I have been viewing this board for many, many months now and have finally decided to post my first question after reading the friendly replies to HugsNkisses. You people really are nice and seem to have so many answeres to questions I wanted to ask. I posted this question on the CC board earlier. Hear goes. My husband and I will be going on our first cruise in June to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary on the Mariner We are cruising to Alaska. Can we pay towards our shipboard credit for excursions, spa treatments, etc. I guess it would be like a payment plan so we won't have to come up with the total investment 30 days before the cruise.
