Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. We have two cruises this year book on CCL for the first time since 2016 as well. One is on the Horizon in September so I'm going to follow along!
  2. Grand Turk is easy to just walk off the ship and have a beach day. No excursion needed. Margaritaville is right there or you can walk down the beach to Jack's Shack.
  3. I think this thread will become more busy after final payment in January as people are firmly committed to go. We are planning a laid back relaxed vacation. No real plans other then sleeping in and beach days. We just did NE and Canada on MSC this fall and thats pretty much what we did but swap beach days for walking around the ports (and DH getting a beer in each port LOL).
  4. We toured w this company yesterday.(9/30) Picked us up at the ship promptly. We actually got off a bit early and the young man doing the tour was already there w a sign w our name on it. We signed up for the Fort Louisbourg. The vehicle was very clean and in good condition. Our driver was very chatty and told us a lot about the area on the drive. We stopped at the light house on the way there for some amazing scenery. When we arrived at the fort we had pre paid for tickets w the taxi company. So our driver walked in w us and got that taken care of. Driver went back to wait at the car while we explored the fort. Took about 2 hrs to walk around it. It was a beautiful day sunny and 70. After we finished we met our driver in the parking lot and he drove us back to the ship. He offered to drop us off at a good restaurant or whatever but we just elected to go back to the ship for lunch. We had a great experience and would definitely recommend. I did have to call a few times to get ahold of someone for final payment but they are super busy this time of year. There is at least one ship in port everyday for Sept & Oct. Our driver told us they have 60 cars and all were in use today.
  5. Glad you made it in last night!! See ya in a few hours. πŸ™‚
  6. You didn't miss it......originally they were only going to be 7/8 day cruises and at some point they changed to the 10//11 day ones. I saw people talking about it on other groups....some folks were happy...longer cruise same price....some not so happy...can't take off that much time at work etc....
  7. Thanks! I have been mentally preparing for the worst and hoping for the best! LOL We will be getting on when you getting off next Sunday. Have a great trip!
  8. Yeah I was looking at his site a month or so ago and it was fine but now it's just a 404 Error message.
  9. Has anyone done the drop off/pick up of a car at the Avis on State Street in Brooklyn NY? We live plan to do a one way rental to get to and from home (Much cheaper then parking or taking the train). But the rental place doesn't exactly have the best reviews so just wanted to see if anyone had done it recently?? We plan to take an Uber/Taxi to and from the rental place and the port. Any issues getting one?
  10. Has anyone stayed in the Deck 11 Forward Cabins on the Venezia? We got an offer to upgrade and I'm not sure how I feel about it. We are currently on Deck 7 in the Middle. My Concerns: How much motion there will be that forward and that high up? Is it noisy? I'm can't quiet decide if the gym plays a part or not? I'm not sure how directly above the cabins it's located. Thought? Opinions? Thanks.
  11. OMG THANK YOU for posting the Toms Port Guides!! Getting alot of ideas. πŸ™‚
  12. Those that did the mail run….did you stay on the boat the whole time out and back? or did you get off at any islands and catch the next ferry to get back?
