I'm talking about playing the Slot Machines......I've always heard that the Cruise Lines count on the Casino revenue to help them make their quota for each sailing.

So, has anyone ever really won a substantial amount from playing the slots?

The Atlantis Aquaventure....... I see it online through 'Resort For a Day', for $150 each. We will be there Friday March 16th. I'm contemplating purchasing it now online, or just waiting until we get there and walk up. I understand it's a gamble if we wait, but it's a good chunk of money that we're not 100% sold on forking out. Is this time of year considered to be a busy time? Does anyone know if it sells out often? Will it still be the same price if we did a walk up?

Wow, a lot of mixed replies......I guess, as like everything else in life, to each their own. I think we're going to go with the water park at Atlantis! :)

I tried this on the Bahamas Board, but nobody replied, so hopefully someone on this Board has had experience with the Booze Cruise.

I read it on the Island Marketing / Bahamascruiseexcursions website. A boat cruise with music and unlimited drinks....which sounds like a fun time to us. Has anyone booked through this website or experienced this excursion?

We come back on the 11th. Oh well, have a great trip!

Thanks, and you as well :)

I was wondering if there are any stores to buy beer & liquor at? Or is it just Margaritaville and Jack's Shack to choose from, if we want to drink that day?

Or could we go somewhere (like a Staples, etc...) to use their internet & printer, after the cruise? Spirit's website says that it'll cost $$ to print our Boarding Passes, from a self check-in kiosk, at the airport.....we've always just used the kiosk at the airport for no charge. Did this change? Or do they mean it'll cost money if we go up to the desk and have an employee check us in?

TIA

Hi

 

Here is the link from the Carnival site showing the amounts that will be withheld. https://help.carnival.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3401/related/1/session/L2F2LzEvdGltZS8xNTE4OTcyNTkwL3NpZC9mVVhxV0dQR2I2Q3AwMFQzY2hNMktYZ3pUdFY3QXE0eF9LJTdFVnlmUGFqQVhxUWFTN3JUY0RDWnZFUEswblFuNkJDMTB3ZGpHYzZQQVl6RVhGQm1ZSW5sSUpOTSU3RVdHR2Vlc09xbWlXdTBhbzFtaGM3Q3gwdnliVnBnJTIxJTIx

It looks like in your case it will be 75% of the total fare.

 

hope this helps

Yes, it did help......thank you :)

We had to cancel - medical - in December 4 days before we sailed. We were booked Early Saver.

We had the Carnival Insurance. We got everything back except the cost of the insurance so we spent $200 to get back $2,000

Wow, that was a good return. But that was a medical reason, so I'm sure you had to produce documents from the Dr, to prove it......but this wouldn't be medical, so we probably will just get a future cruise credit. (I also purchased the vacation protection)

I called Carnival to ask what the penalty would be if I had to cancel our upcoming cruise. We're 21 days out. Penalty would be $844.50. How do they calculate what you get refunded and what you have to pay?

You can order Powerade from the Fun Shops, don't have to bring it on board.

Thanks for all your input. I liked the idea of bringing a Bubba Keg. Actually, some of your ideas helped me think of a good plan....I enjoy my coconut rum with blue Powerade, so I thought maybe I could buy a 6 pack of Powerade and just mix the drinks in the Powerade bottles.....I also have a little cooler bag that looks like a purse, so I could fit a few pre-mixed bottles in the purse with some ice and have drinks for quite a while between cabin visits. See, it helps to put our heads together and brainstorm :)

I've bought the Cheers package before and thought later that it really wasn't worth it for me personally. This time I was thinking of ordering a bottle of Malibu Rum for our cabin, so that I can just make a drink here and there, when I feel like one. The bottle is around $80......expensive bottle, IMO, but ok..... do a lot of people really purchase these bottles? I'm trying to get some honest opinions, to help me justify whether this is a good alternative idea, or not. Sometimes the wisdom of others is helpful, I find.

Topher is awesome!

Awww, that's a great picture! I will be doing the same :)

I think I saw your name from a previous thread. I believe we are on the same cruise. We leave March 3rd on the Conquest. Did you join our facebook page?

I don't think so....we leave on the 11th

 

Yes, We love Topher! Play with him every time we go to Grand Turk! Above is a link to my video that shows Topher. You can scroll to his part in the video. Great dog and LOVES tourists! Have a great cruise!

Hey, what a great video!! Very entertaining. I always wondered what a cove balcony was.... thanks. Great shots of Topher .... he sure likes to dig!

I don’t like leaving my dog either, luckily we usually do Grand Turk and spend the day at Jack’s. My dog is also a golden doodle so it’s nice to watch the shared manuerisms.

I bet the similarities warm your heart. Any type of reminder is good for a quick fix.

 

We all love Topher!!!

Cute picture!

Topher is a great dog, but please beware. There are several stray dogs on this beach, my husband had a broken ankle and was laying on chair relaxing when Topher and a stray started to fight over my husbands chair (they both wanted the food my husband was eating), he could not move to get up and out of the way. He was injured, we are not sure which dog bit him, but one of them did and broke the skin, he was bleeding all over. A worker came down to break up the fight and to give my husband some towels to wrap his arm. The owner did apologize, but my husband will never go to Jack's Shack again.

Oh wow, that's terrible! I will definitely be alert, if other dogs are around. Thanks for the heads up. I hope your husband was ok after that. Dog fights can be a horrible experience.

On one cruise we were on very few people ventured down to Jacks. Topher hung out by me all day! It was awesome! He sat by my chair, every 15 minutes or so he would "catch the digging bug" and tear off to the shore line and dig a couple holes, then come back and sit by my chair again. When we went in the water, he came in with us and swam along side us the whole time. He even came and sat under our table when we went up for lunch. No idea why he decided to hang out with me that day, the 4 other times I had been there it was a quick pet and off he would go!

Wow, lucky you! It sure must've been hard to leave him behind, after him showing you so much loyalty!

The only one thing that holds me back from being totally excited about my upcoming March cruise, is the fact that I'll miss my dog terribly. I just recently read about Topher the dog, at Jack's Shack in Grand Turk. I will definitely be heading down the beach to get my fix and give this guy some hugs. Has anyone else had the pleasure?

Ok, all this animal lover needed to read was that there's a dog to pet!! I will definitely be heading to Jack's Shack now, to pet Topher!

We're also on the Conquest in March. Can't wait!

We have booked a car with Alamo in Miami and will return the car at the Alamo Port Everglades office at 1700 Eller Drive. We were informed they have a shuttle to the port. It looks like it may be a mile to the port.[/quote

 

Perfect! That's all I needed to know....thank you :)

Thanks for the replies. I just booked with Alamo and was able to make the pick up & drop off at both port and airport locations. I'm sure it won't be too hard to get to the ship from their Port office location.
