I was getting the sense that 1 would be a bit high, especially with the adorable distraction.

Non alcoholic beverages included only. Specialty coffee & tea, Juices, Power Aid, Red Bull, any non alcoholic cocktail, water, etc.

I would contact them. I am about to order my third batch of them, and I have had no problem. I usually get a check in the mail for $72 within 10 days.

We do, but I do not find CVS/Walgreens reliable. I really like the site in Bradenton, but now with these emed tests costing less than $20/cruise, I just don't see the need to leave the house for it.

Those e-med tests are so easy and convenient. My insurance does not cover the entire cost, but will compensate $12 per test. I buy the packs of 6, so with the delivery and after the compensation it is just above $100 for 6 tests. The place we used to go for testing is a 25 mile drive each way, so I guess with gas prices, the cost is even lower per cruise.

Based on your play in the past, you can receive many offers. There is no limit to the number of comped cruises you can book.

It's still not back to pre-pandemic rules. They are still offering comp cruises at below 2500 points. Currently, 1600 points will get a comp cruise on specific "closer" in dates. Personally, I welcome it going back to the way it was pre pandemic.

I have a really hard time believing that he only has 84 posts total. Why does it feel like so much more? oh well.

Yep... every single ship for the last 20 cruises.

Ah yes.. Fire Link. Yep, I like those too.

The cash in the machines do not follow the card when pulled out if the machine, unless it is free play. It just stays in the machine.

I like anything buffalo, Lightening link, and 88 fortunes (all variations) I cannot think of the flying pizza game LOL.

Yep... glad that is over. Now it is still reduced but at 1600 points instead of the original 2500. (2400 pre pandemic) I am happy with anything to free up machines that I want to play in the casino. 😂 It has been packed in there for the past 6 months.. with the exception of a few sailings when there was no smoking. I could get on any machine I wanted anytime then.

Oops, you're right and I agree.

Utopia is the last Oasis class and it will arrive in 2024. Icon is late 2023.

I do not think it is unethical at all. I am a member of at least 10 FB groups now with many of them having slot pulls organized. They do a lot of work, and it is fine, as long as it is listed in their rules when they post it. I for one, do not find slot pulls fun, and do not participate. I tend to stay away from all the noise they create when in the casino... or wear my air pods.

Funny. I cannot imagine better use of the aqua theater space. This is likely because I love the Aqua Theater so much. I would love to see all of it on one ship. Aqua Theater, Broadway show in the Royal Theater, Ice Rink, 270, and North Star. (I know.. fat chance) I really like the Odyssey but miss the aqua theater and the ice rink. Edit: Oh and a bit bigger casino, with a cafe. (Espresso type beverages)

When you said.. "I see that framing we've been speaking about" I downloaded the pic.. blew it up.. scoured for at least 15 minutes.... trying to figure out what you are seeing as I saw the Costa and the Disney one.. and could not see what you were referring to. Then I finally decide to scroll down, and see that it was the Costa one you were referring to. I blame RCI for this 15 minutes I will never get back, because had they announced by now this would not have happened. 😂 Seriously though... this is killing me. The fun of speculating while looking at the blocks is now over for me. (keep those pics coming though HAHAHA) as I really just want Royal to announce. sailing in likely 18ish months, and still not taking bookings. ugh!

FYI - I just got off Indy this morning. The LA had some brand new boxes with a bunch of blocks in them that were just delivered this cruise. It was nice to actually get one this time. Maybe they will start rolling out to the other ships soon... and fill our back orders.

I turn Pinnacle on June 24, so I guess I should expect the stratum around Oct/Nov? I have a duplicate Allure. Will be on the Harmony 07/31.

See the casino host next time. The rules are posted at their desk. Also, you do not have to sit down with anyone, you can just fill out the form on the back of the flyer at the casino host desk and they will charge the deposit, and you have 7 days to make a reservation. They are clear that there is limited availability, and unfortunately with the reduction in points for free cabins over the last 6 months, there were way too many cabins handed out for players that would not normally have gotten one. That is why you are having a hard time finding availability. I don't like the new program, but it is all spelled out, so not much I can do about it. Good luck!

I have seen it up many, many times. I really can only think of once or twice on the island that it was shut down while I was there.

I understand the disappointment. People pay a lot of money to be in an Aqua Theater Suite.

I stay on the ship far more then I go ashore! I really am on the ship for the ship. That will change when I do Alaska and Europe.

I was being a bit sarcastic.
