Questions about Parks, Cruises and other things

[rosscoe]

Hey my fellow Theme Parkers,

 

Heading over August this year, to join the IntimidaTour. Will be in New York for the week before the tour and in Orlando for Universal a couple of days after.

 

Was thinking of heading up to Niagara Falls from New York by train, but worked out that the cost for a over night stay and train fare was rather over priced.

 

Found a really good fare for a cruise with Carnival that leaves from Miami, visting Key West and Cozumel in Mexico with a day cruising back to Miami.

 

Since this could be my first cruise.

 

I have a choice of a suite with a balcony ( just over $1,000 for the four days )

 

There are no standard Balcony rooms left.

 

For around $400 I could get a inside room or around 600.00 I could get a room with a picture window.

 

Is it worth the money just to be able to sit on a Balcony and watch the world go by, or better just to go for the inside room ( I would be guessing that you would not be spending a lot of time in the room )?

 

I know the cruise covers meals, entertaiment on board. But the ship offers room service, is that an extra charge or is it covered in the costs?

 

I would be better off pre booking land tours, yes?

 

If I go with the cruise I would need to change the dates for a stay at Disneyland resort. I should be able to do the resort in two fun filled credit whoring days instead of four that I had booked to start with? This would be early September!

 

And last but not least, Magic Mountain was still be open daily in September, yes?

 

 

Cheers.

Magic Mountain is open daily until Sept. 6 which is Labor Day. After that they are only open weekends and school holidays. Here's the link to their calendar.

Have a great trip.

Can you do a Royal Caribbean or Norweigian Cruise Line cruise instead of Carnival? Well, I guess if you like to smoke, drink, party, etc. Carnival is fine, but I would try one of the other lines.

 

As for what kind of room to get, like you said, you're not in it very much...I would save the money and go for the inside. I sleep better in an inside cabin too!

 

Room Service is included, but you are expected to tip in cash to the person delivering the food.

 

Have you checked out our cruise thread on the main board?

Elissa, you can close this one if you like and I will post in the Cruise thread on the main board..
