I was playing mostly craps which was always $15. I played BJ one day and it was also $15. I didn't pay close attention to any of the other tables.

Not happy to hear it was that on the Craps table.  That's mostly what I like to play but sure won't be playing much if at all with $15 min.

For us back in March it was the Alchemy bar with bar tender Alexander or Alex for short.  Can't remember all the different drinks we tried but they were all great.  For us, it was more about the service Alex provided each and every night there.  Even for our 18 year old daughter who couldn't drink alcohol but he would make her a non-alcoholic drink that looked like the alcoholic drinks every time we came and never charged us for her drinks.

We had a 25% FCC (Future Cruise Credit) from our canceled Jubilee Transatlantic.  We were able to use that towards another cruise we booked recently.  I don't think it matters what the rate is.  We used our PVP with Carnival to get that applied.

We use the app ShipMate to track all of our cruises and they go back that far.  You might check that app out.  It has the full Itineraries for all the cruises.

Do you get a discount when buying the gift cards through AARP?

Sounds like both CVS and Walgreens are getting out of the Covid testing business.

At least the later appointments which is what we were trying to get so didn't have to miss any work.  Three of us are now tested and the last one should be done soon.  So what I've learned from this is not only have a backup plan, but also have a backup plan to the backup plan.  🙂

CVS just texted us that our appointments were canceled.  We got a full day though instead of an hour notice which I still don't like but would have definitely been furious if only got the hour like you did.  Luckily we were able to get some Walgreens appointments booked for three of us.  Still got to figure out the fourth person though as they'll be coming back from college and no appointments available where they are.

Well, Walgreens canceled on us as well.  Trying to book other appointments now and hope they don't get canceled.  This is so frustrating!!

Always have a back up plan! CVS just cancelled, for the second time, our tests. Only an hour before appointment time! On our way out the door.
We do have tests scheduled at Walgreen’s, too. Fingers crossed.

I'm sailing on the Mardi Gras in a week and a half (March 26th).  Haven't gotten anything about Verifly to this point. When do you get notice that your sailing will use Verifly? 

I’m on that same cruise (Mardi Gras March 26). Downloaded the app a month or more ago but it wouldn’t recognize our booking information then tried it again last weekend after I checked in and was able to load everything into the app except the Covid test results which we do next week. So you should be able to start putting your stuff in the Verifly app now.

Wow!  Those prices are outrageous.  We booked the Chill Island Cabanas for an October Cruise for just $299.00 each.  We have a group of 12 so had to book 2 of them.  I feel like we got a steal compared to the other prices posted.

Would be interested to know if once on board can you book the other shows they have besides Pixels or will all those just be First Come First Served?  Also, as already mentioned what days are Formals.

Thanks Megsie.  My friends took the chance with a guarantee cabin after all.  I hope they get something like yours.  🙂  That doesn't look bad at all.

Thanks for your replies. I feel the same as the last couple of posters which is why we picked our own cabin but the difference in price now for our friends is about $1000 from Pick your own definite none obstructed balcony to letting Royal Pick your balcony and hope it’s not obstructed.

I’ve never done a Guarantee Cabin before as I like to choose my location but some friends going on a cruise with us are wanting to save some money so are leaning towards letting Royal pick their cabin. This will be on the Ovation of the Seas going to Alaska. The Question:  What’s the likelihood that the Balcony Royal picks is an obstructed view balcony?  I’m guessing pretty likely which I don’t think they’d want going to Alaska. Thanks for any help.

When the ability to make reservations shows up for iFly or North Star are they in the Activities, Entertainment or Shore Excursions section?

I would assume Activities but when scheduling an Activity on Allure earlier this year it was in Shore Excursions even though it was on the ship during a Sea Day.

I have gotten a couple of those emails but they don't annoy me as much as Carnival where I get a call either the day of or the next day after I log on to their website to see if I have any "Special Offers".

This is a thread I found that had the Eastern Compass. They are from a May 2017 sailing.

I believe Southwest has a late limit of 6pm.

Thank you for the info!

Very interested in using this service. Are there any restrictions to use the program if your flight is later that day? We fly home around 5:30pm when we get back to Fort Lauderdale.

Thanks for all the information. We will be sailing on the Conquest this coming Sunday, 10/23/16, as well. Can't wait!!!!

Thanks Pellaz! Glad to hear it worked, especially the FB Messenger voice call. Hope to call home at least once with that.

Just opened the App and Conquest is now listed with the "Supported Ships" list!!

Anyone back from the Conquest recently? Is the Hub App active now? Heard it was supposed to go live October 9th and curious if it did. Thanks.

That's good to know about FanDuel not working. I actually use DraftKings but now I know not to plan on getting into any tournaments while on my cruise in October.

Thanks Davey Wavey, so since they said it would be $75 in Casino Cash it would be cash then.
