What to do with so much onboard credit?

[BillderBo]

We have $300 onboard credit per person, plus free hotel gratuities. Plus internet minutes and two $50 drink cards from a future cruise promotion.

 

What does one do with so much credit? We don't drink much and don't plan to start. We could get laundry service. But what else would a person do with the credit?

Take advantage of a whole day of relaxing spa treatments or rent a Cabana

And enjoy the indulgences that go with it!!!!

You could also do some wonderful dinners at our specialty restaurants!

Enjoy your cruise

As we don't know anything about the length of your cruise, it is very hard to answer. Consider your Hotel Service Charge will be about $25 per day (assuming 2 people in a cabin- again, something we don't know).

 

Then there are Pinnacle dinners...many things. Just takes some thought and planning.

[BillderBo]

Thanks, Denise. BTW, as you were posting, I was editing my original post. We actually have more credit than I first thought. We really enjoyed the pricey cabana when we stopped Half Moon Cay a couple years ago, but we won't be stopping there this time. We will be on the 14-day South Caribbean. Will we find cabanas on other islands? Guess I can look it up myself...

14 day South Caribbean. The hotel service charge is prepaid.

Buy logo glasses or travel coffee mugs to take home for friends and family, buy yourself a new watch or some bling, be wild and crazy in the casino, try out a specialty restaurant, get a spa treatment, take a ship sponsored excursion, buy a round of drinks for your table mates.

 

I obviously have no problem spending money! Well, no problems spending other peoples' money.

OK, now that we have some details...your Hotel Service Charge alone will eat the $300. Simple as that.

[CruiserBruce]

Really tough to answer when there are so many details hidden from us...:mad:

[BillderBo]

When I said "The hotel service charge is prepaid," what I mean is it is a free perk. I don't pay it.

Wild and crazy. Gee, I'm not sure I know how. But I might have to find out. Hope I don't hurt myself trying :eek:

Shore Excursions. Lots of fun shore excursions!!!

 

Also, what ship will you be on?

[Florida_gal_50]

What else can I tell you?

 

Ship would be good. Some ships do have cabanas on board if you like that type of thing.

[BillderBo]

Oosterdam

[freestyling]

Get a cabana that is offered on the ship. They are an excellent place to relax and you have an attendant that truly takes care of you. Also we always sign up the 1st day in the spa for the Thermal Suites. Very relaxing. They limit it to roughly 50 people. Includes steam room, heated tile loungers and relaxing thermal pool.

[Florida_gal_50]

Not sure if the Oosterdam has cabanas yet or not.

[CruiserBruce]

What else can I tell you?

 

Now that we squeezed the ship out of you,,as noted, that opens up on board cabanas and the Tamarind as well.

 

But you have lost me....

Didn't know you could use for shore excursions. I suppose you have to wait until you are actually onboard to book(?)

What is the Tamarind?

There is no tamarind on the Oosterdam. Now you have lost me.

Correction. Canneleto. If we have to squeeze every drop of info out of the poster...it is very frustrating trying to help them.

Save some extra for the ships doctor then!

Shore excursions would have to be booked on board, yes, if you want to pay for them with on-board credit.

You could spend the money in the Casino.

The shops have some very expensive jewelry that would use up 10 times your credit. (or more)

Spa and/or salon treatments.

Dinner at the Pinnacle is $29 per person; you could go there a couple of times.

Internet, if you are interested in that sort of thing.

A few photos, including formal poses and candid shots.

 

Nothing says you have to spend it all on one thing. All these things can add up quickly.

I can't read your mind. Tell me what you want to know and I'll tell you.
