Terpsfan1 Posted November 26, 2008 #1 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I am interested in making reservations for a trip with Captain Marvins, but have a concern. In the reservation form it asks not only for my credit card number but the four digit security number on the back. I have never been asked for this number when making transactions over the interenet and am a bit uncomfortable giving all of this information. Has anyone else booked with this operator and done this? Thanks.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ren1216 Posted November 26, 2008 #2 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Ive booked with them twice, no problems. Great choice! If you are uncomfortable (and I can't blame you, having had a credit card compromised online myself recently), they have a toll free number that you can call to make your reservation. The number is for reservations only, any questions you have should be emailed. I've always gotten prompt answers to my emails, very friendly and helpful staff.

teltrainer Posted November 26, 2008 #3 Share Posted November 26, 2008 The good news is they are asking for the security number to confirm you actually have the card and are not someone who just stole the credit card number off a paper transaction somewhere. This past year I have had to provide the security number multiple times during internet purchases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinkletoes4445 Posted November 27, 2008 #4 Share Posted November 27, 2008 We always use CM's and have had no problems, so don't worry about a thing. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMWTim Posted November 30, 2008 #5 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Check my sig for a report of CM. No worries as far as the security number goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chell-y-Bell Posted December 1, 2008 #6 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I've heard really good things about Captain Marvin's. How far in advance do you need to make a reservation? This is in general and not necessarily specific to CM. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is in general and not necessarily specific to CM.Thanks! It's been a long time ago, but I think for our first time with CM's (we were on a ship) I made the reservation about 5 or 6 months in advance. Not sure you need to do it that early, but I did. We now visit there for land vacations, so I tend to wait until closer to the time we'll be there (since we do the excursions on days there are no ships in port). :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chell-y-Bell Posted December 3, 2008 #8 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Thanks twinkletoes, I'll try to do it about 6 months in advance just to be sure. I'm a first time cruiser and this is the first vacation I've ever planned, so I'm a tad clueless! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arubamoose Posted December 3, 2008 #9 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Have booked with Captain Marvin several times. Top notch tour operator. Best to Stingray City. Good, fast boats. They timed our arrival to both the Coral Gardens and Stingray City just as the hoardes were leaving. Nothing like snorkeling with the stingrays and a thousand or so of your closest friends!

I am looking at Capt Marvins for our April trip. What time was your tour? I was thinking of doing the 11:30 Stingray and Coral Gardens. For sting ray area where you able to walk on the sand bar or did you have to swim? Also, how far is he from the ship dock- did you walk it- how long did it take you to get to his store front? Thanks in advance for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
