Just insert your seapass card into the machine and make sure it recognizes you. After that, insert money, money and more money until you reach desired point level (hopefully you win some along the way). 

OK, this makes sense.  We just did slots and never did anything with the seapass card.  Thanks for the information, very helpful.
 

All you need to do is tap or insert your Seapass card at the slot machines and make sure that it's showing your name on the little screen. If you did that, then you were earning points.  At the tables, they ask you for your Seapass card when you sit down to play so it's earning you points already.
You can use http://www.clubroyaleoffers.com to check your points.  Your Club Royale number is your Crown & Anchor loyalty number.
The casino year runs from April 1 - March 31.  Points are accumulated during the entirety of that year no matter how many cruises you take during that time. These points count towards your annual tier level. There are four tiers: CHOICE, PRIME, SIGNATURE, MASTERS.  CHOICE is no points, PRIME is 2500 points, SIGNATURE is 25,000 points, and MASTERS is 100,000 points. Once you cross a tier threshold you have earned that tier for the remaining of the casino year AND also the following year.  So, earning PRIME on May 7, 2025, means that you will be PRIME through March 31, 2026. If you don't re-qualify between April 1, 2026 and March 31, 2026 you will reset back to CHOICE.
If you hit PRIME, SIGNATURE, or MASTERS you qualify for an annual tier cruise which will be issued in your Club Royale account during the April after the year that you qualify. 
Slots points are earned at a rate of 1 point for every $5 played. Video poker is 1 point for every $10 played. Table games vary based on how much time you play and what you are betting.  200 points earned during one sailing is the threshold that they say you can potentially start to receive cruise offers in your Club Royale account. You can login at the URL I gave above and it will show any offers that you have available.
While on a cruise you can also earn instant certificates from the amount of points you earn during that cruise. The casino host desk will have a QR code to scan that will show you what is available. Each of those instant certificates has a bonus offer (additional freeplay or a free cruise or better cabin category) that you can only get if you book a Next Cruise open booking while on that cruise.

You will be fine getting in to the show. Just don't show up 5 min prior and hope to get a good seat.
Show up 30 min early to get good seats and a drink order in while you still can.

@OCSC Mike and @Jolly Ogre  OK good to know.  I figured there wasn't a better work around but wanted to confirm here. 
 
Hopefully the reservation option comes to the other ships at some point.  We will just make sure to prioritize our time accordingly.  Thanks again. 

No, there are no reservations on the smaller classes period... CP, phone, onboard, doesn't matter.
You'll have no problem seeing Grease as long as you show up.

I have been on Indy and can confirm this.

I always think of the Parks and Rec episode where they make fun of the one character, forget his name, about liking calzones

@Matt has a video for just about every scenario. 

They had them on Odyssey and they tasted great. Has anyone else seen them on other ships? 
 

Fashion police at it again.  My husband wears neat clean shorts and a button down or polo shirt to dinner.  I will wear a sundress or other dress probably with a light sweater.  We keep our elbows off the table, napkins in our laps, use our inside voices and chew with our mouths closed.  I’m not having dinner in the WJ.  I’m afraid you will just have to deal with it.  Pay attention to your table mate instead of other diners.

Here is a map of the Royal Beach Club.  From what I am reading its an all-inclusive pass.  Food and drink (including alcohol) is covered in the pass.

Hello, 
I know this one might be super early to start, but I wanted to see about getting help or helping others know when Cruise Planner sales were on.  Also, when the entertainment reservations become available.  
My wife and I are sailing this week and looking forward to exploring the ship and fun in the sun for a few days.

I had a similar experience with MEI.  1st vacation through them I was satisfied overall.  2nd there were issues with communication and things we asked to be booked were neglected.  Response time was slow over email and I had a hard time connecting over the phone, which is my preferred method to talk when discussing plans.  I had to remove vacations from them when pricing changed without explanation.  I lost confidence at that point and have been booking things on my own.  I considered using a TA again for an all inclusive resort we booked, but decided not to. 
Each their own, I am not advocating for not using a TA or even to avoid MEI.  I think my experience could just come down to a difference in preferences which lead to the issues experienced.

I did the class on Harmony back in May and there was maybe 20 down both sides of a few tables.  I would consider it an intimate experience, but there was some "telephone" going on at times. 

I will try to come back and post this.  Our sailing is not for another year.  But booking hotels and flights will have to start happening soon.  I prefer to book well in advance for our hotels and keep track of the price to see if I can get a better deal down the road.

Be vigilant on checking the Cabana prices for changes. If you find a price you're comfortable with-grab it. If the price goes down, don't cancel right away.
Book the better price under your traveling partner's name. You avoid losing the Cabana to someone who is a faster typer...lol.
 Only one name is needed for the reservation.... I wish I was joking but I learned this lesson the hard way...have a great cruise!

I'm also on the Oasis.
 

I have a sailing the end of January next year and most CP items are not available yet. I'm guessing 7-10 month mark it will start to populate but I check everyday.
