It sounds like we are talking about different types of points and credit cards. My credit card purchases earn me points for a specific hotel chain that I can use for free stays. Prepaying the gratuities would get me those points earlier, but that's most likely of no benefit to me (earning them earlier).
Mine work that way too. I probably worded one of my responses poorly to indicate otherwise.
I was originally responding to a poster that said, "Prepay a week or two prior to cruise to get our credit card points." It sounded to me like they were saying that they don't get their credit card points if they don't prepay the gratuities. I was questioning why that was.
I'm not really understanding what you are asking. Whatever charges I make during a month result in points accumulated. They aren't available the day I make the purchase but I accumulate points for every purchase. Maybe we are talking about a different type of points? My points earn me free stays in hotels.
I'm confused...you said you saw an image of a camera facing into the dark, but then you said that what the OP is seeing ("snow") is normal. Seems contradictory?
Deck 6 for sure! You are within two of decks of SO MANY things: theater, clubs, ice rink, casino, dining room, promenade, fitness center, boardwalk, schooner bar, central park.
