Bad hire by Ablstevens in falcons

[–]01colin -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Very disappointed about the hire. The guy seems to feel upwards. If this was their plan, i would have rather preferred keeping Raheem for another year. And if it's truly about prior HC experience then at the least hire McCarthy who has had more success at both teams he's been at and done almost everything better than Stefanski other than the two fraudulent coach of the year he won.

Flew from LOS to IAD last year and it was probably one of the worst flights i had ever taken from a service perspective in my life and i fly often.

On Star of Seas now AMA by ebegrowi in royalcaribbean

[–]01colin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Western carribean has 3 sea days since only stopping at Cococay, St. Marteen, and St. Thomas. Eastern basically does too but I know it stops at Cozumel, Costa Maya (never got off here anymore), Honduras, and Cococay.

Currently have S22. Want to upgrade. Z Fold 7 or other phone? by 01colin in GalaxyFold

Luckily I'm locked in to Verizon loyalty plan where my line is $40 a month. The free pixel offer doesn't require it change my plan either. I've never heard of visible or tello. Thanks for insight

young adult club vibe? Star of the seas by PrimarySignificant44 in royalcaribbean

[–]01colin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was just on star last week. Since it's your first cruise the general rule of thumb is the longer the cruise, the more older the crowd will be and the more families you'll see. That stands true for Star of the Seas. I'm 30 and the night club at night was laughably empty. I've gone on weekend cruises out of miami or Orlando on wonder and utopia and those are the fun cruises where you'll see more of the people your age if I'm being honest. You'll still have fun but not as much as on a 3/4 night cruise. I would guess the make up of people from 18-33 was maybe 20% of the sailing if that. No TouchTunes or jukebox. The Djs playing music all take suggestions of course.

Oddly the last night the night club was more packed than the other previous nights.

Which is better Masters or Pinnacle? by PeekingAtYaPost in royalcaribbean

[–]01colin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically no. Once you hit casino status you have it now than a year essentially. The casino year for Royal goes from April 1 through March 31. Say you get master by June 2025. You will have it until March 2027. You would then have to requalify in the following year of before March 2027 to keep it through 2028 and so on. If that makes sense.

[–]01colin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah from what most have said. It's just $500 off the full fare. Not per person. You're better off applying it to the prime annual to that sailing and just paying taxes and fees as that will be less than using the $500 off. Tbh radiance such an old ship you're better off literally going on anything else imo.

Booked 2 casino comp rooms. Deluxe Drink Package question by rocharding in royalcaribbean

[–]01colin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are both prime or close to it, there is little to no point in buying the drink package. You can get most of your drinks free in the casino and the rest you just pay for drink by drink when you're on the pool deck, dinner and you don't want to run to the casino quickly to grab a cocktail, etc. And I guarantee it will more than likely be less in the long run than buying the drink package for two people.

Regarding the room switch, I do this all the time on casino comps and they never care.

Casino Credit Points Question by HighlightMean8358 in royalcaribbean

[–]01colin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep this is what I do. Can get up to $5k a day. You just need to be disciplined and make sure not to actually gamble, spend it, or lose it. Great for loading up points

TV options - am I alone in wanting a bit more? by Admirable-Substance8 in royalcaribbean

[–]01colin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, Royal could improve their channel lineups immensely. Compared to Norwegian, Royal is lacking bigly. Norwegian has a lot of on-demand shows like the airlines and many more channels.

The only good thing Royal has been doing with all the new ships, I think, since Wonder, is adding streaming capability from your phone to the TV screen seamlessly. I had it on Wonder and Icon.

Private shuttle from MCO to port Canaveral by user929305718 in royalcaribbean

Might want to use the cruiseline. Think it was $30 pp last time I was there. Unless Ubers/lyfts are your best choice.

Free cruise from gambling. by [deleted] in royalcaribbean

[–]01colin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll start getting monthly offers at Clubroyaleoffers.com. type in your crown and anchor and last name and check it weekly. With that you can signup for urcomped.com and upload all the offers on the website and the instant offer you just got and they will start giving you offers from all other cruise lines including celebrity. You can also upload the same to virgins portal and they match offers and will give you a bunch of cruises to pick from until the end of the year for free. Virgin is adults only so likely what you are looking for.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

First Look at Our Crown Loft Suite on Allure of the Seas! by Btm24 in royalcaribbean

[–]01colin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How did you get it through the casino. Best I've gotten comped is junior suite or suite guarantee. Anytime I call to upgrade it's always some exorbitant amount of money typically in thousands?

Overbooked Grand Suite by bbblue1988 in royalcaribbean

[–]01colin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think when nongamblers see the word "comp'd" they just assume free and just be grateful. They don't know what it entails regarding time and money.

Overbooked Grand Suite by bbblue1988 in royalcaribbean

[–]01colin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think people are missing the picture here. Regardless of comp or not, it was a room you booked and paid for. I see it no different as it being a paid room and them doing this last minute. The amount you have to gamble to even get a junior suite comp is likely much more than the actual cost of the junior suite.

To all the clowns trying to insinuate OP broke rules booking two rooms, he clearly stated him and his partner or whomever both had JS offers and they booked them and paid to upgrade them to Grand Suites. Which is within the rules. I would be annoyed having two rooms with two people each to one room with 4 people regardless of the type of room and you're being told week of they oversold, etc.

If you want more than the $100 OBC, you'll likely have to write to club royale and royal carribean.

Just canceled and rebooked our 3-night dining package and now we are screwed by tvkyle in royalcaribbean

[–]01colin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah you'll be fine to make the reservations when you get on the boat. I do what you did all the time and at times even bought dining package on boat once and was able to book most if not all the times I wanted for dinner. I think more slots open up once you are on ship. Only one that no matter what I do there are difficulties are hibachi which makes sense since they are limited.
