I'm glad you posted this since I prefer to drink my water room temperature so i'll just swipe 1 bottle from the room.

That's ok...after the cake and sandwich tray, I wouldn't have had any room left for it anyway. 😄

I didn't know that was a free perk too. I already ordered a Bon Voyage vanilla cake and a medium finger sandwich tray for the stateroom so I doubt i'll have room left for a Chocolate Delight. But i'll remember this for next time.

This is my thought as well and I guess after the past 2 years it's understandable. I'm just glad I asked here so I know what to do to get them. I'll be sure to confirm it with my steward before opening the room water and if I need to use a coupon or my S&S card at the bar to redeem it, i'll just do that.

This is good to know. I'll confirm with the cabin steward as well. It would be easier to just take one of the bottles in the room and be credited for it. I'll still have to schlep to Pixels for my pin though. I didn't know about this. That's something nice to look forward to when I reach Platinum.

It's almost as if they don't want passengers to know. I'm glad I asked now.

Wow. I wouldn't have known that if you didn't mention it. I love collecting the pins. I guess there's instructions for both the water and pin left in the stateroom?

Noted. Won't be looking for any coupons now. Thanks!

I'm sailing solo this Friday so i'm only expecting 1 bottle in the room, but 2 would be a nice surprise. If it's not there, i'll look out for any coupons to redeem. Thanks.

Thanks. I guess they leave a coupon in the cabin for me to redeem it with?

I haven't sailed since 2019. Do they still put a complimentary 1.5 liter of bottled water in staterooms for Gold members?

That's good to know...i'll definitely check it out in Feb!

How does the Baha Mar casino compare to the one at Atlantis? I've been to the Atlantis casino a couple of times but never the one at Baha Mar and i'm debating if it's worth visiting over returning to Atlantis for my next sailing in Feb.

I see, thanks. I don't mind our taxes helping out that way...if it ever happened to me it's comforting to know my fellow Americans will help save me.

Then who covers the cost of all this? I'm just curious. Doesn't someone have to foot the bill?

He'll need the winnings to pay for his search and rescue. Doesn't it cost something crazy like $100k+ and would his travel insurance cover it if he has any?

Can you still pull OBC as cash from the slots? I usually gamble it all away anyway, but hope they haven't stopped the ability to withdraw it if you prefer to have the cash.

Thanks for posting this info. I had no idea it came back and just went and bought it for my Feb sailing and was able to purchase it with the onboard credit given at time of booking. I don't remember being able to do this in the past, but I was able to buy a bunch of stuff like the wifi package, treats and drinks for the room and now FTTF all with the $200 OBC they gave me when I booked the sailing. I always thought you couldn't use that until you were on board but very happy to discover you can use it for all this stuff!

Yes, I know those penny slots are always 50 cents to a dollar a spin or more and never actually one cent per spin. I go to Tampa Hard Rock Casino with one of them regularly and we've talked about that while playing them, so that wasn't what she was talking about. She said all she saw was $1 and $5 machines throughout the casino and I pressed her about that saying she had to be mistaken but she swore up and down yesterday over breakfast after I picked them up....I think you are right about the age thing lol...she's 82, but sharp as a tack....(or so I thought). I did go straight to the source yesterday because I love the low denomination slots and asked Carnival directly and they replied back to me that my friends were definitely mistaken and they do have the penny and 25 cent slots in their casinos and shows were not shut down. I sail in February on Liberty and all these things they mentioned scared me and i'm so relieved that none of it was true.

Thanks everyone for easing my mind. I don't know what the hell they were talking about....maybe they dreamt it lol. It did seem absurd to me that they'd make everything $1 and up slots, but they both insisted that's what it was in the casino. They probably had too much to drink. I'm just relieved it's not true!

No they play in Tampa all the time and know the penny slots aren't actually a penny lol. They specifically said all they saw were $1 and $5 slots. I joked that maybe they stumbled into the high limit room but they said it was all through the casino...all $1 and $5 denominations.

Thanks for confirming. They swore up and down this morning that they looked everywhere and couldn't find any penny, nickel or quarter slots and that everything was $1 and $5. They're not the type to lie or make up stories, so I think they had to have just overlooked them....but those denominations are everywhere so it's hard to do that which raised my concern. I love the penny and quarter slots and would hate to see them gone.

I picked my friends up this morning from Liberty and both tell me that the slots in the casino are now minimum $1.00 and nothing less than that which I find incredibly hard to believe. They said all they saw were $1 and $5 slots and nothing of lower denomination. Are they blind or is this true? With the popularity of penny slots, I can't believe Carnival would take them away and that would make going to the casino less fun for me. Both also said there were no shows all week which I also find hard to believe...and also that the dance club and piano bar was shut down all week too. I asked them what did they do all week, and they said "ate and sat on the balcony". They are up in years and i'm wondering if they were just not looking or basically out of their minds. I can't believe Carnival would do any of these things and I did an internet search and came up with no news of any of it. Please tell me they're just blind lol.
