Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. This entire thread is full of people who love Mardi Gras. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2996220-need-help-deciding-between-vista-and-mardi-gras/
  2. Im a bit new to the Gift card thing and 252 pages is a lot to read so I'll ask a question probably asked on page 14 of the thread. Can I put $1000 in gift cards on my account a few days before the cruise as gambling money and cash out anything I don't lose from the slot machines?
  3. There is an awful lot of customer generalization in this thread.
  4. I consider myself fortunate to have been grandfathered into Platinum years ago before they counted nights and counted cruises. 10 cruises did it. And two of mine were 2 night cruises to no-where.
  5. I’m buying all the gift cards I need, to apply to payments when due, for my cruise final payment, beverage and WiFi packages. I’ll save $500 plus earn credit card points. I think the $9 a year AARP membership is worth it.
  6. Drinks are hugely profitable and cruise lines are in business to maximize shareholder profit. It’s a balancing act. The offer of free drinks sells cabins but giving free drinks away reduces potential beverage revenue.
  7. Thank you. Assumption confirmed. I’ll use the gift cards for final payment, drinks, and Wi-Fi.
  8. I want to book a few Carnival excursions for our September Mediterannean cruise. I have AARP Gift Cards which I got at a 10% discount and am considering using these I'm afraid if the excursions get cancelled by Carnival at the last minute due to any number of possible reasons, I will be refunded by gift card, which I don't want. Should I pay for excursions by credit card so I get refunded by credit card if they are cancelled?
  9. In this case, she's not asking for anything that isn't hers too. We don't have separate finances. My money is her money too. She's my wife. That's how we roll. I just make the travel arrangements. Nothing stopping her from buying the cheers package with the same joint credit card if she really wanted to. I'd rather convince her than ignore her.
  10. Is this true? I only have to buy the package for her if I already have comp casino drinks? That would be great!!! Excellent compromise. Can someone confirm this please?
  11. I remember also. My first cruise was on Tropicale in 1985 or 86. All those souvenirs look familiar to me.
