What I did was always play $100.00 no matter if I spend a $10.00 or $50.00 I would always just leave the balance. Next slot play another $100.00

And that's why you got flagged.  You let your balance grow to that amount.

If it helps...  

There is no priority check in...  

When you check in (after your vax confirmation - less than a minute Checked name, dob negative 🙂  ) you will see a general check-in. Metal detector etc...  Go through the screening process (takes less than a minute) and you are good.  

OMG, I'm tired of seeing this question...  So if you are on a ship right now or just finished a sailing today like I did.   You will see a candy straw... It's vanilla or chocolate depending on the drink.  Either way they suck....   

 It doesn't matter.   Read what I posted in the other thread and you will be good.

They were totally wrong unless you had loaded up cash on your account beforehand.  The other thing which it sounds like you did is charge your room daily without withdrawing daily without playing anything or minimally.  In either case, charging your credit card daily is in no way, shape or form money laundering.  

Just got off the Magic this morning.

Here is what you can do with your non-refundable OBC.  I did this my first night.

Go to a old video poker slot machine in the casino (.25 per play)  and charge your room the amount of the credit.  It will use the "non-refundable" OBC which you will now have that amount in your players bank.  NOW THIS IS IMPORTANT.  If you immediately cash out your players bank, the system will catch this and block your account from charging your room for more funds. This is what happened to me.  However, when you go to the cashier cage and say you didn't know (which I didn't), they will unblock your account and you are good again.  At this point you have all your OBC in cash in hand and are good to go.

The other thing I learned is that the Slots now let you charge up to $1,000 to your room per day without any service charge like you would have to pay at the table games.  If you have a good credit card that give you cash back or perks and want to rack up some points, you can withdraw the $1,000 daily and cash out each day (remember to play a couple .25 spins so you don't get locked out when you cash out) and earn those rewards on your credit card.

Just got off the Carnival Magic this morning.   The buffet was totally self serve.

I just got off of the Carnival Magic this morning and had the Social plan for the cruise.

It worked fine for what I wanted...

iMessage worked - I was surprised it worked but never had an issue sending texts, pictures and videos.

Twitter worked - Could read tweets and send messages and video's to friends

Outlook worked - Could read and respond to work emails

Normal web browsing worked, slow as I expected

Kik - Did not work at all

This is the misconception.

 

It's more about time.

Time + avg wager.

 

A player who plays 4 hours at .25 is worth more than a guy who comes in and drops $200 in 10 minutes

 

Couple hundred a day, played wisely while maximizing your time playing (actual playing time) will get your offers

Totally agree...  I usually close down the casino every night.  For my Saturday cruise I got a free Ocean Suite, $500.00 Fun Play and free drinks everywhere on the ship.

I used it on the Magic on Aug 7th sailing, once onboard went to the atrium bar and ordered my drink and told them I had the drink on us anywhere, and he looked it up on the register, and it showed it and no cost to me, so game on, drinks for the rest of the cruise anywhere.

Thanks for the info!  I have the Drinks anywhere on the ship and am sailing on the Magic this Saturday the 4th.   First stop atrium bar!!  🙂

Hi everyone,

I received this email several hours ago regarding the Magic sailing on September 4, 2021.  

I'll be on the ship with my fingers crossed and wearing a mask.
