Any other Prime or above casino folks just order a drink from every roaming waiter that walks by to up the chances of actually receiving said drink and then ends up accidentally double fisting or is it just me?

I am super late to this party. The freeloaders have been keeping me so busy I have not been on the blogs for weeks now. This is the perfect time for me to read this blog. @TheBoss518 and I just booked Indy for August. We actually got a casino comp for the cruise. This is our first "free" cruise (we of course paid to upgrade to a suite gty) I feel pretty lucky because the last time we were in the casino was two years ago. I ran the Facebook page for that sailing and ran a slot pull. depite not spending any more money there, we still get offers and this was the first one we have been able to do. 
We are excited because we are leaving the freeloaders home with the grand parents for this one. 
I do have a question for all you  casino pros. When you book a casino comp, do you get the opportunity for royal up bids? We did a suite gty rate because we would be perfectly fine in a jr suite since there aren't big differences in suite benefits moving to a GS. I don't feel like paying an extra 1k per person to book into a GS directly. There are so many rooms open still so fingers crossed we get a magical room assignment by default. I just found out that this cruise is also a Gaming and Anime convention cruise so I cant wait to see all the kids in their cosplay🤣 This should make for a fun blog when we go!

You will still get a RoyalUp bid offer. What you get to bid on will depend on the category you booked, which in your case doesn't matter.
But on Oasis class for example they will offer bids on a different balcony types if you booked a balcony guarantee even if you've already been assigned a room unofficially (see a muster station listed but still showing GTY) so essentially you could have been assigned a spacious oceanview balcony already and not know, bid on and win a RoyalUp to a regular oceanview balcony, and effectively pay extra for the downgrade.

Perfect! Thanks for the info!!

I too sometimes struggle with insomnia. I’m either up really late, or really early. I will wander the ship and explore, grab a deck chair on the upper decks and try to catch a few more zzzzz’s. I’ll grab some coffee in the AM and head to an upper deck forward and watch the ship come into port, then move to where I can see all the port operations etc. Even though I am tired from the insomnia, I find these times for me to be the most relaxing part of my cruise. It’s peaceful before all the hustle and bustle of awake passengers etc begin.

I have done chill island cabanas twice (back when they were $300, can you imagine!!) and really like those. 

The room looks amazing. Its too bad the glass in the shower is frosted, you could have had fun with that🤣
