Crazeecat5 Posted June 24, 2010 Author #476 Share Posted June 24, 2010 i can answer the question on the cruise certificates, I think... the certificate can be applied to any booked cruise and the OBC shows up in your booking. You can use it for anything--we used it for tips. HTH... P.S. If anyone would kindly tell me the benefit of going to one place and docking there? I'm not obtuse; new to cruising compared to some of you and I don't understand>??? Thanks, Hi Debra, I can't answer for everyone but for myself....Bermuda is somewhere I always wanted to go. It looks interesting to me. And since I have traveled extensively, not only cruising, I don't mind going to just one place. I also think it will allow me a more in depth visit, where I can see and do more than if we were just there for a few hours. I can understand that this may not be for everyone. Would love to have you join us, if this interests you!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, As for the certificate: Funny, we were able to use our FCC OBC on anything on the Triumph yet on the Liberty we couldn't use FCC OBC for tips or casino. It seems if they run each ship as it's own business. As for the one place docking: There are so many things to do in Bermuda like caves, zoo, forts, restaurants, shopping, culture and then you have the beaches, lighthouses and coves. There are places in Hamilton and St. George to see, actually you need a week just to visit Bermuda, make sure you buy the tranportation pass for 2 or 3 days and all the bus and ferries will be included for about $10-$15pp a day.

saw1953 Posted June 24, 2010 #478 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Sheryl, sorry. You are certainly not chopped liver. I just happened to post above n2knight and noticed he had been on the Pride twice. I certainly want to know all of your secrets too. valancy1 The advantage of being in the same port for more than 6 or 7 hours is that you get to see more of the island. You don't have to be back on board at any certain time. You can come and go as you please. The ship doesn't close until time to board to come back home. You can get up, eat breakfast, roam around, come back to the ship for lunch if you're close enough, take a nap, get up, eat a snack, go the the beach, stay until dark, come back to the ship for dinner or eat in town, go back out for the nightlife on the island or stay on board. The ship is basically your hotel and restaurant. My only complaint with cruising and it is by no means a REAL complaint is that you don't have enough time in port to do everything you want to do and you have to be to plan your excursions to make sure you have PLENTY of time to get back to the ship on time.

Just an idea I decided to throw out there.... of course the name can change depending on the vote I absolutely love it, especially the Carnival logo eyepatch. Can it be made a little smaller? Some of us have so much already in our siggys.

Crazeecat5 Posted June 24, 2010 Author #492 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Now that we are Official and we will be really getting to know each other, I think it might be a good idea if we could all add our real first name somewhere on our signature so that we could all learn them. If you are uncomfortable with that, it's OK. I don't want to make anyone feel that way.;) Ava girl....glad to know that you are Gail. Ok, two of you are almost there! WooHoo!
