Makes sense as their cruise was impacted on both segments

Not sure about that as I have a suite.

The email I received from HAL is only offering $250 obc.

I have the a lot of the same complaints about craps on HAL and that is my primary game too. I agree there are better options out there if that is your only focus, but I keep going back to HAL cause I find they onboard experience to align better with my personal preferences than some of the other lines. I generally just switch to placing numbers vs come bets while on HAL and yes higher play definitely can attract a crowd watching the table.

Repositioning is just moving the ship from one area to the next. So in this case they are leaving from the summer Alaskan cruise season and repositioning for the winter season in the Caribbean. Otherwise not much else different than any other panama canal cruise. They will be transitioning some of the stuff like menus and drinks from alsakan themed to Caribbean and that transition period can be interesting for some and can make the onboard experience slightly different than what you would get once the ship is full setup for their season wherever.

Hope the repositioning part goes well! We will be joining you in FLL.

Vig is paid up front.

I use the navigator app to make my reservations and to look at menus. I find it much easier than their terrible website.

This is pretty much how Rolling Stones Rock Room ended each night on my last cruise... 20221229_011350.mp4

No it is not.

My personal experience on 5 different occasions since 2017, including July of last year is that it is NOT. Several people in my party do not have passports

This is not accurate. You do NOT need a passport at all for this closed loop cruise. Even to go ashore in Victoria. However, while not required it's always recommended to have a passport.

See you onboard!

Well the not recently isn't true, as she sailed July 16-23rd (1st cruise ever) and started get the offers almost immediately afterwards. It is true she has nothing else booked currently

Her's says "Special" offer at the top and the Casino ones say "CASINO" offers at the top. Also the fine print at the bottom of each is slightly different. The casino ones reference casino offers numerous times. Her's never mentions casino anywhere.
