Hooah!

Yep, and I am one of them.... Perhaps we can shake hands onboard.

So, are you on the 25th sailing?

MyVegas just opened up a couple of new rewards. Resort World in Bimini, and Couples resort in Jamaica, both have low and high reward point premiums. As a native of South Florida, I am very tempted to splurge and hit that 1 million point weekend with the wife. I remember going to Bimini as a child and it would be nice to return. (Oh, for those that watch "The Bachelor" that resort was featured this season. (or at least I was told that by my wife)

Thank you, I appreciate the responses. We have a couple of sea days, do most people eat all 3 meals in the MDR? We plan on doing a bunch of relaxing (When I am not working. I am a Server Engineer, so, even when I am on vacation, I am not on vacation.)

Good evening all, So after watching several YouTube videos, a question of menus was called to mind. Are the menus for each of the restaurants published daily or at the beginning of the cruise? And that brings up the method of publishing, When and how are they published? Thanks, Russ

I usually farm all week and 500 spin (in the blind) on Saturday. Some weeks I am up, some weeks I am down I am usually between 75 and 85 million chips.

Roger that. Every time you level on the FB app, it is a bunch of Loyalty. (I am level 1023 and receive 1000 LP every level)

So, it sounds like you are playing only the Mobile (IOS or Android) they do not have farming hotels. The PC (Flash) Version does have the hotels that you must build before you can collect.

Remember you have 2 different platforms to play. (The chips do not combine, but the Loyalty/Reward Points do)

I have been "Playing" Daily for 4-5 years. I have never paid a dime. On weekdays, I spend 1 minute collecting from my strip in the morning and another minute in the evening. On Saturday, I start a 500 spin game before I run and shut it off when I return. The secret to my success has been consistency. That said, every year my wife and I have enjoyed free room in Las Vegas, and Biloxi, MS. I still had 1.7 Million Loyalty points before buying this cruise, I still have 922,000 points left. We will spend time in Las Vegas this year and enjoy rooms and shows for free.

I appreciate everyone's input. I am not cheap, I am just trying to budget. (After all this is a free MyVegas Cruise) Thanks, Russ

Good Morning all, I have seen several posts that contradict each other on gratuities and the Drink packages.\ Some state that the gratuities are included, some state not.

As of 0617 Central time on the 31st of January, 2017, what is the policy? Do I pay 18% on top of each drink or not? Thanks, Russ

Good morning folks, So I have not been to Mexico in years (like 35 or so), does the exchange rate change (Most notably the recent drop) change the prices in Cozumel or Costa Maya, or are things priced in USD? We lived in Germany where we actively traded dollars for DMarks on a daily/weekly basis, but more recently we vacation in Aruba which is tied to the USD. Thanks, Russ

Well, it depends on what you want to do and how much time you have. We visted Aruba for a week last year and are going back for another week this year. Do you want to Snorkle? Or Water Sports? Or just relax? Food? Tell me what you want, and I will tell you the Pros and Cons.

Very nice... Congrats! We will have to meet up. Russ

I spoke with an RCCL rep this afternoon, the process was simple and quick, I needed to pay port tax and gratuities, I requested an upgrade to a higher class stateroom, and now I am on Deck 6 in a balcony stateroom. (The free one for this cruise was inside, they have offered balcony staterooms on other cruises). I added the reservation number to mycruises, and everything was there. Internet was offered at 30% off, Drink packages at 20% off.

The only taxes I am responsible for are port taxes. (According to the email I received).

They have both PC and Mobile versions, the reward points combine, the "Chips" do not. I am a daily player, but, I just play for a few minutes in the morning (Collecting from my strip hotels, and spinning a daily wheel) and again in the evening for a few minutes. I don't play much, but I am consistent. I spent 750,000 reward points for the cabin, and 100,000 for the $250 Shipboard Credit. I still have ~800,000 reward points. I am a level 1011.

Good Afternoon RCB folks, I am writing at Matt's request to let you know about how my wife and I are going on a free(yes, you read that correctly, free) cruise this March 25th out of Ft. Lauderdale on the Independence of the Seas. A little background here: I have been "playing" the MyVegas games on mobile and desktops for years. My wife and I usually use the rewards to add weekends to our annual trip to Las Vegas and a free weekend to Biloxi, MS yearly. But, last year RCCL became a sponsor and added discounts for cruises that were meh. This year they added free cabins on select sailings. My wife is a teacher so her vacation time is set in stone. Well as luck would have it, the stars aligned and we secured a reward for a free trip and $250 shipboard credit. The process as stated in the purchase seems straight forward, but, I will document the process for those that come after us. Have a wonderful week Russ Stringer MAJ (Ret.), US Army
