Rare island lady Posted February 21, 2018 #1801 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Does John's tour provide drinks and apps? I hope we get invited for a tour in Oct [emoji4][emoji4] But all kidding aside they are a great people and love calling them friends. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk As do we! They are a wonderfully welcoming couple and have enjoyed many good times with them. Looking forward to our next two Oasis cruises with them again. Cheers John and Sandy, you have a fan club! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted February 21, 2018 #1802 Share Posted February 21, 2018 That is my wife's goto lunch on sea days. She loves the tutti salad bar. Just surprised how the mdr is not that busy on sea days.

Rare xpcdoojk Posted February 21, 2018 #1803 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Again no one is making you read posts it would be nice if people could contribute positively instead of pulling other people's posts down. Other people are doing it quite well on their own.:eek::halo: JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcur Posted February 21, 2018 #1804 Share Posted February 21, 2018 It isn't cheating, it is just someone working the system. The more people boast about it, the more likely the cruise line will close that loophole just like they did when people were combining every possible discount that existed or when people were taking out $10,000 dollars on their Royal Caribbean credit card to earn for double points to then go home and use said money to pay off their account. That wasn't "people" that did the $10,000 credit card scam, it was a "person", and yes, he messed things up for the rest of all future pax. ********************************************************************************* I'm kinda scratching my head over the overflow thing. You can now take your drinks out of the CL or DL, and the DL's are usually right next to the VCL, so why not just take your conversation and drinks out to the VCL, and my your own overflow lounge? We did this on our last family cruise, and had a great time every night. Just be sure to tidy up when you leave. I don't feel right making the VCL servers do the work for CL/DL staff. However, if I'm in a hurry, I will leave a tip for them to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TYMAN Posted February 21, 2018 #1808 Share Posted February 21, 2018 And Sandy likes her CL cabins. :D I like the tours you offer! ;) I think it’s because John likes to take his afternoon naps on the top floor.

reallyitsmema Posted February 21, 2018 #1813 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I agree. This is not a scam. We've never been questioned about a large onboard bill (from the casino) using our BoA card. The cruise line started charging a fee to get cash out in the casino because people were taking out so much cash and then weren't using it in the casino. Some people, based on C&A status or Casino Royale status, do not pay this fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people, based on C&A status or Casino Royale status, do not pay this fee. C&A status doesn't get the fee waived. On a cash account, you can take out cash without a fee, but they call you down to Guest Services to pay off your account when it approaches $500, so you can't use it to rack up huge withdrawals in the casino. I guess that people find that the 5% fee is less than whatever points or cash they get on their credit card accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milwaukee Eight Posted February 21, 2018 #1819 Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) Here was our last experience on Brilliance and over crowding in the CL. The DL was the same. Enjoy (I had a few beers). https://www.pscp.tv/w/1PlKQQZkYQVKE I ended up asking Joe to give up his seat for us.

Those who got a specific number of points on the previous cruise can get the 5% fee waived. Casino Club requirements are under revision and I've heard a variety of different things about getting cash out with fee/no fee. The casino changes are to be announced in April.

Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk Hi Frank, Plan on having our Genie set up drinks and apps if we have a cabin crawl on our April and June Oasis cruises. Nothing planned for our October cruise. Would be nice to have Tyman, Frank 808, Island Lady and their families together with us on a cruise. Still showing great prices for L2 Crown Lofts on the Oasis 10-21-2018.
