No, the thermal suite access just provides access to the chaise loungers, sauna and steam facilities.

4 ceramic ? Heated chaise lounges. People are pretty good about minimizing their time so there isn’t any chair hogging. 2 steam rooms and i believe 1 dry sauna.

The room is an internal space so no view to be had

Only complaint would be the people that come in and hold conversations with their significant other. Impacts the serenity of a great space. Week long pass is a great deal, IMO.

I am booked on the Payouts on Tap cruise in August on Allure.  In the past, I have done the Easter Egg hunt, the BBQ beach bash and the SUper Bowl cruises.  No knowledge of the Payouts cruise (this is the 3rd year).  Has anyone done this event in the past?  Looking for feedback.

Another option...shower in the full size showers available in the gym/spa

Are those the 2 corner aft JS cabins on deck 8 I think?

The corner aft cabins on Deck 8 are both 2 BR Grand Suites

We have yet to cruise with our sons in the same stateroom as us..among our favorite  configurations is parents in a balcony and kids across the hall in a boardwalk balcony, the further aft the better to get a great ocean view and viewing events in the aqua theater

Are you expected to gamble the same amount you did to get the offer?

 

 

I cruise almost exclusively with Club Royale offers....these offers are a reward for past play/marketing tool for RCCL....no expectation of play on the next cruise

My B/F and I are in a 2 bedroom Grand Suite on Liberty, leaving this coming Sunday, and I paid approximately 50% of the going rate.

That has been my experience as well..approx 48% off the rack rate, not the website rate. If Rccl is offering a Boy one, get one 50% off deal, you’re both getting a 25% discount. So the casino rate is worth about an extra 25% off.

I left something on board a ship following a cruise. I knew exactly where it was in the stateroom. I contacted them through list and found and they retrieved it. I had to give them credit card info to pay for mailing it back to me. Almost immediately, the card was used for fraudulent purposes in the South Florida area.

Another factor to consider...pre-purchasing with a 30% off internet special usually comes with no tax. Purchasing on board, with a Diamond + 30% discount while still in port or inside 12 nm, u are open to being charged tax ~$3.50 a day.

See my answers in red.

Craps tables are single odds up to $25 on the pass/come line.

$25 pass/come gets you double odds

$50 pass/come gets you vegas odds (3x-4x-5x)

Agree...and I believe since they are all "minors" (under 18 per RCI policy) they will get to accompany you to any place your suite level allows you to go....even the CL.

My experience, in this exact situation has been, if the two reservations were linked, they will allow them to dine in coastal kitchen for only 2 nights (of a 7 night cruise).

Ur post made me smile. I use an identical method to assess the value of my cruise vacations. 2017: 58 cruise nights for $9900. 2018: 58 cruise nights $6300. All in suites except for the balcony i put my sons in once per year.

I try to use $100 pp/pn as a planning tool. Still think it’s the best value for my vacation dollar

Did u get the mailer earlier this week?

Just off Oasis this past week and ate at Chops on night 1. Had a completely enjoyable meal in a super environment.

Polled the other members of my house and all would ratecChops well above Longhorn, which i have always thought was overpriced.

Yes. Yes. Because it's too hard to be civil and just ask them to. You simply MUST add your own insults.:rolleyes:

Upon leaving the elevator on deck 5, they immediately restored the music back to its asinine level in a public space, “Look at me. Look at me” I’ll send them to your room next time

Last week on Oasis, I departed my room on the 17th floor and encountered two gentleman walking along with their Bluetooth speaker blaring. They joined me on the elevator and I politely said, I hope your need for attention wont prevent you from at least turning that off while we are all in this elevator. They complied.

5 day Independence of the Seas this past March $121.07 pp/on. Casino rate.

With total authority!!

I do believe the First night Done right prop available to all cruisers is essentially a BOGO.

I have been in a running battle over my overall credits and tier assignment. My total points earned was 24,807. When they subtracted points earned on my 2 MLife cruises i had just over 13,000 points which is what they originally told me, which is why i challenged them.

On your situation, how many cruises have u taken? Fairly easy to get to prime with 3 or 4 sub-1000 cruises.

Simply not true. Sorry.

I respectfully beg to beg to differ as i discussed this exact scenario with casino operations on the phone yesterday in an effort to resolve my Club Royale status. Although, you may earn points for reward as in a certificate, they will not count those points towards establishing your Tier status (choice, prime, signature).

You use your sea pass card in the casino. Insert into the slot machine before playing or your sea pass card will be swiped at the table by the dealer. If you are a Mlife member, your points on the ship are not transferrable. Which means, if you have not been on a cruise within the last year or so to accumulate any points, you start with 0 points on the ship. Let the casino host know you are a Mlife member and they will tell you how many points you need to accumulate on the ship to qualify for the VIP sticker which gives you free drinks while playing and a waiver for the 5% convenience fee if you request money on your sea pass account from the casino. Ask the casino host for the chart showing the Club Royale (CR) tiers and the benefits for each level -- Choice (1 - 2499 points), Prime (2500 - 24,999 points), Signature (25,000 - 99,999 points), Masters (over 100,000 points). Points are accumulated on RC cruises throughout the year (Apr 1 - Mar 31) to determine your tier for the next year. So if you cruise and gamble a lot, you can rack up the points. I am not sure if CR points are recognized for perks thru Mlife. I have heard that you can earn comp'd cruises on RC as a Mlife member and the points earned thru Mlife. Have fun on your cruise and good luck in the casino.

You are correct, you cannot earn MLife tier points from your play on RC. Also, if you are on an MLife comps/reward cruise, although you may earn points, they will not be used in tallying your Club Royale status.

If I took a tally of all the different responses I've received from many phone calls and hosts on the ships, the July 1, 2016-December 31, 2017 would win.

That is what i was originally told. Received another conflicting email today that said 12 month lookback 4/1/17 to 3/31/18.
