tomatoes in egg drop soup?
  12. I heard from a woman on the ship to try Dream's spa! I wouldn't hesitate to book dream if they had a ropes course because my kids enjoyed that dang ropes course so much.
