I think it pegged me as out of the country. Yep, when traveling within the US, it's generally only an issue with some broadcast stations (national news @6:30 for example won't allow me to play back recordings).

Same like @groundloop, I use it while I'm the water and other countries. It pops up and tell me to confirm I'm travel and it works with no issue. Now local (at home) channels like news will not show but everything else works.

How does boarding work?  Do we get priority being part of the Elite group?  We are Platinum too.

Yes!

My vision of "premium" options on a cruise ship would be live network and cable programming (though I don't want/need 100+ channels), and if they could throw in a DVR, all the better - LOL

Ahhh, got it. Like Sunday Ticket.

Do you mean 3 to 2?

Lol, yep. 2 to 3 would be hella interesting.

But yeah 3 to 2.

It was from RCCL directly with a copy of the offer.  Maybe on URComped but I always prefer to go to the source rather than a commissioned entity.

Outside of the obvious answer which is to play, how did you achieve echo? Is it like the top 10% on a particular cruise or duration over time or what? Only asking in hopes that you know.

Not true.  We received free drinks on day one out of Galveston.  I was expecting next day but did receive right away. 

So to help, the way it works is carnival says on the next day at 6:00 a.m. but they always start serving drinks 50 nautical miles away from port. That is when they enter international waters and are allowed to freely serve alcohol. This is in both Texas and New York. I live in Houston and sell out of Galveston quite often and this has been 100% the case. It has no jurisdictions on elite or not elite. It's for alcohol sales period.

Increasing access to the cyber world - but still providing pathetic TV channels. Heck Carnival, why not start providing "premium" TV options, for a fee !  😉

 

Tom

This exist on Celebration. You can purchase premium directly from the TV and see you folio, pixel photos and all that jazz. 

Blackjack tables are:

• Three $6 tables with 6 to 5 payout
• One $6 table with 2 to 3 payout
• Two $25 tables with 2 to 3 payout

Free play or slots depends on what you play. I think you can split it but not sure. If I had free drinks everywhere for both myself and my wife, would probably take a different offer, but it would depend on the free play offer

You can choose slots and table for the free play. When you go to the cage, you tell them how much you want for tables. i.e., your offer has $2000 in free play, they will ask you if you want tables or slots. You didn't tell them you want $1,500 for slots and $500 for tables or whatever combination you want. They will then give you $500 worth of chips and you will use your selling sign card in the slot machine to access the other $1500.

Also, to save you a little time of having to get in the line twice, stick your card in any slot machine before going to the cage. This simply activates your card on the boat. If you do not when you go to the cage, they're going to tell you to get out of the line and stick it into a machine. So save yourself some time. It takes 2 seconds to stick it in. You do not have to play. You only have to insert it and then it'll prompt on the screen that you've been rewarded free play. After you see that message, you're good to go to the cage and get whatever money combination you want..

Elite.  Maybe it was once casino opened.  Either way, it was day 1, not next day like cheers.
