Going on my first cruise in 14 days.  5 day cruise recommends $200pp on thier sign and sail.  If I already have a $200 on board credit, does that mean I only have to put $200 more on?  There is just 2 of us going.  Thanks for any advice.

Yes it is a per person recommendation.  They take 10.00 per day off for tips.  The rest is yours to spend.  If you do not use all the money they will give you the rest in the form of a check that is not used on the day you debark.  One thing I do that really helps me out prior to a cruise is that I purchase photo coupons online ahead of time and bar/or soda coupons on line ahead of time.  When you get there these items are in your room and you can use that money for other things such as bingo, casino, supper club, spa ect.  It is addicting to cruise now I don't think of anything else as a "vacation".  I love it.  I always end up going home with some cash as I do not do the casino and I am not a big drinker.  I have got the most beutiful painting for my home from an onboard art auction they are awesome to see even if you don't buy anything.  I am going on my cruise in September this year.  You have a blast.

The $200 is only a recommendation. If your S&S account gets low they will ask you to come to the pursers desk to add more. Not all OBC is refundable. There are some that are treated differently and if not used you lose them.

Hello, where do I go online to make this purchase I have looked through the Carnival sight and canot find what you are talking about. We are leaving on 7-6-09 to party for 5 days cant wait.
