Actually that was Ryan from Calgary. On that one day he dropped 1100 on hot tub shots He had a good time, it was his first cruise!
My bill was 388, that includes 40 taken out at the casino (which in the end I was up 45 dollars on ) so really...303 I suppose. Didn't get any merch this year which I kind of regret.

If I remember correctly, the band event shirts for 2014 were available from:
Carcass - Olive green with torpedos on the front, the Majesty of the Sea as the target on the back
Death (To All) - Single sided shirt with 70,000 Tons of Metal & the dates worked into the design
Obituary - Band logo on the front, Obituary in Costa Maya on the back
Swashbuckle - Dual sided. Don't remember much more as I didn't buy it.
There might have been more special shirts, but I didn't notice them.

Also, you can bring on two bottles of wine a person! Just bring them in your bag, it's totally allowed and an awesome way to save a bit on booze. That said, you'll be tempted constantly by tropical drinks brought by on trays and the convenience of pool-side bars, so be prepared to charge a bit to your account. Both years I've gone I hit around $300 which included one piece of merch.
The merch situation can be pretty crazy on board, the line gets really long so I'd recommend going early if there's something you really want. That said, the merch is always worth it, but just be aware that you might be waiting in line.

Each round was about $200. I still don't know what the red things were that I was shotting (or even if shotting is even a word) but after a while, I didn't care.

I know, right!?
I stumbled into the merch cave once but I was far too wasted and warm to think of purchasing a sweater. Eric had to mail me one in March
