Still true.

They have to use it? For what?

Exactly.

How did they not put this guy off the ship at the next port? How did they not get statements from witnesses immediately after the incident, including the magician? It seems like this was handled horribly by the cruise line.

I'm thinking the same thing.

It is not known for sure where the 18% goes to.

It IS different from any other denomination. Most cash drawers don't have a place for it. Some people don't even know it exists. Some retailers don't want to accept it.

So true.

I suspect you are right.

I totally agree. Why even run the risk of unnecessarily making something more difficult for the crew members? I'm sure they can find a way to use the $2 bills but why make them potentially go through extra effort to do so?

If a crew member didn't like them do you honestly think they would tell you?

Both, in my opinion.

I suspect one reason merchants don't like them is because they don't have a slot for them in their cash registers.

I agree. Why even introduce a potential problem by giving out $2 bills? Why not make it as easy as possible for the workers on the ship?

Agreed. The salad portion of the buffet is probably my favorite. I know exactly what is going into it.

Agreed. The logic in some of these comments sometimes eludes me also.

Exactly! 😁

Lol no, it doesn't break me financially. Not even close. But delaying payment does benefit me financially, which is something I like.

Rent a car and go to a beach.

If it was just one cruise, then I would tend to agree with you that it's fairly insignificant. But over numerous cruises (and other instances of delaying paying for things as long as possible), it adds up. Along the same lines, I always get a kick out of people thinking that getting an income tax refund is a good thing. In reality, it's best to owe income tax (provided that you haven't incurred a penalty, of course).

That's how I feel about it also. I don't like giving away my money before I have to.

Did they pass?

I definitely agree with that!

Nothing. But lots of stuff is included! 😉

I agree with this. Enjoy your cruise.
