Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Yes, we were hoping to be able to use them all but no luck. Their "free" cruises are not good cruises. They have been sending us free ones for years but never seem to interest us. We made use of the 2 certificates we were able to use. Jim & Cathy
  2. RCCL.... We are the same (wife)prime & me choice. Just did a B2B 9 day and 5 day. We tried to use all 4 certificates (2 of mine and 2 wifes) from both cruises to book a new one... no luck. We were only able to use the 2 from 1 cruise...not both. It is BS as far as I'm concerned. Jim & Cathy
  3. We are scheduled on Holland America out of Ijmuiden(Amsterdam) may of 24.... I'm reading that the ban is for city center so I don't think it will affects our cruise but still wonder if they will ad Ijmuiden to the ban? Anybody have some definite answers on whats going on?? Jim & Cathy
  4. Every cruise before about 2005 when they started eliminating things like the "midnight buffet". Cruising pre 2005 was a pleasure, you were treated great, your server knew everyones name at the table before you sat down. It was a great luxury experience. Today it is herding cattle, thats why we stay with the smaller ships. My first cruise was Celebrity Zenith 1992.... nothing has matched it since. Jim & Cathy
  5. IMHO... cruises depend on many things.... Length, Time of year, Cruise line, Itinerary and Size of ship. Depends on what you are looking for? If you are looking for a party... take a short Carnival Cruise on a big ship. Longer cruises on smaller ships to exotic places are older & quieter. Big ships have all the bells and whistles (ice rinks, go cart tracks etc) hold 6,000 and you are like sardines. All depends on what you like.
  6. So, I've sailed all 3... mostly RCCL. To me Celebrity is a touch more upscale from RCCL & NCL. RCCL is the most of the 3 geared more to family & kids. Was just on NCL Spirit Hawaiian Islands to French Polynesia.... ship was definitely adult oriented. Much depends on 1) length of cruise... longer=(older cruisers) less kids, 2) time of year (holiday) when kids are out of school, 3) Itinerary, 4) BIG ONE... Size of ship.. The new mega ships (which I personally hate) are geared to family and have EVERYTHING imaginable on board from go cart tracks to ice rinks and packed in like sardines. I personally prefer the ships under 100,000 tonnage. If I compared same size ship, same cruises, same time.... I would take Celebrity. It all depends on what you are looking for!!! We are mid 60's and tend to shy away from kids, big ships with all the bells and whistles and like 10plus day cruises. We just want quality service. As I started, we cruise mostly RCCL but pick and choose carefully what we want. Just my opinion here, good luck!!
