KarmaCruisers

Thanks..it’s part of a princess package..I’ll give it a shot.

So I’m trying to book a reservation at crown grille using the MedallionClass App..but it wants to bill my credit card; we have a free speciality dining included in our booking…so how do I make the reservation and use it?

Not on RC; but on Carnival we’ve hit $10k (grand jackpot) and they gave us a strap of 100’s another lady flopped a heart Royal for $30k..gave chips at the table then cash at the cage.

If you just want to go to the Mendenhall glacier; go to the little “booths” by the base of the Mt Roberts Tramway; $40 each and it’s a direct shuttle over there and stay as long as you like (multiple shuttles running) literally haha; they’ll be a guy screaming “GLACIER SHUTTLE!” Just ask him

The manufactures of the slot games or video poker the video poker machines aren’t THAT bad (I think around 6-7% house edge). The manufacturer for the slots, either make them in Class II or Class III (either “bingo” or “Vegas” style) the slots on the cruise ships are definitely Class III, so I have no reason to not believe they are in the 10-15% house edge zone.

Unfortunately you’ll be forced to LUG AROUND your phone..which looks like this:

More details please! how many nights was your cruise; how many points did you earn?

Oddly at work we have these “plastic” drinking cups; but the cups are SOMEHOW compostable..why can’t they make a straw like that cup??? (To feel more “plastic” than paper)

Sorry I meant machines (all video poker) less theo though ; you’re right (3% vs. 10%)

On a recent 3-day carnival I earned like 3500 points (all slots) and got a free balcony bounce-back. $17,500 coin-in with a 10% house edge…$1750 expected loss for a balcony cabin for two..not a bad deal at that rate.

We sailed on the Royal in 2019 with Matt O; and he was a riot!

Better than carnival! after 10:30pm; carnival only has garbage can pizza or $$ crappy room service.

CCL (Same games on carnival as on princess) offers: - Craps (Only Double Odds) - Blackjack (6:5 on tables less than $25) - Let It Ride - Heads Up Hold ‘Em (similar to UTH; but a little worse house edge) - Three Card Prime (exactly the same game as Three Card Poker; it just has a “prime” bonus bet) - Roulette (Mostly 00; but I swear I saw a 000 somewhere)

Damn; so any more than a $20 ante/blind and you’re not getting the “full” payout!? That’s low AF!

Princess tables don’t charge either way (when you get it from your bank or the room; only carnival is that cheap lol)

On the Sky Princess we found 7/5 Bonus Poker (98.01%) for $1 denom ($5 a hand). Best vp we’ve seen on a cruise ship.

We did the same thing..except we do have friends that will join us. for next time though definitely I’ll call up the carnival casino company.

I was wondering about this.. so on my princess cruise next year; on my freeplay offer, it says this: is this the “vip” that you speak of?

The board just answered this for me..for the other two adults you can’t book it ahead of time; you just have to eat the 10% higher cost and book it once aboard. (The carnival system doesn’t know what your casino offer is; so it can’t “see” that you have cheers already)

I know this is a carnival section..but my PVP on princess adds both my wife and I’s separate offers (Ie: I had $200 OBC and she had $500 freeplay..we get both offers on our upcoming cruise)

Probably just a better PVP than the one we got assigned, haha.

So we’ve had DOU (in casino) a few times and every time we go talk to the casino staff onboard on day1 And they all say the same thing “This would have had to been taken care of prior to boarding, we have no ability to add it” so this is why I reached out to a PVP; who told me, and I quote: “That offer is under your husband, however I would see the casino host and ask if you qualify as well. They can look at your portfolio #.” However we’ve never emailed casino@carnival…we’re just so used to working through a PVP (with princess) that we thought maybe a carnival PVP could be as effective.

I do; so does my my wife (via her own marketing offer; but carnival can NOT use individual offers like princess can) so yeah; you answered it perfectly..it’s not possible until we board. lol how did carnival spend so much on making a kickass app; yet fail miserabley elsewhere? Hahaha

So on our next cruise; I earned DOU (all over the ship) via marketing offer..however if I want to buy my wife cheers (since I already have it); the website won’t let me…it will *only* let me choose for wife AND I. So..other than waiting to purchase until I’m on the ship..how do I accomplish this? also; please don’t say use the call center (they can only see the same thing I see on the website; I know; I work with call centers frequently) also, if you say use a PVP, we tried that and she said “when you get on the boat, talk to the casino staff” (because both my wife and I separately have offers for DOU; so we asked the PVP how we can sail and BOTH use our offers {Our Princess PVP does this for us every cruise}) maybe we just got a dumb PVP?

Jr. Suites on the Fantasy class; are really just balcony rooms on another class. (Our first cruise was fantasy class in a “jr suite”)
