Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Dress shoes are bulky and heavy. We purchase used ones at a thrift store and just leave them on the ship at the conclusion of our cruise. On the two weeks following, we don't have to manage them for our casual touring days. At US $ 7 a pair they are a great value!
  2. We travel quite a bit, and are taking QM2 from NY to Southampton in May, and then spending two weeks in the UK, culminating in seeing Eric Clapton in Manchester. Since shoes are bulky and heavy, and we travel with minimal luggage, (ie carryons) we purchase our cruise shoes at a thrift store and then just leave them on the ship. We won't be using them in the UK, and DH brings a dark suit and two shirts and ties--he'll take smart/nice casual apparel for travel around the UK including the two shirts. Flying home with less than we took always works for us. Jeans are usually too heavy and take up too much room for us.
  3. Anyone know what the QM 2 May 5-12 2024 Gala themes are? TIA!
  4. We're going to Manchester to see Eric Clapton and getting there on the QM2 in May. Is it generally warm enough for shorts/skorts/swimsuits on deck during the day? Or should we pack a down jacket/hat/gloves/long pants for deck sitting? We try to travel with carryons and one suitcase to share, so attire is a concern for us. Thank you!
  5. We're interested in booking Sea Cow, but the water temp is expected to be 80F. Is it too cold to snorkel without a wet suit? Would hate to book and be unable to snorkel. TIA!
  6. uh oh....... could be a tough cruise....!
  7. My DH drinks only Pepsi! Can we buy Pepsi somewhere before we board? Thanks!
  8. Well, we are scheduled to board at 1:40, which gives us about four hours to taxi there! And given that embarkations are usually late... Any further suggestions now? TIA
  9. We are arriving at SeaTac June 3 at 10 am for a Pier 91 Alaska cruise that day. Since we have time to spare, suggested activities might be the Salmon Hatchery and/or the Underground Seattle Tour. We will each have a suitcase and backpack. Should we do one or other other on June 3 and the remaining one June 10 when we disembark? Our flight leaves SeaTac at 3:42 pm. Which one which day? Taxi or Uber, or is there a better way to get to one and then to or from the ship? Thanks!
  10. Lands End tankinis for sure. 14 top 12 bottom. ALWAYS fit--for the last 30 years. I live in a beach town, so will periodically buy either a new swim skirt or a top--no need to go through the horror of a fitting room!!!!! Yes, their 'sales' are phony, so buy at the end of the season.
  11. I have traveled the world alot (Military brat, and travel for my jobs), and my packing go to is INTERESTING large scale necklaces. I buy them when I travel, so I always have memories when wearing them, and seven cool necklaces pack in a zip lock bag and can bring smart looks to a few solid color ls tops. Add a pair (or two) of leggings and you're set for dinners. Jeans and those same tops layered with one vest and one pashmina and one scarf and I'm set to go.
  12. We just got back from the latest Doc appointment, and he gladly provided the Doctor's letter. Will wait another five days and then cancel. Thanks to all for their advice!
  13. We have been booked to cruise on Princess May 6-13, 2023. Husband had surgery April 10, then complications, so wasn't released from the ICU until April 16. Still experiencing pain and on serious medications. Also new passport hasn't arrived--big SNAFU with Dept of State/Passport Office. We bought the Princess Insurance, the regular not the premium. I have tried to decipher it and get answers, but to no avail! Can anyone help us with determining if we are able to use the Princess Insurance for either/both of this situations, so we can cancel and then rebook using the Princess credit? Thank you so much!
