susierailroad Posted May 13, 2016 #27 Share Posted May 13, 2016 hvbasky: I'm thrilled to read your blog. Great live play by play! One question I would really like an answer to: will the Casino on Constellation allow you to get cash for playing the tables and charge it to your account so you can use your OBC? I know there is a 5% charge to do so and I have done it numerous times on other ships (and Connie as well in the past); however, I keep hearing the Casino on Connie no longer allows it! I can't image it being true, but I'd love to hear it from someone who is on that ship right now. We will be on it in a few weeks. If we are unable to use OBC in the Casino, I will be most disappointed. Would appreciate your letting me know. Thanks so much and have a truly glorious time!!!

I hope someone from the ship reads this, as we don't use the Casino, so are unaware of how OBC and the Casino works. However! if no one from our ship reads this/answers, I will try and inquire to find out. Heather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise To Relax Posted May 13, 2016 #29 Share Posted May 13, 2016 (edited) If I read your blog correctly, you were upgraded to 6146. If so, enjoy! We just got off Connie in PH 6147 on Monday. I guess you were the next occupants of that great room. Staff was superb. Suite restaurant, IMHO, was outstanding. Sorry 6147.

Staff are superb and we are having an amazing, awesome, indescribable experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hvbaskey Posted May 19, 2016 Author #31 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Finally getting around to finishing the blog. The cruise was very port intensive and I am a wee bit behind! Two more days to review and a few restaurants to review as well. Should be done within the next couple of nights! Cruise in a nutshell was fantastic, hope to remember everything :) Heather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hvbaskey Posted July 22, 2016 Author #35 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Heather, does Connie have the new, faster internet? If not, do you when it is planned? We are on Connie 7 August Thanks Gill Hi Gill! Indeed she did! we found the internet VERY responsive and zippy zip zip! Have an awesome trip :) We are back on the Connie this October (last minute deal that we couldn’t pass up). We loved the Connie. Heather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hvbaskey Posted September 24, 2016 Author #36 Share Posted September 24, 2016 4 months later (better late than never), I have uploaded this video to the travel pod blog; but posting here, should anyone wish to view it. We used Lovely Amalfi Coast Tours for a Gastronomic Tour of Campania from Naples. Brilliant tour! Loads of food, wine, and limoncello :eek: (click on link) Heather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
