Drink packages never have a receipt in my experience. For, this was a perk that enhanced the value of the package. Diamond voucher drinks are hit or miss.

AFAIK all the Vision class have been available for sale for many years. Granduer was already "sold" to Pullmantur, but COVID killed them so Grandeur stayed.

It may depend on the ship. And it changes over time. For a while it was only a drink list similar to the Diamond Lounge. Other times it has been pretty much anything. Other times no frozen drinks. And while the policy is you cannot take drinks out of the lounge, every cruise we have been offered to have glasses of wine to take to dinner. And those glasses are a heavier pour that normal. 😄

Open bottle may contain something other than what it started with. People do not bring on several opened cans. 😄

No, corporate runs things. The CD just implements what they are told

Strange, because hundreds of post say the opposite. Unless they recently changed the policy

The cheat sheet doesn't put the odds mathematically to either side, it just makes sure you are playing to the best odds for you. Most people playing on hunches are lower their odds.

If he is not wildly changing his bets based on the count, they don't care. If he is playing for fun, flat bet. (same bet every hand).

You need a 160 to add or subtract 1 from another 1 digit number????? Card counting it not remembering every card played and left, it is way to characterize the played cards as mostly high or low cards.

Last time I looked, that is what their policy said. I know I was concerned when the screwed up and combined my ex-wife and my GFs accounts. To fix, they had to create a new one for my GF and I was worried about relinking them. It may have been one of those things where the official, published rules say one thing, but the reality is difference, like corkage fees. 😄

😄 😄 But they might figure he is in the kennel

Corporations pay taxes on profits.

A BIG T-Mobile fan for traveling. Using them now in Qatar.

I need to set up a FB that does not use my real name. Really don't want my name associated with being out of my house for 2 weeks

Yeap

OK, that is a bit much, 25% is pretty amazing

Trafficking would be a bit obvious when they failed to make the ship at a port. It is not like the ship is a one way trip

Better to have and not need than to need and not have. Most banks will notarize for free. Not a difficult thing to do.

I look at it this way, considering the minor things that people complain about here on CC, if it was a problem, we WOULD have heard about it. 😄

I haven't been charged a corkage fee, even when they opened a 1980 Robert Mondavi Cabernet that the cork crumbled. IT was a lot of work, but no fee. And OH MY, it was worth the trouble. 😄

Two different things. Auto gratuities are added each day during the cruise and paid as part of the final bill. Pre-paid gratuities are added and paid for at the time you set them up. Some people prefer to pre-pay them so they have paid the total cost of their cruise and only have minor on board expenses while cruiring.

They did make it hard to link. You now have to have proof of the same address, such as a driver's license. I agree that partners should go back to their earned status, not status from linking.

Hmm, 12 month ending Sept 2023, they had a gross of 13.17 billion. So a 1 billion profit is 7.5%. Which is actually a bit low.

I use an independent TA and she checks daily. If there is a price change in my favor, she gets it and applies it. I don't have to do anything.

Thanks for the info
