Travel Tips and Tricks Episode: 33

Welcome back my fellow Adventurers to another exciting episode of Travel Tips and Tricks! Last week we talked about using Carnival Cruise Line Specialty Cups. This week we are going to talk about lanyards on a Carnival Cruise. I know you might be asking why you might need a lanyard on a cruise. Well let’s get started and I’ll explain.

On a Carnival Cruise Ship none of the stores, bars, or restaurants that cost extra will accept cash, debit cards, credit cards, checks, or any tap payments. So, how do you pay for any purchases on the ship? Well fear not there is a way. When you board the ship you are given a card that has your name and room number on it. This card acts as your room key and as your alternate credit card for on-ship purchases. And it is charged to your room and the credit card attached to your Carnival accountYou can just put this card in your pocket or wallet. However the best and most popular way to carry it is by attaching it to a lanyard.

Carnival does have lanyards for purchase in the gift shop, or you can bring your own. I did buy a lanyard my first cruise; however, I have found I do prefer to bring my own. It is completely up to you. You can choose to purchase one on the ship or get one from your local store. However I definitely recommend using a lanyard so you don’t have to worry about it falling out of your pocket or having to tote around a wallet or purse the whole time.

Just remember that while the card does take care of any purchases while on the ship, any purchases made off- ship while shopping at the ports or on excursions you will need to have either cash or card with you to pay. Well that about wraps up this episode of Travel Tips and Tricks. If all goes well then a new location episode will be available on Thursday and Spirit will be back to wrap up our week on Saturday!

Until next time my fellow Adventurers!

Woody’s Roadside Bar and Grill

Image
One of the restaurants where my family likes to eat is Woody’s Roadside Bar and Grill located on Highway 605/ Lorraine Rd. I’ve been to this restaurant multiple times and not once have I ever had bad service. All the employees are super nice and upbeat, and the food is amazing. My mom normally gets the chicken strips and fries while I get the pulled pork sandwich, fries, and sweet potato fries. The sweet potato fries, in my opinion, are absolutely addictive. 😋 I normally can’t finish all of mine, but that is ok because I take it home for leftovers to put in my lunch box for the next time I work at my part-time job.     I highly recommend eating here if you have the chance. The atmosphere is fun, the staff and food is amazing. It is a little loud in the restaurant so if you are looking for some place a little quieter, then this may not be for you. For the guys that want to watch the game while they eat, there are plenty of TVs. Some are in the dining area and more ...

      Welcome back my fellow Adventures! I hope you enjoyed the latest episode of Travel Tips and Tricks Tuesday. I know all of you are wondering where we are going this week. Well, this is more like an announcement, because I personally won't be going till its warmer. However, for those that want to go to a really great beach in this cooler weather the Ship Island Excursions Ferry is opening back up for the season! Starting tomorrow, Friday, March 21, the ferry will start taking people back to Ship Island.     Tickets start at $44 for adults. They do offer different prices for seniors, kids, and military as well. The ferry ride takes about an hour to get to the Island. Get to the port early to get a good seat.

Prices for food, drinks, snacks, lounger and umbrella rentals, and souvenirs really isn't that bad.      Th...

Samurai Japanese Cuisine, Sushi Grill, and Bar

Image
            Hi everyone, today we are taking a trip to Samurai Japanese Restaurant. It is a small restaurant located on Sangani Blvd, across the stree from the Wal-Mart Supercenter in D'Iberville, MS. The atmosphere of the restaurant, though small, is very quiet and relaxing with relaxing music playing quietly in the background.     Once seated your server brings out hot towel to clean your hands, which is a great touch. Especially in the winter when even just 2 minutes outside and your fingers will be ice cold. Then once you're ready the server will take your order. My mom and I only waited about 5 minutes and the server brought out our soups, salad, and spring rolls. They were served hot and delicious  ðŸ˜‹. Then about 5 minutes later our food arrived. Nice, hot, and delicious 😋. I had the chicken and steak hibachi meal and my mom had the chicken hibachi.      This restaurant does not have the show where the hibachi chef ...
