Number of Phone cards required?

[Vivig]

Hi there,

We are preparing for our 04/26/03 cruise and I was wondering how many counselors are there in the Oceaneer Club? (I want to ensure I have enough Phone cards )

Are there any other staff members that are not taken into account in the tipping list that I should not forget to include?

How many cards should we purchase?

Sorry for all the questions and Thanking you all for the info,


The three of us can't wait to be where the is shining

Thanks again

I picked up 5 Walmart gift cards to hand out during our cruise. If we don't use them on the cruise, I know my DD 12 will use them when we return.

Check out the kids navigators on barb's site (www.castawayclub.com). The front cover has the counselors. 10-12 age group has nine or ten counselors. I'm not sure about the other age groups.

I know for the younger group (3-4yr olds) I used 12 I think. I gave them out in July on the Magic and I had some for the Wonder this time, but I didn't give them out. I was not as impressed with the way they treated the kids on the Wonder. I actually tried to limit my DD time in there because of some of the things I saw. They would just let a girl there crying and the tone of their voice towards the kids. I never saw or heard them do this to my child, but they just didn't appear to be as patient as the counselers on the Magic were.

I wonder if those counselors needed a vacation on the Magic!

Are international phone cards the type you can use in StMartin and St Thomas to call home or just the type to give to the crew? We needed to purchase special ones for the Bahamas last year to call home (ours didn't work). I would like to come prepared this year. Thanks ahead!
