Two Miracle Questions

[w8ing2cruz]

Can anyone tell me if you can use your sign and sail card for the casino on the Miracle. Do you have to sign up for the casino club or whatever it is called. Also, will the Florida Aquarium store our luggage after the cruise while we explore the aquarium? Thanks!

Yes, you can use your S&S card in the casino

No, you don't have to sign up for the Ocean Players Club

I believe I have heard the aquarium will hold your luggage while you are in the aquarium...

Let me expand on GC's response:

 

1. You can use your SnS card in the casino, for a fee.

2. You don't have to sign up for the Ocean Players club, but if you are a "regular" in the casino, there are perks for activating it. I know that my SIL had almost $200 in credits at the end of the trip.

3. I did see signs for luggage storage at the port.

 

And that was three Miracle questions!

Can't answer casino questions.....

 

As far as the aquarium, we are doing it before the cruise and I spoke with the aquarium and they said they will store our luggage while we are in there.

 

Hope that helps.

Thanks for your quick replies! You're right - it was three questions - and I'm a bean counter to boot!! Do you have specifics on the 'perks' you get when signing up for the Ocean Players Club and also, what fees are there to use your sign and sail card in the casino, a percentage or something? Thanks again! 4 days and counting!!!!!!!

We stored our luggage at the Carnival pier and they sold discount tickets to the Aquarium.

My SIL mostly played video poker and slots. She received cash credits which she applied toward her S&S bill at the end of the cruise. The more you play, the more you receive. By my estimates she put in about $700 but came out ahead, not including her Ocean Player credits.

 

I want to say the fee for cash out on your S&S card is 5%, but I can't be sure without looking at my S&S bill (which I think I have already disposed of). I found the cash machine in the casino to be equally as expensive.

When we departed the Miracle, Just as you are to exit the building there was an info/car rental booth. As other person said, they stored our bags for a small fee, that I forget but was not much. Also sold dicount admision tickets. It was in ship terminal. It was nice, but my 2-7-10 yr olds breezed threw in 1 hour, as after swimming with and snorkling around I quess they were just fished out. It was a cool-damp morning and water park part was closed.:( We were heading for hotel by noon easily. Wish we saved money. :confused: . If I was to do it again we rented a car pre cruise and did Ybor city and Clear water beach in one day and Busch one day. I would do Ybor after storing bags and would have spent whole day over in beach areas. Just MHO, hope you enjoy your cruise, it was Great. :)
