1. Yes, just go to guest services and ask to apply your on board credit to the tips. You can also call them.
2 Tea, coffee (not espresso/lattes), soft drinks, iced tea, hot chocolate, juice.
3. We were asked to print out our PAT. When we boarded last Saturday, a few people were having problems with the app so it made it easier to have the print out.
4. There is no formal night on board. Pirate Night is optional if you want to dress up. Last week, I saw everyone from complete costume to just shirts to pirate inspired outfits to just the bandanna to just regular clothes
5. We found there were very few photographers on board. In the 4 days, we only took 114 photos which is absolutely nothing for us. Many characters didn't have Shutters photographers, there weren't many photo ops around the cruise. The attendants will use your phone or camera to take photos though.
