Cougardave Posted July 3, 2012 #1 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Last time we cruised they gave away decks of cards. Do they still do this? Or should I bring my own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golfadj Posted July 3, 2012 #4 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Limited number available so ask early in cruise for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yvonne Posted July 3, 2012 #5 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Are they just regular 'ol playing cards like you can buy in the store? Or, do they have the Carnival logo and/or picture of the ship on the back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserNC Posted July 3, 2012 #6 Share Posted July 3, 2012 The deck that we got had the Carnival logo on them. They were those plastic see thru type I don't find them to be very good for playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unionville3 Posted July 3, 2012 #7 Share Posted July 3, 2012 We always pack a deck of cards "just in case" and became quite addicted to playing in the Red Frog Pub each evening on our recent Magic cruise. We wanted to buy a deck with Carnival Magic on the cards to have as a memory of our trip. The only one's available to purchase in the store had cocktail recipes or Caribbean islands - we were surprised. All of that "Carnival Souvenir stuff" and no cards!

Malinger Posted July 3, 2012 #8 Share Posted July 3, 2012 They were for sale in the casino for a dollar a pack on the legend in early June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenjiRodney Posted July 3, 2012 #9 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Yu can also buy a deck that has been used in the Casino for 1 dollar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieLovesMickey Posted July 3, 2012 #10 Share Posted July 3, 2012 We just got off the Miracle, and the decks of cards weren't available until the middle of the cruise. My DD's asked every day. We weren't sure where they came from...:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamaCama Posted July 3, 2012 #11 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Got a new deck of cards on miracle the first day, about an hour after we got on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getfuzzy Posted July 3, 2012 #12 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Every time I have asked, I have been told to go to the gift shop. I'm excited to hear some of you can get them. Interesting about Casino cards. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nlktx49 Posted July 3, 2012 #14 Share Posted July 3, 2012 On the Magic in February, got two decks of cards from Guest Services. I wanted a postcard with the Magic on it, but they said they didn't have any, I'd have to go to the Gift Shop. The ones they had there were different ports, none with the Magic on them.

3Statesmom Posted July 3, 2012 #15 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Last year, on both the Dream & the Paradise, we bought the 'used' decks in the casino for $1. They never seemed to have any at guest services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaceyMom Posted July 3, 2012 #16 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I have never bought any cards on Carnival. Just go to the service desk and they are more than happy to give you a deck! All you have to do is ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare AtSeaWithChris Posted July 4, 2012 #17 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Last time we cruised they gave away decks of cards. Do they still do this? Or should I bring my own? We were on the conquest last week and I asked for a deck and the guy handed me 2 decks. That was on Wednesday. A friend was able to get a deck on Saturday as well, the last day at sea.

nealstuber Posted July 4, 2012 #20 Share Posted July 4, 2012 We bought ours for $1 in the casino they also sell them 2 for a dollar in our local dollar tree. I think carring them would increase our total checked bag lbs by 0.0023% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txstarla Posted July 4, 2012 #22 Share Posted July 4, 2012 THey were out at he service desk when we were on the Magic, so they sent me to the gift store where they gave me a deck. YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e150club Posted July 4, 2012 #23 Share Posted July 4, 2012 We have got them at the pursers/GS desk but the used decks from the casino are better quality for a buck. They are punched sometimes on the sides sometimes in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
