Long story but I can’t get a credit card right now. Looks like I’ll be doing cash. I just thought maybe debit would be easier than carrying that much cash. Oh well. Thanks all.

ok....... here's another option:

Try to determine a ball park amount you will spend on the cruise (ie. drinks,gratuties, or anything charged to your room by the S&S card).

Lets say its $500? Try to determine how much you plan on spending total (cash and travel and cruise) . Now lets say your planning on spending $800 total.

Go to your local bank and get a prepaid VISA for the $500 and get the remaining $300 in $20's and $5s and $1's (tip money for room service and valet and other people who help you). You can attach your debit card to your acct now and then as soon as you board the ship go to guest services and have them remove it and add the prepaid VISA. We have done this exact scenario the last 5 cruises with NO problems. I try to avoid using my debit card unless I feel 100% sure its legit like a well know store in Cozumel or Grand Caymens. I put my extra cash in the safe and and get it out when need be.

If you go thru your intial money on that card you can go settle the night before you leave. They will slip a statement under your door if you happen to go negative. Believe me they wont let you leave being in the hole. LOL

Good Luck and have a awesome cruise!!

We just returned on Sat & had 7422 which is on the Empress deck. We actually had two beds together.

Thanks for the pics!!

We booked a regular balcony room back in early Feb. I kept watching the prices go down so I called my PVP & he told me since we didn't book Early Saver we couldn't get the OBV but he could upgrade our room. I about passed out when he gave me this option!! :)

Can anyone tell me if have had 7422 or 7425 on the Triumph lately? These are the 2 wrap around Aft balconies on the Empress deck.

I know there are pics and videos out there but most seem to be from 4-5 years ago and none since the dry dock last year.

Has the TV been upgraded to a flat screen?

Are there 2 loungers on the balcony?

Is there still a couch in these?

Leaving in 12 days and cant wait to check out this big ole balcony ;)

We loved the Elation but I would give the Paradise a try simply because it replaces Progresso with Grand Cayman.
