Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Our driver was fantastic, I don’t see how a tour guide would add any vslue
  2. It worked fine on the ship as long as we weren’t too far away from land and cellular signals.
  3. We had the same cabin on Millennium in the past and had no noise issues at all. We are in a middle aft cabin and our friends are in an end cabin and we all have the same noise complaints. I don’t remember if on the Millennium cruise if the movie screen/speakers were facing the pool or facing aft. The volume is a lot higher than I remember
  4. Currently on the 11th deck aft cabin on Infinity. If you’re looking for a peaceful cruise don’t book these cabins. The soundtrack from the 12th deck movie is loud and echoes through the cabin. Worse than that is an Irish singer playing in front of the movie screen. Even with the glass door closed his catawalling vibrates our room. He’s been playing till 11pm all week. We’ve complained several times to guest services but he’s still playing. Terrible cruise experience!
  5. https://hippocketwifi.com/en/pocket-wifi-europe-rental/ pretty cheap works great
  6. Currently on the infinity doing a Greek isle trip. Connecting to the ship WiFi is very sketchy at best. Our cabin is in the aft of the ship where there are no routers so I am told. We get no connection here. If you walk around the center of the ship you can connect. If I hadn’t rented a mobile WiFi hot spot before the cruise I would be upset. The mobile hot spot works great on land and in the water and is very quick. The only spotty lost coverage areas is when we are far from land
  7. We walked up the hill to the Acropolis and other buildings as Stratus waited in the car for us. He said that it should take about 1.5 hours to see everything but to take as much time as we needed. The actual walk uphill wasn’t that difficult ( I have two artificial hips) but I can see where walking on the uneven gravel paths could be a challenge. I’m 69 years old and I had no problems
  8. https://www.georgestaxi.com/, it was the luck of the draw.
  9. 4 of us took a tour today in Athens using George’s Taxi Company. It was fantastic! Our driver named Stratos was a delight. He was a walking Greek historian and showed tremendous pride in his country. We started at the Acropolis where he gave us. 15 minute overview in the car about the history of it and how it related to European history. We went to several stops in Athens not listed on the tour where he gave us a history lesson on each one. It was all very interesting. We then went to the Corinth canal which was an another engineering marvel. We then went to the ruins and museum in Corinth where Paul preached to the Corinthians and learned interesting facts about Paul and his significance in the spreading of Christianity. He made several more stops on our way back to Athens. Stratos is a very experienced guide who planned everything very well. It was about an 8 hour day and we enjoyed every minute of it.
  10. I booked transportation through my TA for travel from Ravenna to Venice city center for $58 per person. They also have travel from Venice airport and train station to Ravenna port. You can book what you need by calling Celebrity.
  11. I noticed recently that celebrity has reduced the selection of beers and liquor available in the classic package.
  12. Aft cabins on deck 11 are our favorite. Love walking down to the bar on an Almost private stairway. Never had a problem with noise.
  13. These are our favorite cabins, easy to walk down to the sunset bar, sometimes harder to walk up.
