That's also why you can't use the drink packages in port. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mz-s Posted April 10 #5 Share Posted April 10 There is a small straw market sort of thing at HMC, similar to what you find in Freeport although even smaller and more quaint. Fitting the theme of HMC. The last time I bought something on HMC in the market - granted it's been years ago. I was pretty sure they wrote me a paper receipt for the purchase and it was later charged on my S&S account once they got back onboard and processed all the paper receipts.

You can use your sign & sail card in the indoor gift shops and at the bars but not at the straw market. We were there in January and I used my sign & sail at a gift shop and to buy drinks and paid cash at the straw market. Carnival did have the payment information listed in the Fun Times for HMC so that was helpful to know to bring cash for the straw market. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jamman54 Posted April 10 #7 Share Posted April 10 These are cash only..... Everything else you use your Sail & Sign card. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only been to HMC once and I couldn't use my s & s but looks like from Jam's post it's a certain areas. I only remember the area in the pic he posted.

CruiseHealing Posted April 10 #9 Share Posted April 10 I was there last year and bought a real nice HMC t-shirt. I used my Sign & Sail card. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll bring cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
