Fuel Surcharge ($15 daily) and Gratuities ($18 daily) are charged after boarding. . You'll have to call MAS Customer Service for answers about B2B procedures.

According to cruisetimetables.com: Progreso 0800-1600 Cozumel 0900-1700. Key West 1200 -1800. Cruisemapper has the dates posted, but not the hours. For our July 16th sailing, it appears that Islander is the only ship calling in Progresoo and there will be only two ships in Cozumel. 😃

What 'deceptive' extra charges? Gratuities and fuel surcharges are no different than any other cruise line and are addressed on the MAS webpage. . People expect the Westin accommodations and Sardi's dining for Best Western and Outback prices.

That is correct. That lot is for the Peanut Island Ferry and passengers. Not MAS passengers trying to save a few bucks. Also, there is no security. . Look into a stay and park plan at a local hotel. Or park at a local grocery store/shopping center and hope for the best.

There isn't one. Any booking modifications, add-ons, etc. past your initial booking are handled through customer service. Which, I suspect is a third-party provider. Be patient when calling. .

What was the rental price for SCUBA gear? . Would I be correct to assume $40 is for a one-tank/single dive?

Yep. I suspect the PTB at MAS outsource much of their advertising and customer service and NO ONE is bothering to pay attention to the published results. Your notation about (non-existent) $149 Islander fares and the Blender Cup image in the beverage package being examples. .. Hopefully they GYST soon!

You may want to try a mock booking online before throwing MAS under the bus. Base fares are cheap. Taxes and port fees, charged PP are the same no matter what. . For some mysterious reason the fare is usually the same no matter which promotion is running. The exception to this was using GovX for the 'Heroes' promo which actually was significantly more expensive.

Drink menus from May 2023 are pinned at the top of the thread.

Do a mock booking.

It appears that since Carnival registers and software are already onboard and programmed, MAS is simply recycling that program. Limited choices, no coffee drinks, 15 max per day, time restrictions, etc.

Nor are BC refills. Note the center image in the OP. 🍸 🤣

Yeah, I just found that on the MAS website. Ignore my guesses on the previous post. 🙃 . I like my boat drinks. Mrs Pr8hd might have 2 per day. Not worth it for us, especially when gratuities are NOT included. . Is the Blender cup included? 🤣 I'm going to guess that they are using Carnival's existing onboard software. .

This showed up in my email a short time ago. MAS Islander beverage package (All inclusive) has been published: $59 per day pp, for any/everything. Presumably gratuities are included.. NOTE: This is branded as the "Ultimate Package" - Other plans may or may not be forthcoming. . I like the wristbands used on MAS Paradise. That said, with two sea days on every sailing, this is not the worst deal afloat. Nothing was mentioned about requiring everyone in a cabin to have the package, 15 minute time restrictions and the like.
