  1. Did you sign up for the Carnival Players Club? Also, did you use your sail and sign card in the casino?
  2. Oh, it's 1 bet. Heck, I usually play $100 hands, but never $1200 hands...
  3. In all my years of gambling, not once have I ever received a 1099 from any cruise line...or from Vegas...
  4. I meant over a weekend in Vegas or a 7 day cruise. I don't think I've ever won $10k in a single day...🤣 I've brought a few grand worth of chips to the cage before and I've never been asked for my ID or anything for reporting.
  5. Wow, ur a baller. We take 3-4 cruises a year and about 6-9 trips to Vegas. We don't even come close to $100k. Heck, I'd be surprised if we were +/- $3k for a year...lol...🤣
  6. I don't think it's worth the hassle to report win/lost on gambling. Some cruises or Vegas trips, I win $10k and on some trips I lose $10k. It's just for fun, why open up a can of worms from the IRS?
  7. We're the opposite, my wife gets better offers and I spend more in the casino 🤪
  8. I do, but my wife doesn't and she's the one that usually gets the best offers. I still don't understand how the casino offers work. She spends maybe $100 or so each cruise and she gets the free rooms and nice perks. I sometimes spend thousands and I might get 1 free drink.
  9. That makes sense. First time in almost 20 years we do not have a Carnival cruise planned.
  10. The New England clam chowda was $6 on the Panorama a few months ago.
  11. A buddy of mine, who is Mexican, has a green card. We cruised from Long Beach and returned to Long Beach and he was fine. So, I'm told if the loop returns to the same port, then the green card is sufficient.
  12. or, do what my bil does...he buys 100 shares and after he gets his obc, he promptly sells
  13. i guess you just have to do the math. I bought 100 shares at around $9 a share 3 years ago. That's $900 and in that time, I've taken more than 9 cruises. So, I've already made my money back, plus I still have my original 100 shares. So, if carnival goes bk tomorrow, it wouldn't matter to me.
  14. Why don't you folks go start another thread and stop hijacking this one?
  15. I always black out all the numbers on my investment account.
  16. lol, thought you were going back in time or sailing a year out from now 🤪
  17. We usually get the clam strips and calamari in addition to the clam chowder. It's pretty good and not that expensive compared to other dining options.
  18. Not a last minute offer, but we've been getting this offer since January:
  19. I think it's totally worth it. My son loves the clam chowder.
  20. What the heck? I changed my password on Friday and now it's asking me to change it again...
