For the slot machines in the casino perhaps? ;)

Have a great cruise!

Dont know where you read that but you dont need quaters. They are heavy and miserable and you cant buy anything with them. You can use dollars in the quater slots in the casino so leave the quaters at home and load up with the big $$$$ . Have a great cruise.

You hold the roll of quarters in your hand and then clench your fist. Real handy when you have to fight with chair hogs or those pushy people in elevators.....:rolleyes:

Don't forget the ones fighting to get into the dining room first! ;)

Cheap room service tips? $0.25 per bag at the luggage drop off?

 

Yes, that will ensure that your luggage arrives after dinner smelling of seaweed!

 

Seriously, you don't need to bring your own quarters. The casino slots take bills (big ones:eek: ) and there aren't any vending machines on board.

Depending on which ship you are on it may be for laundry. On the Maasdam the machine used quarters, same with some Princess ships. Or are you going into the Arcade.

 

The arcade uses your SeaPass card. The quarters must be to leave a trail from your table in the Windjammer so you can find your way back.

I remember someone mentioning the roll of quarters also. I think it was for the trip getting to the cruise ship for your kids. Give them the quarters and every time they irritate you (or something like that) they have to give you one back.

Cherub, we used this tip when we travelled from Indiana to Omaha with our 4 and 6 year old grandchildren. Every time they asked how much farther, or they argued, we got a quarter from their stash. It worked like a dream! By the end of the round trip they each ended up with $9.50 out of the $10.00!
