I am going on the Odyssey of the Seas in January and noticed they have a live poker table. Does anyone know if they play cash games only or do they have sit-n-go's as well?
The longer cruises tend to have a different clientele from what I've noticed. There are so many people who cannot afford the longer cruises or even take that much time off of work. Enjoy your trip!
We live in Southern Maryland and did this a few years ago. A blizzard was coming so we made the decision that Thursday to drive (supposed to fly on Saturday for a Sunday cruise). We rented a car and headed to Miami (cost was $50 and no one-way fee!).
OP - if you decide to drive and get a one-way rental, check each specific car rental's site...sometimes they won't charge you the one-way fee.
We have a VIFP member number, but that still doesn't mean it's a casino rate. I resent the shareholder OBC request, no answer yet. I'll post again once I hear back from Carnival.
You could be right but my assumption was that it wasn't a casino based on the fact that it didn't say that anywhere in this description. Oh well, I'm just excited to finally cruise! 🙂
It was an interior cabin for 2. Rate was $159 and $121.86 in taxes for each person. It's technically free with the $500 OBC but the offer wasn't casino related. The denial I got stated it was because I got a casino rate.
I submitted a request for shareholder OBC on 8/23 and just received the response:
I booked the Plan Now, Sail Later rate which included OBC. When I do a mock booking for the same cruise, all of the rates include some sort of promotion or discount (room upgrade, OBC, reduced deposit). Does anyone know which rates would qualify so I know for future reference?
