80,000+ Club (12/15)

  1. The one thing I want is free wifi the whole cruise. The rest seems subject to change like oh too many high level this time only top 30 can eat in ck and use suite lounge. I'll never be top 30 lol maybe if I do little grandeur idk but other than the wifi, nothing else I want or expect to get. I have 18 rcl booked so i will hit pinnacle but not until after my TA unfortunately. Takes soooooo long. 13 days + 10 for TA is a lot of wifi to pay for, but the rest is nothing to me. I'm interested in trying HAL have done most of the others. My friends claim HAL has the best food so I want to try it.
  2. And this is only a 3 or 4 day cruise. If it's a week it would be more worth it. For 3 nights not worth the extra stress for me.
  3. I was very surprised on carnival they have machines where you can bet on sports. Wonder why royal doesnt do that. Surely extra income for cruiseline.
  4. I always book online, not from the app ahead of time. Sometimes one works and not the other. Doesnt matter, use whichever works best.
  5. The no mans land from 175 pts for D+ to 700 for pinnacle is what I call a LONG stretch between. As a solo I can do 40 with a b2b or so, but the stretch to 700 ... feels like forever to me.
  6. Oopps didnt mean to post this here. Please ignore. I thought I posted to the what are you doing thread, not here.. told ya I was exhausted. Sorry. Too late to delete.
  7. Until you hit diamond with the free 4 drinks a day and day of free wifi not much really until then to get excited about. Diamond is only 80 pts. Not that many.
  8. My guess is if you wanted something pressed or cleaned you would pay for it. Not be washing laundry in your bathroom sink. Cant cost that much to send it out, though I get free laundry so dont know the cost. If I ran out of tee shirts, I go into the next port and treat myself to a new tee shirt to wear, done that before. There are stores in the ports. Seems much ado over nothing to me. I also plan to do mardi gras on carnival where they also dont have laundry rooms any more. Things change. People pay for laundry or I buy a new tee shirt. Have I ever washed out something with a stain yes, but I dont do all my laundry in my cabin. I dont know what level you need for a free laundry bag so maybe I'm just not seeing the issue because I get it free.
  9. I have a b4b in oct I added 3 legs to recently. My awesome ta managed to find a cabin to stay in this late which is amazing. All the american groups were sold out or gone he added me to canadian on those 3, never happened before. I didnt think it was worth flying home just for a 8 day to coco cay so asked him about adding. I also wasnt aware this early oct groups could be sold out. Or not available. Starting oct 6. He is a miracle worker this time. Mariner is coming into Galveston for one 7 day, then doing short hops. I'd almost rather stay hime I'm so stressed. My buyers thought they could just get me to change to whatever bs he wanted. Tried to tell me how busy hes been and he has to get his credit checked and start the loan process. I agreed to 10 extra days to close. So he tells the title company to add 30 days and remove the original buyer, his friend. Says if they are both on the title the payment goes from 1k to 1900. I dont think that's possible but I dont care whose name is on the title but he never even asked me. I told her 10 days and if he doesnt close I'm done. Changed movers to may 27 and 28 now. And then title company needs a wet signature from me. I have to pay a notary to come to me wherever I am. Oddly I could buy in florida twice via docu sign. Not this title company, I need to sign in person in front of a notary. I coukdnt see straight the other day I was so mad. He thinks hes some kind of flipper expert and tried to convince me extensions to close are automatic. And what if he doesnt close in 30 days and I'm unwilling anyway to have this house sit empty 30 days. I hate liars and people who think I can be manipulated. He was all like he was doing this for a family friend, not himself. I dont care, either buy it or not. I dont care how busy you are if this isnt a priority then let me sell to someone else. I'm quiet in person I guess and people think a push over. I didnt even mention my cruise, why let him know the house will be empty next week if he forgot. My time is obviously of no consequence. If it was a couple days due to something out of his control I'd say ok, but not because hes been to busy to apply for a loan. I suspect also hes trying to buy time to come up with the downpayment on the loan. Cancel then and let's move on. It was his attitude made me so mad. Dont agree to 10 days and tell the title company to write it as 30 days. Slippery. I feel exhausted tbh mentally. Not in the mood to cruise. Leaving tomorrow for san antonio. My plans were all lined up.
  10. I have yet for them to move my stuff on hangers. Twice was the week my steward was on vacation so someone else had to do it. Last time they told me to pack myself up and they would move mynsuitcase. Not 1 time have they moved my hanging stuff. I've moved me mostly.
  11. I must be the only person here who really hates the hassle of packing up and moving cabins.
  12. I talked to him today about the price and he says he is middle of the road pricing for this lens, he knows some doctors charging 10k, 1k more. Also he has access to a machine during surgery that not all surgeons have access to. It compares your eyes to 1000s of eyes world wide to determine during surgery the exact best fit for your eyes for a better outcome. The machine zooms in and takes a picture and then I hear him 18,1 or whatever, it shows him the exact best lens for each eye lens. I could have easily driven home by myself it was so good immediately. Not every surgeon has access to this kind of high tech machine. My next door neighbors of my parents need cataract surgery and were shocked by the price of the high tech lens so I asked him today more questions. I do think he is excellent. Just the price was omg. The machine sees astigmatism and all that and calculates the best lens. It's all high tech. Hed like to see me in 4 months but I'll be gone ... i hope.
  13. Idk of it's a 3 day or a 4 day, but for a 3 day I wouldn't want to change cabins. 7 days my choice might be it's worth changing. But for 3 days? Probably not.
  14. I posted this early on, from mardi gras forward no more self laundries. Same thing. Imo no one uses them. I never did. A large percentage on carnival get free laundry. Why would I wash my own if I get it free. Same as i posted. When discussing lerks on carnival they say ...but i get free laundry. Now we have someone bemoaning they cant do it on royal either.
