I thought all cruise food was included!!

Not to "high-jack" this thread, but we had dinner last year on the Sea with a couple whose TA told them "you do not need any cash, all you need to do is charge everything to your cruise card"....so they were a bit surprised when the local ladies on the street-side in Grenada would not take their cruise card for payment of assorted spices and trinkets.

 

 

LOL!!! :D :D :D

Were you able to keep a straight face when they said that? Did they use a TA or book themmselves? A good TA would have explained that to clients who never cruised before. If they booked through the cruise line directly, they probably wouldn't have known that.

I didn't even bother to say anything since this was my business partner and he knew it all. They didn't use a TA, booking everything on the cheap on the Internet but I didn't know that until afterwards. After that, he made fun of me every time I was leaving for a cruise. Oh well. I'm retired now. :)

:eek: I almost feel sorry for them...... almost

Don't feel sorry for them. This was my partner and he made the same $$ I was so I knew he could afford it. Heck, with my income from the business at the time, I bought a condo in southern CA for an investment. :) He could afford a couple of tours.
