Where did you get 10%. More like 15 to 20. They are set as low as they can and still let you play a while. For VP single line, you have to bet 10 coins. Just got off of 16 days on Emerald. I was offered free cruises with $600 free play.

I asked about that before we hit Hawaii. I was told by one of the hotel officers that they could not get enough of them when they supplied the ship. He said there would be other shortages also. Supply issues. Also asked if they could resupply in HI. He said that they could not get small bottles there either, and other items missing. The pizza was made with wheat flour. It was not bad, either.

I would agree with you on Noro. But there are a couple cases of Covid. It also could be some type of flu. We were in the theater last week and the woman in from of us was hacking it up pretty bad for a while, no mask. We saw her the next night in Sabatinis. We were a table away, and she was still hacking it up. The rest of her group were not wearing masks or anything, so maybe she has some type of lung problems. We moved our table to another area of the restaurant. The food was good there, same for the steak house.

We are on Caribe also. In the 400's. Have not seen any quarantined cabins. Hope I do not see any. We were on an elevator yesterday, and people on it were saying that someone in their group had Covid. I had a bad upset stomach on Sunday and Monday (coming out of both ends, LOL), but feel much better today. Do not know if that was Norovirus or not. Not a good thing to get that at the end of the cruise. Getting off the ship would be almost impossible with that. I do not see any more cleaning or wiping down of anything. Been using sanitizer since getting on the boat. The 4 of us in our group are now wearing masks, which does not help that much, but feels better, LOL. Hopefully they get this contained so it does not end up affecting most everyone.

2 to 3 hour wait. Computers down. Not fun.

I just checked with Vorizon. No charge for WIFI calls to the US. I hope its not dead slow. I just need to log into my office computer. I hope that I can do that. I will do it late at night when the overall usage is less. Thanks for the info!

I have actually used something like that, and the darn things work. Was on the Oasis a few years ago in the Caribbean. Got really rough one night mid cruise. Was wearing that the whole time. Felt the motion, but did not translate to nausea.

We are taking the 7/6 cruise to HI. How is the WIFI and connectivity? Will have to work remotely, and log into my system. Have they moved to the Starlink system, I think its called? Does WIFI calling and messaging work well on the ship? It's 6 days of no cell service. A first for me in a long time.

Funny. I’m on the July 6th to HI. I am 6’2”. And have big shoulders. Sounds like showers will be challenging. I have no hair, so not worried about washing it. As long as I get my coffee in the morning, I’m good. I hope the food is at least OK. I will never know how good the sound systems are, mostly deaf. To loud, turn off the hearing aids. Guess the point is, gonna make the best of 16 days away with my family. Not gonna sweat this stuff.

When I go to Vegas or if I am somewhere where there is a lot of smoking, I wear a mask. It does help, and kills some of the smell. From what I have heard, the casinos on Princess ships have smoking areas, but it spreads out all over. The masks will help. How weird will it look if I wear rubber gloves all the time? LOL

Going on a 16 day cruise to HI. Gonna bring masks for tight spaces. I have had 3 shots and Covid once (was no fun). I had the flu a few months ago that was way worse than Covid. My wife, while being exposed to a few with covid, never got it. I am hoping that the ship does not get hit with any of those viruses. The NORO virus scares me the most. I have learned that most people are inconsiderate and selfish, and do not care if they infect someone else. Going out into crowded spaces, no matter what you have, cold, flu, or whatever, is inconsiderate and selfish. But its gonna happen.

I take it that you can use cash in both the machines and table games? I do not like to gamble on credit cards. Only bring what I am willing to lose.
