The card for the machines in the casino is your room card - like a plastic credit card. In order to get money out of the machine' date=' you need to use your room card and establish an account with a PIN number in the casino. Do set this up in advance of the slot pull. I would suggest that you talk to a casino worker and ask them to explain it to you and help you set up your card and PIN.[/size']

After you read the email that I sent, if you still have questions, please let me know and I will be happy to help you.

I would not tell the casino manager you are doing a slot pull. Let's just say we got "caught" and he wanted to know how many people and what machine and when we told him, he scurried off and we lost! I don't know that they can do anything remotely but it seemed odd that he insisted on knowing which machine and then ran off.

Also I had my account set up and a zero balance on my card and we used it to play. Then I took my card to the cashier to get the small amount out. We had about 30 players. It was a lot of fun. We did a gift exchange that was a lot of fun as well.

I had D418 on the Island last November. I loved that location. It was mid-ship on the bump-out and had a mostly covered larger balcony. I could see forward and aft. It was very convenient to mid-ship amenities. If you plan on being on your balcony for part of the transit, I highly recommend a cabin on the starboard side. The port side gets the morning sun and can be very hot while the starboard side is in the shade. I enjoyed breakfast on my balcony during the transit and it was very comfortable.

OH MY, I never even thought about that....we are on the starboard side from a guarantee so woo hoo!

May I please have the spreadsheet as well?

It is the best place to go for lunch the first day ...

You know we've heard that over and over and every time we swear that's what we'll do but we never have and I am not sure why! We'll give it a go again next month!

Are you drooling? :D

WOW that looks sooooooo good.

And if you advise a casino manager in advance and he helps select the machine, don't you think that he is going to persuade you to a machine that has the lowest odds of paying out, or that the machine he suggests will be tightened up a little bit more than usual and lower the odds of paying out??? Just saying.

EXACTLY I think you should pick the machine you want, when we did it someone coordinated with the casino mgr and we didn't get free drinks or anything, just a losing machine!:)

No. Carnival tried to ban them, but their passengers threw a hissy fit. Every line allows power strips. But the underlying reason for Carnival's ban still exists...

 

Simply put, the power strips outlets place a load on the ship's generators. The ships have a limited amount of power aboard and don't have the luxury of tapping a power line at sea.

 

Passengers power demands have gone up considerably. Many of the ships power plants, generators, and switchboards weren't designed with so many power strips and load in mind. There is a reason why most cabins have only one outlet in the cabin and/or a second one in the bath room...

 

Gone are the days when passengers brought only razors and hair dryers aboard a ship. Today they bring every conceivable battery chargers for video cams, digital cameras, notebooks, blackberries, iPods, cell phones, etc.

 

Its not that passengers wish to recharge their batteries that is the problem, its that the passengers wish to recharge all of their gadgets at the same time with more than one outlet...

Thank you for clearing that up. I am not an idiot but never really thought it all the way through. We have PDAs, Phones, a FLIP, iPods, camera etc and we'll just be sure to stagger the charge times. The thing we don't have is curling irons and things to make us look better in the pictures :rolleyes:
