Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Do you by chance know the current email address for Norma and Lyli? I'm assuming it's HS_concierge01 and HS_concierge02 or something along those lines? -bert
  2. Does anybody know who the current concierges on Harmony of the Seas are? Thank you!!
  3. ANYTHING else would do! Bionic is slow, time consuming, needs constant human maintenance. It's only good for marketing purposes. So I guess that's why Royal sticks with it. They don't care as much about us as they do about the first time cruiser market. 10 seconds into pouring my first bionic bar drink 5 years ago on Anthem, I knew it was the last time I'd be using the bioinic bar.
  4. Best deck on ship. But we are biased because we love walking out to the serenity of Central Park and restaurants of central park. You're only two decks above the action of the promenade and the boardwalk. Finally, with your suite specifically you are steps from the elevator. Why is that great in your particular situation? You are situated directly below the elevator lobby which lets out on deck 17 where the suite lounge and coastal kitchen are located. That means at a none busy time especially during the early happy hour it's nothing for you to dart up and grab complimentary cocktails from the suite lounge and head back to your room. Congrats!
  5. I've soured on Blanton's because of this. Don't get me wrong it's great but it's not worth the cost when the entry level of the distillery, Buffalo Trace, is usually 1/3 the price and is wonderful. My wife is from Bourbon country she grew up 8 miles from Makers Mark and I've found Blanton's for $90 five miles from a place trying to sell it to unsuspecting bourbon trailers for $140. $110 in a duty free on the ship is price gouging. It's at the CLT airport for $82 duty free for international travelers. The St. Maarten price was very reasonable. Here in Charlotte it's rarely ever found but recently went for retail at $60 during special grand opening of an ABC store. I've heard it can often be found at $60 in big cities. The distributors here in the southeast tell me buffalo trace distillery allocates according to population. So we get shafted in the smaller population centers. I do often get annoyed at Buffalo Trace family of brands for what I think is driving artificial scarcity with their product. Here even the entry level buffalo trace is hard to get so I grab it whenever i find it. When we go back to Kentucky you better believe I'm bootlegging a minivan full for friends and neighbors. I transfer to my bourbon aficionado friends at my cost but you can probably resell it here for nearly twice the cost because the stores rarely have it and when they do they only allow one per customer.
