onyourmark Posted November 2, 2022 #377 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I was wondering if the Future Cruise desk is offering an incentive to book your next cruise on board. Thanks for checking. We'll be on Celebrity Equinox in December, hoping to book a January cruise while on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for checking. We'll be on Celebrity Equinox in December, hoping to book a January cruise while on board. They are offering the usual incentive for booking on board. Up to $500 OBC depending on the cabin category and length of the cruise booked. I can send a photo of the flyer that has the offer later tonight. Or someone may post it for me. It’s the same offer that’s been out there for a while. Coincidentally, we just visited the Future Cruises department today to put down a $100 pp deposit that allows us to book another cruise 18 months from now—and qualify for the same OBC offer.

Tee & Chilli Posted November 3, 2022 #386 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Those pictures at Tuscan look delicious. Have you seen any on board dining offers? Did you try the steak? This will be our first Tuscan experience. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the filet mignon two nights ago and my wife had it tonight. The steak was excellent both times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mahdnc Posted November 3, 2022 Author #388 Share Posted November 3, 2022 I played blackjack at the casino from 8-11 pm this evening. For those three hours I was the only one at the single deck/$10 table. In fact the casino was largely empty. The other two active blackjack tables including the $6 table had only a couple of players. The $25 and $50 tables were idle and not even staffed. Early on I figured it was because people were at the evening show, but as the night wore on, it was clear that was not the answer. I finally asked the dealer where everyone was and she politely told me that the European and Transatlantic itineraries have an elderly passenger demographic that go to sleep by mid evening. She said by midnight the casino is usually shutdown because it is empty. She also went on to say that it will change when Constellation beings its winter Caribbean season. That passenger demographic is typically younger, likes to party, and hits the casino well into the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mahdnc Posted November 3, 2022 Author #390 Share Posted November 3, 2022 (edited) So as far as blackjack goes, there were three tables in operation at the Fortunes Casino: 1. $6 table. Multiple deck. A continuous shuffling machine of sorts. 6:5 payout for a blackjack. You can double after splits. 2. $10 table. Multiple deck. Manual shuffling. 6:5 payout for blackjack. You can double after splits. 3. $10 table. Single deck. Manual shuffling. 6:5 payout for blackjack. You cannot double after splits. You had to play at the $25 and $50 table to get a traditional 3:2 payout for blackjack. Neither of those tables have been opening on this cruise due to lack of demand.

Rare mahdnc Posted November 3, 2022 Author #391 Share Posted November 3, 2022 The old movies continue to be shown on the stateroom television. Von Ryan’s Express (1965) was on this evening. Juno (2007) was on last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

postnobills Posted November 3, 2022 #399 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Really enjoying following along on your trip report, especially since we are on the return trip to Europe next spring. Do you know if there is a way to connect a laptop to the TV in the stateroom in order to play movies stored on a PC (or to stream from a phone/ipad). The ship's collection of provided movies seems pretty dreadful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We brought a Nintendo Switch to connect to the TV. We haven’t tried connecting it yet, but we will. I’ll let you know how it turns out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
