  1. On Spirit they had a "Deal or no deal" show. You could buy a chance to be the contestant or just sit and watch. DW got picked up on stage and rode the contest all the way to the end and got $ .01 . That's right, one cent.

    The French restaurant was packed every night, Cagneys no so much. Cagneys was $30, Bistro was $20. Italian was good, no crowds, $15.

    popcorn in the pub. Wine package saves you I think 20%. you can buy the wine at any time on the cruise.

    If your a casino player you might get a free dink but you have to ask when the hostess comes over to see how your doing. Sign up for the free Casino Card.

    Check out my review. Sail Spirit twice.

  2. we've stayed at the comfort suites cruiseport on three trips. 1800 s federal hgway.

     

    Our upcoming October trip we have booked a room for $111 Senior rate.

    right off 17th Street and the restaurants and fast food joints. We walk over to Outback Steakhouse located behind Embassy Suites.

     

    Airport shuttle free. Breakfast buffet , pay for shuttle to ship about $6. Took a cab once also for $20. Nothing fancy but clean and free wi fi in room. Lots of cruisers stay here.

  3. we are going on a 7 day cruise in September of 2010 and want a idea of how much more i need to save.. thanks for your help

     

     

    We have a good time and usually have wine with dinner plus whatever other drinks we may choose to have. I look around for non ship tours unless they are under $50 then there's not a lot to be saved. usually spend about $50 - $60 a day per person and that's with the staff included tips. About $800-$1000 for a week or ten days. Our Med cruise was about $1500 for the trip for the two of us. Wine drinks speciality dinners no photo's or boat trips. Look up my Princess Grand review for details.

  4. Just got my cell phone bill which included text messages back and forth to the ship while on a Med. Cruise. Athens, Rome, Egypt. They charged me for ** Int'l roaming 5 sent for 2.50.** That's 50 cents apiece. and ***Int'l roaming rcv'd 7 for .35 cents.** That's only 5 cents each.

     

    Ship was the Princess Grand and provider was Verizion. I called ahead and had Verizion allow international calls. Couldn't get through on land, just at sea.
