Thanks for the heads up. Just bought $400. That will pay off our October cruise.

 

Now to get the gift cards for Cheers. But that can wait.

 

Dunno how much extra in gift cards to buy.

 

worse case scenario if you buy extra and don't use save it for the next trip

If there's two of you and you're on a 7 day cruise, it'll be 700, plus 15%, or 805 for the week. Also need to account for you daily regular gratuities if you have not already. That will add just over 200 for the week, so 1000 in cards will just about cover it.

We prepaid gratuities already.

 

Think I'll get about $1K more. That will pay for Cheers plus if we want to do another ship excursion (we already paid for one). If necessary, we will do the casino trick on the last night.

What is the casino trick?

If you do a search for casino trick you can find more detailed directions.

 

But basically you put your gift cards on your S&S card and then go to the casino and put your S&S card in one of the slot machines. Play 1 spin and then choose the button that says cash out. Then you can take how much money in gift cards you have on your S&S card out at the cashier. I think there maybe a limit on how much you can take out at one time but I forget. I used the casino trick in June on $5500 in gift cards over 3 days and had no problems. I actually won a few dollars on my spins.
