Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. We were supposed to be on this sail, we were packed and everything, then at midnight Jim woke up with a pulse at 200 and needless to say in 30 minutes we were at Methodist downtown and he had 9 nurses and a doctor hovering with IV's going everywhere. It was pretty scary, happy results they were able to cardiovert him and Wednesday we were home. This would have been our 6th time on Allure and 2nd since she came to Port of Galveston. Allure is my favorite Oasis Class maybe because of Samba Grill and Mamma Mia. I saw Mamma Mia on Broadway and the cast currently performing this show is the absolute best. I cannot praise their performance enough. We have debated doing the complete dining pkg several times and then we just end up doing a BOGO for night 2 somewhere, sometimes we add a Hibachi night on 4. I feel like Allure has the best variety of the specialty restaurants...probably because I consider Hooks a BIG FAIL so I don't miss it on Allure. I am glad you enjoyed Allure and I agree compared to staff and crew on all the sails we have done since the pause, Allure has the best for service and attitude and effort
  2. I cannot tell you about Explorer I was going to try her end of this month but switched to a shorter one on Independence. I did hear that the VOOM on Explorer the worse connectivity of any of the ships but I can't tell you I experienced that issue since haven't had a chance to sail on her. I have sailed Navigator once after the upgrade... which I liked Navigator but it wasn't my most favorite sail since I didn't care for my room/location and the toilet wouldn't flush half the time and it leaked because I was under the showers of the spa locker as the upgrade had some issues apparently. Anyways I LOVE ADVENTURE OF THE SEAS. She is all wood and brass, just beautiful, not much extra on her but what she has is perfect enough for me and I am so excited she is coming back to Galveston in a few months. I mainly do Oasis class, those are the ones I prefer but if I had to pick my next favorite class I think I would pick Voyager class over Quantum class or Freedom class.
  3. I just spent a week Aug 23-29 and absolutely not a single video poker machine in the casino on Quantum of the Seas. This was my 2nd Quantum ship, first being Odyssey the new one which is beautiful and had fantastic food and entertainment and the crappiest casino I had been in since Mariner... Until this last one Quantum of the Seas has to be the worse casino in Royal's fleet.
  4. We just got off Quantum on Aug 29th. And yes I think Ovation is the other RCCL ship up there right now
  5. We booked the Aug 22 sailing of Quantum and I haven't gotten any emails. I did browse the shore excursions 2 weeks ago and there weren't many left with availability. First time Alaskan cruise so I didn't realize I had to start early on on shore excursions, sometimes I wait until the day we board to decide if we are doing an excursion so I may be in trouble seeing a whale or a bear or an iceberg...
