If you made the one bet and left You probably got Maybe one point.. points for table games go by how many hours you play and what your average bet per hand or spin is.. So if you played that one spin I can't imagine you got many points

Tony Im looking at the weather channel and we are about to come back down to 49 tonight lol. But it said Thursday it will warm up

Don't take this to sound rude its not meant that way just informative. I have been on 60 Royal Caribbean cruises and I am Signature in the Casino so I do spend a lot fo time in there lol. I also before I get on buy dining packages and drink packages but they DONT treat you any different or better just because you spend money online before you go. They expect you to do that. Don't get me wrong the casino staff is always very friendly and nice to me and I get a certificate every time plus champagne, cookies, and fruit sent to my room but that's IT. They don't comp you restaurants they only take $20 dollars off for every 1000 points you get and then of course once your prime you get free drinks in casino and the 5% fee waved to take money out on the card and then I like since I'm signature I get one free Voom device. All I am trying to say is please don't go into it thinking because you bought packages before hand they will treat you better like I said Royal is basically expecting people to do this thats why they made drink prices so high and food in the dining room and windjammer so bad in my opinion. Some people say its wonderful but in my opinion its awful. Anyway I hope you have a wonderful time on your first cruise and just understand the comps are not like Vegas or AC and you will be fine.

Oasis dry dock is Right AFTER the Euro season this year. Basically once its done In Europe they will begin the dry dock in October and it will get to Florida just in time for the Thanksgiving cruise. So If Allure does the exact same thing then No it will not be Amped for the Transatlantic you are looking at

I personally live 10 min from this hotel. Its in a good area. If you don't have a rental car you can take about a 10 min Uber to various restaurants, shopping, and movies. I would suggest Westfield Broward Mall, or Sawgrass mall.. Sawgrass mall has many more options but both are good.

Alaska is always more expensive than the Caribbean. If you want the best deal for an Alaskan cruise you need to book as soon as they release the Itineraries. I believe they just released the 2020 ones you should look at those if you want the best deal.

I also want to know where you have heard of these upgrades being so popular? I go on cruise forum sites all day long and most people say the same thing it is so HARD to get an upgrade. Also the Royal UP program gets emailed to you. Make sure Royal has your email address as that is the only way you can Bid. Basically about 120 days or less before your cruise Royal looks at all the inventory it has on your sailing and sends people Bid offers through Royal UP. It tells you what the Min you can bid and what a strong bid would be. Even if you bid a strong bid Royal is under no obligation to accept your bid. If you really want a window or balcony room the only way to make sure it happens is to buy one. Hoping for a free upgrade is just not going to happen. As I said 45 Royal cruises and I never even got one call to upgrade. Also The Royal UP program is not free and sometimes just calling Royal and paying the difference in the room is less than what they want for a bid. Sorry this is not the news you were hoping for but I do hope it all works out for you.

Upgrades for free or little cost are very Rare. To put it into perspective for you I have been on 45 Royal Caribbean cruises and I am Diamond Plus and not once been offered an upgrade. Also Royal Caribbean just implemented their new Royal Up program. Its a program where you get an email to bid on room upgrades. Really the only way I think you will get an upgrade is if you get an email to bid and win your bid or if you call and pay what the upgrade is. Sorry that's not the news you wanted to hear but Even Matt the man who runs this page has said he has never just got a free upgrade.

I Live in Ft. Lauderdale.. I just want you to know the Miami airport might be busy that week because that is also spring break for Public School in Ft. Lauderdale and I'm sure people will be flying out of Miami to go places so good idea you decided to come a day early.

reading this post made me smile. I live in Ft. Lauderdale and have for my whole life.. I have eaten at La Bamba for the past 25 years and I absolutely love it. I prob eat there or take out from there once a week.

Yes, This can absolutely be changed onboard and you can pick any days and times that are available as long as you didn't buy the First night done right package or the BOGO 2 night then those require the first night but all the other packages you can change it for how you want it. I suggest you go right away when you get onboard to make all your dining reservations so you get the days and times you want.

Auto ,Problem is Indy doesn't do 4-5 nighters in the summer. It moves back to Europe during the summer. 4-5 nighters in the summer is so hard to find. You will be limited to 4 nights on Marner, 4 Nights on Navigator, or sometimes Adventure does a 6 night Canada out of NJ.. I know Anthem won't be here but you can't go wrong with Mariner or Navigator both will have awesome upgrades.

it has also always been $29 on Harmony

I have found that $18 was always the "sale price" when you were looking it must of been on sale and you just didn't realize or it was Royal's lovely IT issues. The real price was always $26 so good thing you booked for $18 because its not going to get lower than $18. Infact it is supposed to be going up for 2019 so you really got a good deal.

