Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. You cannot ask for the codes they show up on your reservation so you know which promotions/offers your booking received and which free at sea you opted for.
  2. MDR (Savor and/or Taste, one or both should be open) and I believe the Local is open.
  3. I was on this itinerary in May. If you do not have mobility issues then these are to good excursions. In Puerto Plata, which ended up being Amber Cove for us but basically the same port, we did the Damajagua Waterfalls. This is were you slide down waterfalls. This was one our of favorite excursion ever. It is quite a hike to get to the falls but they stop you every 5 minutes to give you a rest. In Tortola we did the Virgin Gorda and Baths. This is basically a beach day but you get to walk and climb through really cool rock formations on your way to the beach. On GSC we rented a Silver Cove Ocean Cabana. It was nice and private. For most of the day it was only me and my daughter in the water in our area, which had waves (the Lagoon did not have any waves). I always like Cabanas since they give you a place to drop your stuff and guaranteed shade. I know there are other Cabanas not in Silver Cove that are cheaper or if you do not want to be away from the action. Silver Cove is a private area for only Silver Cove guests and they cart you to the area since it is on one end of the island.
  4. We are the second week of March.
  5. In March 2023 I have an Aft Haven on deck 12 on the Breakaway so I will get to see the differences.
  6. I was on the Breakaway (sister ship) in May in Aft Haven. We loved it. I spent so much time just lounging on my Balcony. I do not mind walking and we were on deck 13 so it was only a couple decks up, it took less than 5 minutes to get to the Haven area.
  7. I was told the new policy is a one time 25% of difference for FCC after final payment when I called three weeks ago and that is subject to additional conditions. Also for an upgrade you must pay something to upgrade. If you do upgrade they do it while you are on the phone right then and there.
  8. NCL went back to their pre-covid policy. Carnival and RCL are 90 days for 5 or more day cruises.
  9. I sailed on Carnival in October, December, and March. October and December we were not at double occupancy but in March we where at max capacity on the Vista and had almost 5000 passengers aboard, typical spring break crowds. Based on other posts March and April have been sailing at or near max capacities (due to spring breaks) so I cannot image they would go backwards and restrict the numbers again in May.
  10. I have used the emed test 3 times and will be using as long as testing is required. It is super easy. I never had to wait for a proctor. The entire thing takes about 20 minutes, 15 minutes is waiting for the test. While waiting for the test you do not need to stay in view of the camera only your test does. I have used my phone twice and my iPad once and never had an issue. My daughter was 14 so I have her under my account and I had to do her test and show my ID. You can also submit the emed to your insurance and they may pay part or all of the cost.
  11. I just upgraded to a Haven 2 bedroom family villa for less than what I had bid. This is for my July cruise. I recommend people check the actual current prices because this is the second cruise in 2022 that I upgraded to the Haven for less than my bid.
  12. Another thing to consider if one of these cruises is a Cozumel plus, this will give you more time in Cozumel. Many excursions take you to the mainland and can be 8 hours but if it is not Cozumel plus then you have less options for excursions. I have been to Jamaica once and that was enough but Grand Turk is beautiful. I would do the Vista for the itinerary, since I really like Belize and go to Turquoise Bay all-inclusive.
  13. Your original perks stay the same as when you booked. You still only have one specialty dining if that is what you booked under. The upgrade is for the room only and not the perks.
  14. These are the reasons why I originally booked the poolside cabana but for us the quiet is worth the walk.
