Just making sure, you know it's cheaper for young kids, correct? The AI price for ages 4-11 is only $35. And even the 12-17 is $40. I'm just thinking if you're there for 5-6 hours, and ordered 2 things off the menu, with a couple of sodas for each person, you'd easily be right at the $35. I just wasn't sure if you knew it was cheaper for the young ones.

 

For us, and I'm not a drinker that much, we still did the AI so we didn't have to worry about it. We each had a couple of cocktails, and if they got watered down and warm, I just ordered a fresh one. Plus our son (who was 18, so he also had a few cocktails), ordered probably 4 orders of chips and guac. LOL! We also each ordered one entree, plus several snack things throughout or stay.

Thanks, we've been several times  and we do not eat or drink a lot at all. Maybe one drink and one water each plus we split nachos. So it does not price out anywhere near the AI costs. 

Is it possible to just grab transportation at the cruise port to one of the monkey/sloth hangouts without prebooking and just pay at the facility? 

We have visited Mr Sanchos several times  pre-covid while on land based vacations and did the pay as you go option and did not spend even close to the all inclusive pricing.  We will be taking our 3 grandkids on a cruise and would like to visit but again we would spend no where near the AI pricing ordering a la carte. Their website seems to really be pushing the AI option. Do they still allow PAYG?

Do they have bananas boats at either Paradise Beach or Mr. Sanchos?

So I called back when I got home from work but unfortunately all the cabins under the 30 hr sale were gone for this sailing. I did however price match into OV for the same price we originally paid for inside.

Has anyone seen this on any other ships?

Just to follow up, I called Carnival today. At first the rep said I didn't get the request in during the 30 Hr sale and I pointed out to her the same was still going on and includes my sailing. She asked if I was willing to give up my current cabins since we're next door to each other. I said yes I was fine with that. She put me back on hold again and then came back on to say ES is not eligible for price drop using that promotion. Oh well, I'm not upset or anything. It was worth a shot lol[emoji4]

Thanks @sweetsforjay I'll give them a call tomorrow. We can always use an extra $200!

I just tried and got a denial email literally 30 seconds after submitting lol

I booked ES for Nov 10th back when they had the$50 deposits and 2 category upgrade. The 30 hour sale is $200 cheaper but you don't pick your own cabin. If I fill out the price protection form, will they let me give up my cabin and get the difference in OBC? I don't really care about m cabin location.

I will be cruising on the Elation with family ranging in ages from 65 to 6. We'll be in Cozumel from 9 to 4 and I thought Chankanaab would be a good choice for the day since it has a little bit of everything . However, my sister would really like her kids to do the Stingray encounter thru the ship. Has anyone done this excursion thru Carnival? If so, does it leave early enough that we would still have time to take a taxi to Chankanaab for at least a couple of hours? Would be we better off taking a taxi to do Stingray City on our own and then taking a taxi to Chankanaab ? Also, I know the two in our group in their 60s will not want to do the encounter---will they still have to pay?

TIA

I just heard of that myself and tried it for the first time today. So far, I'm not impressed. My t-zone was still shiny by mid day but I'll give it a few more chances before I chunk the bottle.

Thanks for the reply, I was thinking about giving it a try , but I probably won't now.

I use that too.

It is the same as Smashbox Photo Finish primer and it is a well known substitute!:)

 

Oh, I forgot....my husband dressed up like a zombie for Halloween with full zombie makeup. He gave me a funny look when I put the Monistat "primer" on him but he thanked me later when his face stayed on all night and was easy to remove later!

I have never tried it , but I have also heard that Milk of Magnesia is an excellent primer for oily skin that will not aggravate it if you are also acne prone.

I love Moroccan Oil products, I have naturally curly hair the texture of Tia and Tamara Mowry and even though I relax it I still have to flat iron it almost daily. I have found that Moroccan Oil products cut my blow dry and flat iron time in half. I also like to use it when I'm just throwing my hair back in a ponytail after washing and not straightening it it at all. It's made with an all natural essential oil so your hair is shiny without being greasy. Their products are good for all hair types too, I have found just as many of my white friends use it as I do. In fact, I have a friend who is a manager of a multi ethnic hair salon and it is their product of choice. And I love Carol's Daughter Hair Milk when I decide to rock my natural curls in the summer when the humidity is espeically high.

I have tried just about everything you can think of both by prescription and over the counter. I recently went organic and have noticed a marked difference. I love, love , love Bubble and Bee organics line of products and the cucumber facial cleanser for oily/acneic skin has been worked wonders for my skin!:D
