Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. <koolaid man voice> Oh Yeah! <koolaid man voice/> We are going on this one in 2 weeks! Will be reading along as always. Thanks!
  2. As I think I mentioned previously, on our first NCL and Alaska in May, we bought a $250 CruiseNext, declined the $100 OBC, and received another $250 CruiseNext instead. (Yes, I am way behind, but catching up.) Thanks for the review. Looking forward to the Princess cruise as we have not done one of those yet.
  3. I think this is the one we booked also, but could not go because it was too hazardous. The ship got as close as it could, which looked close, but Google Maps said the edge of the glacier was still 7 miles away. Hard to figure.
  4. Yeah, I'm way behind and this is probably already discussed. Our first NCL and Alaska was in early May. We bought 1 $250 Cruise Next "thing". It was on the last sea day so we declined the $100 OBC and got another $250 CN "thing" instead (only paying $250 total). Knew we couldn't use them in 2024, but something came up with $100 credits for each of us when we returned. They were expiring in late July, maybe, so we booked a 2025 LA cruise. It was a double up, and we were able to use both $250's and both $100's to put $700 down. Worked out pretty well for us!
  5. Hey, alright, we did this cruise in May, Seward to Vancouver. It was our first NCL and first Alaska. Really enjoyed it. NCL "Free at Sea" worked out great for us. Flew in a couple of days early and ride shared and walked around Anchorage. Go see the earthquake park, it's very interesting. A ride share guy gave us a bar / food recommendation of F Street Station. We sat at the bar by the kitchen area. Had a great meal and atmosphere. Lot of locals we talked to also. Flights back for us were at 2030 from Vancouver to Seattle, and then 2330, I think, to Austin arriving 0620 on a Tuesday. I couldn't have really gotten better tickets for arrival in Austin any other time. They had some, but they were early in the morning on Monday, which we could not have made. This should be fun!
  6. We don't mind it too much since it's close (4 hours) and the price is right. We are also going on Jubilee next year (February, I think) since the transatlantic was cancelled. Also the 2 week southern Caribbean in October.
  7. We just did our first Alaska and first NCL in May. My wife and I have 15-18 Carnival cruises or something like that. NCL / Alaska was a nice change. Our usual port is Galveston, and a few times New Orleans.
  8. Hey, we will be the Jewel for the May 8-15 cruise. First NCL and first Alaska.
  9. In December there were also separate lines for entering the building and all the way through. There was also a separate waiting area.
  10. We too are Carnival cruisers taking our first NCL and first Alaska cruise in early May on the Jewel, Seward to Vancouver. Just yesterday, we snuck in our -2 flight deviation (75 days out today), booked a hotel near the airport, and booked a bus to Seward on embarkation day. Looking forward to more tips in this thread. Thanks y'all!
