Since we do not pay any gratuity on our vouchers we always tip the waiter/bartender for our drinks. This has become second nature to us and would not even think now of not tipping. Our nightly trip includes a stop by guest services or the casino cashier for $1 bills for the next day. Makes the waiters look for you for future drinks.

If you use Next Cruise to book your next Casino comp cruise using a Casino certificate earned while on your cruise, you just need to fill out the paperwork and drop the slip off to Next Cruise. They will enter your information, charge your $200 deposit to the card you indicate on the form and send you a confirmation number to use when you call the Casino number to book. You get OBC based on the level of cabin you book. Also a new incentive they have for Casino cruise bookings with the earned certificate is if you now choose a GTY cabin you will receive an additional $200 free play for the listed person on the cruise certificate.

They may put your checked bag into "time out" with an attached corded USB hub but once they see it they will let it go (had that happen). We now carry our hubs in our carry-on as they generally are more lenient on seeing and passing it through. I pack mine in with my laptop with its power supply and cords and have not had any issues. My wife has hers in a bag with all her charging cords and it passes right through.

Then there is what I call Diamond Plus-Plus at 340 cruise points with additional perks. You get a free lunch with the officers (Cheers with an Officer) at least on 7 day cruises, upgraded bath amenities (small tubes of boutique shampoo, body wash and lotion that my wife loves) and an additional Bonus gift for 5 night and longer cruises. The lunch is a great treat as you get a Chops steak, seafood and other selections on the menu. Sure saved me some money on additional specialty restaurant.

I have been on cruises where they close the doors at showtime and if you are late you do not get in. You can leave once it starts but no reentry. I think that would be fine by me if they all instituted that rule.

This is our go-to drink at Windjammer as soon as we walk onto the ship. Have to get this so we can stroll to our muster station.😄

The wife found this Valentines Day cruise that she wanted. Perfect time for a romantic getaway (and my favorite snorkeling spot).

There is no way to really tell until the day of sailing. You can look at the ships total capacity and figure it will be about 90% if it is not a typical week of kids sailing and 98% if it is a week of kids sailing. Pretty much normal now days.

The people taking the photos have no idea who is and is not in your cabin. They will snap the picture of whomever stands in front of them. They only ask the cabin number when they are through. I have seen many "group" photos taken on our cruises and have not heard one person tell them they have unauthorized people in the picture. Get your group together and have your pictures taken. The cabin number is for the one who will pay for the pic.

Agreed. With our C&A status we save hundreds of dollars on each cruise which allows more savings towards another. We have friends who only sail on Carnival due to their reward status and we mostly (95%) sail on Royal due to ours.

The wife's monthly cruise in March. Think I will tag along just to make sure she has fun and doesn't get into trouble. 😁

Second half of our B2B cruise. Don't do these very often and should be interesting where they put us on a B2B double GTY. The RCCL representative said she would tag both dates to hopefully get the same cabin but I won't hold my breath on that.

They are coolers but we have found that you can prop the cabinet door (not the refrigerator door) open a little and the cooler works much better. It needs some air flow to work properly and the closed cabinet does not cut it. It keeps our drinks cold for us. If you do need a proper refrigerator for medical storage then use the form and request one. Follow up with your room steward when you get there and they can expedite for you if it is not already in place.
