Repost: CRUISE INFO with prices

Another silly question...........do these prices include the FOOD on board too - the different restaurant - locations to eat at ???????????   

I remember the "drink" cards.........etc..........but can't remember if the differnet types of foods are included............  the fun park............etc.....................the parties......to go too..............I know that if you  have licquor drinks - i'm sure those are extra........but just curious. 

Phyllis ALL food is covered-even snacks, other restaurants onboard ship and the midnight buffets.  The only extras are soft drinks (tea, lemonade type stuff is free) and alcohol.  There's a charge for bottled water too but you can bring some with you and add crystal lite to it if you want.

Phyllis -  I haven't looked at this particular ship to see what food services are available, but on the cruise we did in November there was an "upscale" restaurant onboard that required a $30 charge per person, but all other food services were included in our fees.

Our ship had the formal dining rooms available every night, with two of the six night being "semi-formal", the other nights were "cruise casual".  There was a buffet of some type going untl 2am.  Pizza available 24/7 and room service for sandwiches and the like was also available 24/7.

The $10 a day PER PERSON gratutity showed up on our portfolio on the first day of the cruise, it showed $70 for each of us - it really helped having that included from day one so that we could track our onboard expenses the entire cruise.  We did give our cabin steward an extra $50 on the last night / morning because she was great.

STEPH-had really long work day yesterday..trying to wake up and focus this morning...will read the  Carnival site...am sure will have to call you for help with decisions, but you already know we're in...have interview today or tomorrow for weekend work, for $$$

We are in.  I may choke on 400.00 in the same month, but I guess we will find a way.  We are trying to talk Kay, Tom's Sis, into going with us.  She is the major caretaker for the MIL, and deserves the break.

Can I split that 400.00 over 2 pay periods?  Does it have to be paid when you book, or can it  be over 2 weeks?

Que

Que it has to be paid when you book and I'm sure they take credit cards too.  Several people have expressed concern about getting the money in 30 days so I think I'll take a chance and book it towards the end of January so that will give everyone another 2 weeks to come up with it.

Hi I want to go but need a roomie for an inside cabin. I have my Tuxedo ready and I am a good dancer. I love cruises. My money ready now.

I am soooo bummed.  I was all ready to CALL YOU and say YES!!!!  And, then I realized something.  Hubby will be going back to a ship in September.  Right now we don't know which ship, what their schedule will be or even WHERE the ship will be located (as in, we might have to move AGAIN)...  So, I can't commit. 

However, I am adjusting our budget for 2010 so that I have money saved for a trip to TX before he goes back onboard a ship.  Don't know yet WHEN I'll be in TX, but I know I WILL be in TX at some point this year.  Hope to see as many of my peeps as possible then!!!

Y'all have fun on the cruise.  Think of me and take lots of pics!!

Someone has probably already asked this, but do you know, if two people are sharing a room, do we need to book together? Or can I book and pay my deposit, then my roommate book separately and pay their deposit?

I have no idea.  I'll put it on my list of questions to ask our cruise counselor next time I call her.
