Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Can you tell me the all-over condition of Marina? We are thinking of a last minute booking on the April transatlantic to Barcelona. I know the refurbishment is happening in May and wonder if they are letting things go until then. The first few days of that cruise are in warm weather and would be very upset if the a/c didn’t work.
  2. You’re exactly right. It’s the number of reviews. Many more people on Viking so many more votes. Doesn’t mean they’re actually the best.
  3. While you certainly can bring glitz for your Oceania cruise if you like, it’s not at all necessary. I bring black pants and a few different tops. Sometimes I bring a simple black dress and change it up with jewelry or scarf. I never waste the luggage space with a cocktail dress. Remember you’re never going to see these people again. When we do cruise with friends I remind myself that they’ve already seen most of my wardrobe!
  4. Did you get a Medicare supplement plan in addition to your regular Medicare? The supplement or “Medigap” plan pays the 20% that Medicare doesn’t pay. If you have the supplement plan, it’s possible that the dr’s office sent you the invoice before the supplement plan has paid him. Call the dr’s office before you pay the bill.
  5. My TA told me the new policy took effect as of July 1, 2022. We had to cancel after penalty and was hoping we could apply it to the new cruise we booked. Nope.
  6. We live in NY and have flown into/out of Bridgetown on JetBlue. Took cab to ship. No problems whatsoever. As has been said, many hotels for pre-cruise stay.
  7. You can request San Pellegrino for your cabin. We’ve gotten it (‘22) but not sure about currently.
  8. We stayed at Les Marrioniers a number of years ago while our daughter was studying in Paris. Great location but the rooms are tiny! The first room they gave us was in the attic, sort of like a garret. Very atmospheric but DH couldn’t stand up in it. The next room was so small that one of us had to get dressed and leave so the other could get dressed. Only way to dry my hair was to take the mirror off the wall and sit on the floor in front of it. Typical tiny Parisian elevator. Lois, don’t take your big luggage if you decide to stay there. True, the garden is lovely and peaceful. One night might be o.k. but not more than that for me.
  9. For those of you just recently off Riviera, what was disembarkation like? I know earlier in this thread jonthomas said it was easy but Woofa had a lengthy wait. Trying to figure out if we can make a 12:15 flight from MIA.
  10. Thanks for your review of the ports. We have the same ones in March. Who did you use for your private San Juan tour?
  11. We’ll be on Riviera in March and that sounds dreadful! I can’t imagine trivia via PowerPoint.
  12. Can we make a 12:10 flight from FLL after a POM cruise? This is on Sunday, March 12 with 8 ships at POM. We would do this to avoid the anticipated crush at MIA. If so would you recommend SAS or Uber or taxi?
  13. Do you know how your friend made arrangements to spend the day at the Hyatt in St. Kitts? We would like to do the same when we are in St. Kitts in March.
  14. How long is the ride from POM to Palm Beach airport? We will be disembarking Oceania’s Riviera on Sunday, March 12. The flight from PBI is around 3:00.
