Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I came to recommend the Bourbon Orleans as well. We've stayed there a few times and love it.
  2. I’ve seen video where the ship appears to lose power before it hits the bridge. Early reporting is they lost ability to control the ship. So tragic.
  3. Hi! I live in NJ so can't help much with the hotel- but I see a lot of people book hotels in NJ. NYC hotels can be very expensive! That said, I've cruise out of NY a few times, and it really is a sight sailing out of the city. The best IMO!
  4. I didn't see this until now. I currently have $500 OBC, which I would lose. But seeing a Terraza balcony for the same price we paid for a terrazzo interior. Not sure what to do...
  5. Oh no you are right! Let me reach out to mods to see if they can fix it
  6. Deck five - whichever side doesn't have the BBQ restaurant (forget which side has it). We sat out there and read often. Hardly any traffic and most that did come through were quiet and respectful
  7. That seems awfully expensive for an oversized float. Hope it comes with alcohol or something
  8. We bring a small funnel with us. We order shots while on board and pour them in a water bottle. On HMC, there is free lemonade and ice tea we use for mixers.
  9. In a book of faces group I am in, someone posted a picture of a left behind crock pot someone was trying to get onboard. That was a new one for me.
  10. I don't recall ever having a shelf in the shower... I always store the shampoo / conditioner bottles on their soap dispenser. But I like the idea of the mesh bag and already have one at home.
  11. Cruised to the Bahamas with my daughter without my husband once- nothing was needed.
  12. Looks like your questions have been answered. I just wanted to add that I went to Bimini twice last year. This is a port where I would skip an excursion. Once you get off the ship, if you walk down the end of the pier (or wait for the excursions to clear out and you can take the free trolly) there is a shopping area right there. There is a beach there but it wasn't clear to me if you could swim or sit on the beach for free. Also right there are taxis. We took a taxi to town and it was $5 per person each way. They dropped us off "in town" which was about a 15-2 minute ride. In town was a little shopping area, hole in the wall restaurants, and a beautiful free beach. In the alternative, lots of people rent golf carts and drive the island themselves. BImini is a beautiful island and the people are great. A lot of people don't care for it but I like it better then Nasssau/ Freeport.
  13. We sailed Magic in the fall last year. I didn't want to mess around with the busses (we had cruised earlier in the year and there were huge lines getting back to the lots) so we parked at Dominion Towers on Waterside Drive. I pre-purchased it and its about a ten minute walk along the water. We'd park there again if cruising in Norfolk.
  14. I checked my confirmation, and can't find the rate we were booked under. Maybe it was a casino rate, but we haven't spent a dime in the casino in about 8 years.
