Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Thanks for posting that ChrisMV......I might be Diamond, but I was going to cancel my cruise if I could not have my fish and chips at lunch. lol Fish and chips is the main reason to book a cruise. Hope it is still as good as the last time I ate it.
  2. Thanks Briton Line and Nitemare. Leaving March 15th so before St. Patrick's Day Parade.
  3. Nitemare...Queen Mary 2 departs on March 16, 2025. Maybe 15th. I will check before booking hotel. lol Wondered about hotel price as there is a St. Patrick's Day parade and hotels will be sold out and maybe raised prices. I think it would be fun to arrive at Red Hook by ferry. Just wondering now if the winter weather might be a factor. princeton123211...I know that uber is a reliable service and a good solution, but I have never used an uber. Do not have phone and even if I did, probably would not know how to use it. (Senior that is not into technology) If I was not using the ferry, I would probably reserve a car service..or use a taxi.
  4. Orv....January. Do not do Caribbean in November.
  5. Pilgrim70....Did some looking around and I thought it seemed like a good hotel also. Thinking of staying there before our Cunard voyage. Please let us know how it was. Been to Times Square area many times. Thinking of taking the ferry also. Just wondering how reliable ferry would be if there was a freak snow storm or a strike.
  6. ORV...This was on the Riviera (90% sure it was Riviera and not Marina) and February of probably 2016 (maybe 2017 as we went B2B to Caribbean every year). We were on B2B and could not get off in Miami at turnaround as we were quarantined. We were quarantined for 5 days, Doctor gave me Pepto Bismal and also antibiotics. After I got home I found out that I am allergic to some antibiotics...they give me diarrhea. I know the difference between viral and bacterial, but doctor on Oceania said I was to take the antibiotics for this. I am sure people on cc will remember this cruise happening. Those on the cruise will never forget it. Things got worse on the second cruise. Lots sick. When it was announced that we were heading back to Miami and ending the cruise 2 days early, there was quite a commotion. They flew in people from Head Office to explain it to us. Everyone talking and complaining in atrium. The ship had to be deep cleaned, so our cruise was over.. We had B3 so were put up at a DoubleTree in Miami for 2 nights. Higher up cabins were given better hotels. We were out by a highway with no restaurants around. Had Oceania air so had to wait for the day of our flights. That is the cruise we were on.
  7. You were probably on the same cruise as DH and I were on. Even though we were very careful with cleaning hands, I came down with noro. They kept us in our cabin, with the door taped with red tape, for 5 days and gave us very little food on plastic plates. When we got out we had to show card to get into restaurants. Never want to go through that again. Hope it is not that bad for those on board now.
  8. I am Canadian ( book with an extra 35% exchange rate) and can not believe you were able to get this cruise with an OC cabin for $18,000.00 for 2 people. My calculations make it for 1 person, and that is not with a single supplement. Your TA must be good, even though she did not cancel the cruise in December.
  9. Is Oceania still misting cabins and closets with disinfectant daily. Cabin is ok, but wondering what effect this would have on clothing. DH is worried that his suit and sports jackets (yes, he is the one dressed every night for dinner, show and dancing) might have a sticky feel or a disinfectant odor. Has anyone noticed this on their clothing. Final payment is coming up and we must make a decision. Not sure I want my clothing sprayed every day.
  10. From the email I was sent yesterday, looks like the Britannia Restaurant chairs do not have arm rests. I do not like to sit for a long meal without arm rests. The Queens Grill restaurant looks absolutely lovely, if indeed the colours are light green and beige. I will not be eating there, but hope to get a peek at it. Unless of course I completely avoid Queen Anne because I do not have a promenade deck to sit on.
