Colorado Beach Bum

That was the point.

Most amenities are not used by every single guest. Cruise lines decide which ones they can charge extra for and which ones are included. What may be luxury for some may not be for others. You could have this same discussions about every amenity - I don’t use the pools and hot tubs, why should I be subsidizing those that use them? Piano Bar, Comedy, Pizza and on and on.

I used to do this all the time - stop at 14 and buy the rest until I was done for the night and then get #15. But over the last few years they say you can’t even buy. Only loophole is the free drink they add to your account for the plat/diam party on excel class.

I was on Luminosa last year and we walked to Creek Street. It was just a few blocks.

Yeah, it can be. Done it a few times. One time we rebooked a SW flight on the way to FLL cause we got off ship right at 7 and didn’t want to wait for a noon flight. Easily made that 9:30 flight.

We’ve caught 9:30 flights out of FLL and checked bags.

We send out multiple bags every cruise and have never had any issues. Jeans, shorts, shirts, swimsuits, socks, underwear - basically anything that’s washer safe.

Not the experience we’ve had. With passports, just zip right through. Line usually longer but proceeds way faster - especially with facial recognition. When with the grankids and bc’s the line was short but moved slow especially when agents questioned everyone - no facial recognition. The bc ports were LB and Galveston. And when I say longer, maybe 15-20 minutes. Definitely not two hours.

First month.

It was $15 when I was on.

No dividends but if OP takes two cruises this year and gets $200 OBC, that’s just under 13% return which is way higher than past dividends. And if OP turns around and sells that stock right after getting OBC without any loss it’s not a bad move. But as others have said, get your advice from your advisor. We are all in different financial situations and what’s good for one is horrible for others.

Did you not just regular processing at the time? You prob would have got them back. We did renewals and took 3-4 weeks.

Not true. We took someone on an elite who was a red card and for that one elite cruise she had a platinum card.

Very similar ships. Hard to say which is better. A couple of the bars have different drinks, shows are a bit different, pizza and deli have different choices and other minor differences. Pretty similar experience. Pick based on your preference of where you like to sail from and which ports you prefer. Casino layout exactly the same but slots will be different with both having many of the same but not all.

DOUE works out of TX on day one as soon as the casino opens for both alcohol and non-alcohol drinks.
