I found out the spa us open 8am - 8pm, I guess that's the reason we thought the spa was only open while in port.

I guess my main question is, if I buy a "on-board credit" can it be used anywhere on the ship, casino, spa, shops, etc...

My wife and I are sailing on the Jewel in Jan. and I was wanting to surprise her with a couple of the pre-paid credits. I was thinking I would get her a $100 to the spa and a casino credit as well as a on-board credit (she can use for shopping, bingo, etc..). I guess my first question is, is it worth it to purchase the pre-paid credits? Second, should I buy all the credits separate or could I just purchase a on-board credit and then she can use it anywhere?

On a side note, if I remember right, our first (and only) cruise was last year and we took a 3 night to the Bahamas and it seems like the spa was only open while we were in port. Granted the 2 full days we were on the cruise both days were spent in port so is the spa only open during daily business hours?

Thanks in advance for any advice....

We will be cruising to Belize in Jan. and have booked a cave tubing excursion. I really want to see the Howler Monkeys, what's the chance we will see/hear the monkeys during the tour?

Thanks in advance