Tony you and I are on exactly the same page! I love playing blackjack and Roulette as long as possible. I love meeting fellow table mates who end up becoming my gambling partners and friends all week and yes getting the free alcohol is also fun. I either travel with my boyfriend who does not mind that I enjoy gambling as long as I have dinner with him, see shows with him, and spend little quality time with him lol. We have no children so I don't have to worry about that. If I am not traveling with him I am traveling with my best friend and fellow gambler so again no problem there with being able to gamble lol. I agree with you people who don't live in Florida and deal with the heat just don't get how we feel but thats why I don't criticize others cruising habits and thats one of the things I love about cruising the variety and that there is something for everyone. I also don't enjoy the smoke and went on a celebrity cruise last year which was great because they don't have smoking in their casino's but It was a short cruise and I didn't have the opportunity to gain enough points to get a free or discounted cruise. What I wish is Celebrity could look at my play with Royal and offer me a deal and that way I would have a chance to go on a 7 night cruise on celebrity and gain some status but every time I ask they say no thats not our policy. Anyway I'm always happy to chat with a fellow gambler and I bet one of these days we will end up on the same sailing since we live so close and I'm sure club Royale is always sending you offers too. I'm going on the Signature cruise this Sunday on Oasis so I'm excited the casino will have a lot of fellow gamblers to play with!

Michael not to discredit your opinion but isn't that the point of a cruise? Everyone gets to do whatever they want. I live in Ft. Lauderdale and I don't want to bake in the sun on my vacation. I do that all day everyday.. What I can't do is play blackjack in a casino. Do you know why because in my state of Florida the only place blackjack is legal is in Indian run Casinos like Hard Rock. Well I refuse to play there because in my opinion it is rigged and never once have I won there. However, on the ship I have won thousands of dollars. I have also lost but I love the fact that I also walk away every time with a free cruise.. Infact this year alone I have 8 free cruises from my play in the casino and its fun for me. I absolutely love sitting in there for 8 hours a day playing cards. Do I still do other things of course. I see all the shows and go to all the restaurants but I don't sit out at the pool because thats boring for me and I can do that at home. So I think its all about perspective and what you like to do. Also I am diamond plus with 290 points and I have been on 48 Royal cruises so all the shows and activities are quite repetitive and sine I cruise like 8 times a year what I like doing is sitting and playing cards. This is why I love Royal everyone can do whatever they want and meet up for dinner to talk about their day. So im glad you enjoy other activities on the ship and Happy Cruising!

You can order a cake I think for about $20-$25 and they will come sing happy anniversary. Also you can order room decorations I think for $40-$50 which can be found online in the gifts and gear section. Other than that I don't think they do anything for you.

Hello, I know the answers to All of these... 1. There is No Caribbean Stub Poker on Anthem 2. There is no European Roulette for sailings done in the United States they all have double zero for ships that leave out of United States... One exception I saw was in the high limit area but I never saw it open up 3. Black Jack is payed 3:2 if you play at a $15 Min table.. If you play less than $15 table then it is 6:5... Also Single deck pays 6:5 always 4. They do not Allow Surrender on Any Ship that is a company policy 5. Some are hand shuffled some have the constant Machine.. The Hand Shuffled games are 8 decks 6. The Dealer Must hit soft 17 7. Drinks are only free when you reach the new tier level Prime.. Which means you need to accumulate 2,500 points in gambling.. This can be done with slot play or table play.. Hope this helps you if you have any more casino questions feel free to ask. Basically all their rules benefit the house and not the gambler unfortunatley but I love blackjack so I still play and play for hours.

Hello, There is a Child rate as long as your child will eat off the standard Children's menu which is usually Chicken Fingers, Hot dogs, Macaroni and Cheese, hamburger. If your Child wants to eat from the regular chops menu then there is no discount. Also dessert is absolutely included with chops lunch and it is delicious.

You can ask the pit bosses in the casino and see what they say. It Never hurts to ask.

Hello, yes for Slots you get 1 point for every $5 wagered. If you plan on spending less than $500 in the casino don't worry too much about points.. You might be able to get 400-800 points if your lucky which then if you do you would get a certificate for either $100-$200 off another cruise.. The casino system now favors big gamblers not really the casual person who wants to spend $100 for entertainment.

I have heard once again on the Presidents day thing its which agent you talk to. Seems to always be how it is lol. But I am glad they gave it to you over presidents day. Also I am Signature at the Casino discount is still shitty. It now just goes by your play on the last cruise and not your tier level, but like you said in the past it was so much better and combinable with other things.

Hello, The Annual Prime cruise needs to be 8 nights or shorter so a 9 night won't work. Also it can't be done during Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years Eve, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, or fourth of July.. Any other time and 8 nights or less and your good.

What an awesome story. Those Club Royale agents are not easy as we know. I feel like I have talked to at least 30 different people and every time I have got 30 different answers. Plus B2B on Anthem sounds like Heaven. I really love that ship I hope you have a fabulous time. Cant wait to hear your opinion when you return.

Eric, with the new rules as long as you accumulate 2500 points throughout the year (April 1- Mar 31) Then you get to keep your prime status. So if one cruise you earn 600 and another you earn 1900 your good to go. I go on a variety of cruises because I live in Ft. Lauderdale I take about 8-10 cruises a year but a lot of them are 3 nighters. I would say about 4-5 are 3 nighters. Then about 2-3 are 4-5 nighters and 2-3 7 nighters. On the 3 nighters its impossible for me when betting about $25 a hand to earn 2500 points in three days lol. On a 3 night cruise I probably earn around 1000 points. Its the 7 night cruises where you need to make up your points. On those I try to earn 4000 points so I can get the free balcony cruises plus I'm Signature so I have to try to get up to 25,000 points which I'm not sure if I will be keeping again for this year but we will see I do have 6 cruises coming up before the end of the rating period. Also I think you ended up with a win. Like you said you played 35 hours on a free trip and didn't lose any money to me this is a big WIN. Glad you had fun.
