I hear ya...lots of ifs and PFM in order to identify the thief. Let me tell you a story... a few years ago I was on one of the smaller Royal ships Majesty...they have that quarter machine with the bills in it. Two early mornings in a row with the casino closed I caught this guy and his friend with a flat flexible metal bar sticking it up underneath the glass and raking the bills out of the machine. Low tech but obviously effective. Now if those super cameras you describe were doing their job these two clowns would have been escorted off the ship but evidently either Royal did not care, or those cameras are not focused everywhere in the casino.

I understand how it works...I spend a lot of time in casino. The OP information is on the ticket if she used her sea pass card while playing in the machine. The person (if it is the thief) who puts that stolen ticket in the machine for cash out purposes is not going to use their sea pass card unless they are an idiot... the thief would simply put the ticket in a machine and then immediately press cash out to generate a new ticket to take to the cage or go play elsewhere. So you will be left with no incriminating evidence as you are describing.

Please explain how the voucher will say who cashed it? The only way will be to track down what machine it was entered in and then view the cameras. Even then, if the person is tracked down with facial identification they could say it was given to them or they found it in the trash or some other odd story. The only chance is if they find footage of a person pulling the ticket out of the bag and then putting it in their pocket and same person subsequently putting it in the machine. Probably little chance of that. More than likely it was a professional thief who took the bag and then went in to the restroom, rooted through it, kept the voucher and then left the bag for someone else to find and then that person turned it in.

I never said you were lying...my comment meant you need better presentation skills. If you intend to get your voucher back you need to be thorough and specific. Your story changed dramatically with regards to content in your bag. If I was investigating and you first told me you had an empty bag with a hairbrush then you later you proceeded to say it contained credit card, phone charger, hair brush and whatever else I would be less likely to drop what I was doing to help you out. It has been my experience the casino management tend to not believe anything the gamblers report and or complain about. I was on the Oasis of the Seas and my wife had Tory Birch flip flops...she walked away for a few seconds, came back and they were gone. She asked for security to see the footage, they reluctantly did and it showed a woman walk up, slip them on and quickly walk off...end result...they did nothing about it. Good luck...

The OP still has not mentioned the amount of the voucher...which leads me to be it is a minor amount and not worth the investigative trouble. As an aside, I am also a little confused as to how a hairbrush is of more value than the credit card and cell phone... Sorry OP but the presentation of your story is a little suspect...especially when it involves an accusation of theft.

I don't need the drink package...I get 5 free drinks a day in the loyalty program, and I get free internet...unlike the NCL program which is basically non- existent...outdoor dining lol... ridiculous...wind...heat... nobody eats outdoors...well...maybe except for you.

Lots of NCL loyalist hanging out on the Royal forum. Probably because no one hangs out on the NCL forum. This whole idea of NCL freestyle is a joke. Nothing free about it. Drinks included... lol yeah right. You pay upfront gratuity for drinks you probably will never drink. As for dining, you have a small window to "try" and get a reservation each night. The "no further charge" restaurants have the same menu every night, literally forcing you to book specialty dining. Not sure if anyone remembers the no more taking food from the buffet back to your room attempt, they unsuccessfully tried. Always trying some major cost saving measure to see if they can make it stick... that is NCL.

Always great to see a "hey everyone look how much I tip compared to you thread". Anyway...I only drink beer and I always give a dollar...but you know what...occasionally I do not have or I ran out of dollar bills...that being said...If I don't have cash or a machine voucher...I say I will get you next time and they are always good with it. I literally have chased bar staff down after I am able to break a bill and some are usually shocked when I roll up and simply say... here...this is for the time I missed you.

So in my case all 3 family members are D+. On a 7 night cruise, skip the first night then each person uses their 2 days of complimentary internet one right after the other to cover the next 6 days...granted it has to be on different devices but the access is still there if there is a need communicate back home. Pretty nice perk.

She said "nice" restaurant...not a beach bar... I too vote for Gladys in St. Thomas...

Casino host once onboard will be able to confirm.

What is the name of the popular one which is orange in color has a cherry on top and is named ????? kiss? My wife loved those on the recent Horizon sailing.

I was on it a couple weeks ago for an 8 nighter and I never felt any AC issues...nor did any of my party of 6.

Sorry, your last sentence could not be more wrong. The crew is infected with Covid. The port visits are infected with Covid. Your fellow passengers are not the only source.

Do you honestly think you will walk on any ship and there will be no active cases of covid? The crew has covid, guests with false or un-timely tests board with covid, excursions/shopping workers in the ports have covid. It exists...everywhere. This whole idea of keeping everyone safe by doing a 2 day- pre-cruise test is delusional thinking. The 2-day pre-cruise testing is a joke, and it accomplishes nothing. A more sensible approach will be vaccinated/boosted passengers will no longer take a test...and I have a strong belief it is coming very soon to a cruise line near you.

I look for the end of September as this will mark the end of the current set of rules in place.

I think the next phase will be no testing required if you are vaccinated or no testing required if you are vaccinated and boosted.

The fact is, unlike years ago, the ships are the destination. Most of the island's located in the Caribbean economy is based upon cruise tourism. So... I am pretty sure the useless testing requirements of certain islands will quickly go away once the ships decide not to go there.

Because it is not working...people are still getting onboard with Covid because the tests are not fool proof. There is a small window within the infection period where the tests work. At this point the testing is a waste of time and is basically taking place because it makes a few people mistakenly feel safe. Any travel can result in illness and to lessen your chances, people need to practice good hygiene. Clearly with the major increase with shootings, crime and disrespect taking place today it has proven keeping people confined to their homes has caused more harm than good.

I believe there were four in port that morning. Terminal D is where Horizon docks...midport. I would not worry about how many ships are in port. With facial screening the debarkation process is a breeze. 10:30 AM flight should not be a problem.

We made it in early last week. Passengers started debarkation around 6:30AM

I have found the beds to be far superior when staying in a suite. Often those inside cabins tend to have a worn, bowed out mattress.

Dandick...A hundred in the Facebook private group have come forward. Anyway, I am done with you. Welcome to ignore...I have been on this board dating back to when it was an AOL chatroom and I have only 4 people on ignore. Congrats Well stated. This was my exact experience on Horizon as well.

I will not reveal names of people...there are laws against that...but since it seems to be overly important to you, go to the June 25 Horizon Facebook page, ask to join the group and you will see at least 100 passengers admitting they are sick with verified Covid (home test or Dr visit). You and a couple others should be ashamed of yourself for downplaying this event. There is a problem onboard right now and people who may soon board the ship need to know about it.

It is a fact an "extraordinary" amount of folks came down with covid on the Horizon. Does that make you feel better? I was told the ship left late on Sunday due to cleaning and a Coast Guard inspection...maybe someone currently onboard can verify. Added: As for your other comment about National News lol...nobody reports they have it to avoid quarantine. As a matter of fact, one cruiser said her husband DID go down to be tested as was told in medical "do you really want a test, because you will be quarantined if positive"
