Retired not Expired Posted October 15, 2005 #26 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Just heard they put parking meters in the dining room for the strollers. They take quarters. Maybe they should put some of those meters on the deck chairs. That would sure keep the chair hogs hopping.:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyancho Posted October 15, 2005 #27 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Perhaps the quarters are used to make phone calls home while in exciting and exotic locations. Cell phone does not work in paradise............that is how you know it is paradise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTarbay Posted October 15, 2005 #28 Share Posted October 15, 2005 And the TVs won't work unless you put in a quarter. One quarter = 15 minutes of airtime. Now, the in-cabin jukebox only works on 2 quarters! Just hope you don't get a cabin with a pay toilet! You're talking 3 quarters, here! Let's not give the cruiselines any more ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyFamilyNJ Posted October 16, 2005 #29 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Cherub, we used this tip when we travelled from Indiana to Omaha with our 4 and 6 year old grandchildren. Every time they asked how much farther, or they argued, we got a quarter from their stash. It worked like a dream! By the end of the round trip they each ended up with $9.50 out of the $10.00! Alon this same line, I'm thinking of bringing quarters to the dinner table on the cruise to ensure the kids cooperation and good behavior.... but I have a question, do the arcade machines actually take quarters? Or just seapass cards? On the NCL Dawn last year they took both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruise182 Posted October 16, 2005 #31 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Back in college we played a game called butt quarters. Perhaps RCI offers the game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ducklite Posted October 16, 2005 #33 Share Posted October 16, 2005 The only place I can think of needing them is the vending machine in the infirmiry with little packets of pain relivers, bandaids, etc. Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherry7 Posted October 18, 2005 #34 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Maybe I'm going nuts, but I thought I read somewhere that San Juan, PR had pay toilets that you had to have quarters for? Anyone else hear of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must be thinking of another place then. Good thing, because I didn't feel like carrying a roll of quarters (or two! :eek: ) all over Old San Juan with me.
