Please remember that while you look at these numbers take into account the number of days off that these workers get while on contract...basically ZERO. I just don't get the infatuation of trying to figure out how much these workers make.

Well it seems at a glance that the current system stays in place. The top two lines. After that they are trying to make it that you know what “you get” prior to boarding. The big thing will be how do they break out the tiers I play 3 card poker (yes I know the odds stink, it’s for entertainment) about an average of 4 hours a day $10 on 6 card bonus, $10 on Pair plus and Ante i maxed out the balcony stateroom by day 6. Where will that place me in the tier system and will I still max out? Ask me in April! ;-)

The cruise was one on the back of the cert which was a free Balcony (-$1014 x 2) and then the -$615 x2 is the casino rate discount on our upgrade to a Jr. Suite.

I just combined my Certificate for a balcony stateroom and got the casino rate.

So I usually travel with my Passport and I have Global Entry but I did just recently get the Real ID in New York so I guess that got it up and running.

On Anthem this was AWFUL!!! They never told us it went by shots of espresso, no where in any of the items they gave us. Needless to say we went to Guest Services and had it refunded. The crew member at guest services where not surprised we wanted a refund.

I will say that I am 44 and while I am not in great shape I am not grossly out of shape either and I found it to be a heck of a work out!!!! Enjoy

Yeah my wife vetoed my desire to buy the Briggs and Riley luggage. I really wanted it.

Ohhhhh man I am so jealous. Would love to taste the Pappy.

Ohhhh. That stinks. Enjoy the trip.

Yikes. Better after the cruise before! We just made use of this for the first time with no issue.

Got the 2 for $310 deal on Johnnie Blue. They brought it down to $300 and let me put a bottle of John Walker XR (1 Litre) and Blue (750ML) for the $300. Prices were LESS on St. Kitts and I was able to grab one picture to show the RC workers before I was stopped taking pictures by the workers on the island. RC did do a price match (at least they gave me part of it as I couldn't prove the Johnnie Blue price) In the end I got 2 for $285 and am very happy.

while I had issues on Allure I was able to make calls and get calls. I even called the Casino Reservation line right after getting my certificate because I didn't want to miss out on the Junior Suite that was available (got it :-) ). My biggest issue seemed to be streaming Sirius while up in the Solarium.

They were showing some soccer on Allure last week. The espn Channels in the room were the Carib versions. Not much of a selection was on throughout the ship which was aggravating some passengers as it was Champions Week in College Football.

Also you can pay $25 per person and the luggage will be taken from your room right to the plane. You will only need to lug your carry on with you. They bring your the tags for your luggage AND your boarding pass. For $50 my wife an I loved the convenience.

We just stayed there for the cruise we were just on and I agree that it is very convenient. our only issues were that the check in seemed to take too long (maybe we were just tired) and that the water pressure in the shower was non-existent. We will be staying there in April for our Harmony Cruise.

Does anyone know if in fact the Johnnie Walker sale is still on going? It was last year when we went to Canada and we leave Saturday on Allure. Thanks, Seth
