It's all based off average bet and time you play. I personally play blackjack betting anywhere between $25.00 to $100.00 a hand. I despise slot machines but you do rack up points quickly there then you do at table games. I would say I play about 80% table games and 20% slots. When I do play slots I am max betting the machine to get as many points per spin. The way I look at it if I lose I am prepaying for a future vacation and you are going to spend the money one way or the other :-D! 

Thank you for your reply!  Seems like alot of people got these so I was curious. 

How much do you need to play to get the casino offers?  Do you play slots, blackjack or poker? We cruise 4/19 I may have to pay the casino a visit!

If you are a Jimmy Buffet fan his song Last Mango in Paris he talks about going down to Captain Tony's!

Thanks for the link! I bookmarked it. Our cruise won't be for almost one year but I love planning and dreaming!

Thanks for the maps!! I think when we go that we are going to see some of the things that interest us and just enjoy it. These will help me in planning.

Where does Carnival ships dock at Key West? We will be on the Dream and I am trying to plan what we are going to do.

Thanks!

My points are showing up but when I try to redeem them and my other points on the cruise purchase it will tell me that No qualifying purcheses available at this time.

Anyone ever book a Carnival cruise using the Mastercard but when trying to redeem points it is not showing up? The purchase is showing up on the statement but just not to redeem points. I have emailed them but was hoping someone might could shed some light on why it is not showing up. BTW, I have done this before and never had any problems.

Thanks,

Well I am pretty much only allowed one cruise a year. So it would have to be having my first balcony room. Not only was it a balcony but one of the extended ones!!! Now I think I am spoiled.

Can't wait to make my memory for 2015. Going on cruise with 4 of my-sister-laws that have never cruised before!

So glad I came across this thread!!! We have done Nachi Cocom several times with family and friends but on this cruise it will just be dh & myself. Was thinking of the Bar Hop just for something different. We went on the other side one time with an excursion. This sounds like fun not worrying about driving, meeting and making new friends and seeing the other side again. Yep, I guess I need to go and sign up for our trip in February!!!

Thanks everyone for the input!

I would like to know how you join the Players Club. I figure you can on the ship but can you also join online somewhere before a cruise?

Ibcnusoon, you are correct. When I look at the little chart they bring up "choose your room" is not checked but I just did mock booking and it took me all the way through to the rooms.

Also beware on this sale I just realized you do not get to choose your room. So I am guessing they could change your room? I think I will just skip this one and keep waiting for price drops.

I am wondering samething. For 80. more I can get 160. on excursions, which I am planning on doing one that is 79.99 pp and there will be two of us. The only thing that bothers me is it had to be made after boarding. What if the one I want to do is sold out by then?? We also would like to do the tour behind the fun but I don't know if it would apply to that. Then I also do not want to lose my ES booking incase it drops even lower than that offer.

Hopefully I will be watching on the webcam!!!

Yes thanks for the good laugh today!!! I was reading your post so seriously!!!

---When you start multiple conversations every day with "I read on Cruise Critic that...."

---When you quote Aquahound during discussions of any "disaster" at sea.

---When your daughter tells you that she's pregnant and your next grandchild is due in January and your first thought is "There goes that Panama Canal cruise I was getting ready to book for February... (Yes, really :o)

Same thing here!! We were looking at Alaska when DD told us the news so had to replan it!!

How about this one??

Awesome video!!! Thanks for sharing.

Awesome video!!! Thanks for sharing.

It's a little ways past Margaritaville and across the street...just didn't want you to think you'd missed it.

 

Soooo good!! My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

Oh my we just got back and I missed your post!!! Yes we did miss it as we stopped at Margaritaville and that was it. Oh well I just need to start planning another cruise!!!

Yep, its in the same direction as margaritaville from doctors cave. Nice easy walk :). Enjoy....it is yummy.

Thanks we are going there next week and I hope to try this out!!!

Is it the same way as Margaritaville??? Or is it a different direction?

Thanks I will ask!

We will be there with you!! I want to show my grandson these critters too!!

Ok we will be waiting on some of you good folks to return with pics and info!! We won't be cruising on her until 4/10 and will be day dreaming everyday until then!!!
