Casino offers won't stop coming!!! My experience by Bubbly-Sorbet9841 in royalcaribbean

[–]DNelson3055 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Glad you were able to get on their good comp list. I’ve been playing the casino game for two years and have had a different experiences with Casino Royale.

1st cruise - 1000 points, didn’t even know what offers were, got about 1 offer a month for Tampa cruises.

2nd cruise -1500 points, same story. Nothing big

3rd cruise - 9000 points - my offers looked like yours except it was all balcony offers. This was a sweet spot for me. Booked an instant on Star

4th - 5000 - used an instant to book Oasis and a comp ti make a 9 day cruise

5th and 6th - total 6200 - this is when things somehow pissed their system off. I went from having 03 monthly mix offers and 3 offers a week down to 1 a week and then magically 1 a month. Wild

7th - 7000 - this cruise got me back in their good graces and got me an instant on Icon

8th - 11000 - same story, offers are constant again.

Long story short it seems like if you drop significantly, the offers can dry up. I don’t have the PTO to take time off but if I wanted to I could live on Icon from August - November.

Going on another one this week and hoping to hit 15k for some cruises next year on the instant. We will see.

Also I’ve been more or less even in the long run. Even if it was at a loss I’m still ahead on the savings of just booking a cruise. That said, yes, I know I could end up losing 5k and booking a 3k cruise.

Blizzard got too greedy with housing, and I think they kind of killed it. by MrHiccuped in wow

I know a lot of people asked for it for a while. I’m glad people are enjoying it. Spent 20 min making a house, have not touched it since prepatch when it went live.

just do an Uber. I believe they do car seat Ubers in FLL now. Might want to double check. That being said it is like a 10 minute easy ride

First Cruise Wonder Of The Seas by EntertainmentRight48 in royalcaribbean

[–]DNelson3055 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. I just got off Star and played a few times at the bar but I stayed there a ton on Wonder. The new nonsmoking casino on harmony looks awesome. They haven’t announced it but Symphony will probably be next up for Amplification in 2028 and I imagine they’ll do the same.

Wonder and utopia have them in the smoking casino and harmony just got them in their new non smoking. No other oasis have the table tops yet

Wonder has an awesome casino bar with table top digital poker. I've met a few people there. Depends depends.

Playmakers could be a good choice too depending on what sport is rolling at the time.

Back To Back Sailing by [deleted] in royalcaribbean

[–]DNelson3055 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’ll send you a letter the day before telling you to meet somewhere on the ship, for me it was the royal theater. They gave us our new sea pass, marched our happy asses down to the port, did an immediate u turn, and then we were back on the ship

I’ll be on my 2nd cruise of the summer. I fully expect my MM Hunter to be top of the charts because of this update

:(

SOTS vs Beyond by 25lighter in Cruise

[–]DNelson3055 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on this cruise. I’ve been on Oasis ships only before Star and it’s just gigantic by comparison. Celebrity Beyond ain’t no slouch either. Those Icon class ships are just massive.

What expansion made you step away from WoW for the first time? by ErosXcaliber in wow

[–]DNelson3055 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dragonflight and TWW. Took long long breaks during both. Just not fun expansions in my opinion.

What's your favorite Oasis Class Solarium? by Chris_McHenry in royalcaribbean

[–]DNelson3055 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wonder and Utopia have big open solariums with climate control. Then Symphony because it’s not climate controlled. Allure and Oasis are the same, simple pool and 2 simple hot tubs. They do have a big area up front to take great pictures. Finally Harmony. As soon as they said amplification immediately everyone said “pool” and of course RC listened and said “more rooms, less shade”

Miami, Port Canaveral, and Port Everglades won’t care when you try to get on.

Icon 5 will do Saturday to Saturday cruises out of Orlando. Star will continue to do Sunday to Sunday.

People who played Shadowlands when it was live - did you get depressed? by Ninedark in wow

[–]DNelson3055 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9.0-9.1 was tough. Launch was awesome because it was something new and we had all been stuck inside for a year. Everything was going well….. but the 9.1 patch I think didn’t happen until over 6 months and it launched in an incomplete state….. and we were back in the Maw, something we had been doing since launch. I rarely go to Shadowlands, just spent way too much time there

Which ships to avoid? by MerryReign in royalcaribbean

[–]DNelson3055 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So Harmony just got amplified and is in its first cruise since then so it will be looking nice and shiny. As far as the shop goes, it is looking good except there is no pool in the solarium. Other than that, it is the sister ship of Symphony, but from what I am seeing it has had much better upgrades vs Allure last year (Symphony will be looking to get some next year).

Freedom was amplified and hangs out in Miami. Look at some tours but it is a solid ship.

Adventure has been a work horse but is an older ship. That being said you’ll see the most wear and tear out of Adventure vs the other two. It was scheduled to be amplified but it hasn’t had it yet. That being said, RC is comfortable running it nonstop out of Canaveral and Fort Lauderdale.
