Gosh .. so many details.

#1 - This tipping thing ... ... can you do cash or do you have to put in on your room key? If you put it on your room key do they give you something to put in the envelope? Do they give you envelopes??

#2 - For the three day cruise / prob. not doing Palo's / what clothes do we need to pack? Pants / shorts? How nice to we need to dress for dinner? What about the kids .. they really don't have "dress" clothes??

#3 - Are there ANY excursions that a two (almost three) year old could do and enjoy?

#4 - How much money per person should we bring for the stuff that is not included? It's 2 adults and 2 kids ages 6 and 2.

#5 - Any important tips or items we should bring?

I have read the sites like Barbs and MMCG .. just feel overwhelmed by the little details.

thanks

yes u can do cash or put it on the card if u put it on the card they give u a slip to show that u have paid your tip to put in the enveloope money gets credited to servers account.


nice dress will be ok like pants and a polo shirt .

spending money depends on who u r ,
like to drink ?
shop ?
excursion?
do u have a ship board credit ?

Hi hope you have a Wonderful first cruise. Just relax and enjoy.

1. You can do cash or put it on room charge. They will give you a slip of paper showing what you are tipping your waiter or room steward to put in the tip envelope.

2. Shorts, pants, sundress type casual dresses., bathing suit. Just don't pack a lot. I keep making this mistake..

3. A day a the beach playing in the sand.

4. It depends on how many souviners you wish to buy, I had cash for room service tips. You can charge drinks, purchases etc. on the ship and at Castaway Cay. You just need cash for Nassau.

5. I loved the over the door vinyl shoe holder. It was great for keeping me organized. Just relax and don't stress out.. Everything will be great.

Thanks,

I was reading about having to present a Credit Card upon Checking in for the charge key??

I don't have a credit card ...!! I was hoping to do Travelers Checks instead .. in advance. Can I do this. Do I do it at check in or at Guest Services??

Thanks
