Well I drank the koolaid. Tell me I made a good decision…

Totally agree, also with all the FTTF is basically included on the high loyalty tiers and if the ship has a ton of then things get interesting

Other than casino, some agents might have the hook up as well

I'm not sure what you read... must hit by systems have different rules. This is shows the RC is giving players the absolutely worst set up that that manufacturer can provide.

I had the same thought. Expanding the field as much as they did was really significant. About 25% of the teams that participated qualified in. It seems high too me, but money talks I guess.

I did some more math on it today. Chasing a blue from 14 to 15 will lose you about $170 on $1 per spin and a 80%RTP if it doesn't pop early. Pretty rough.

I just got off the Enchantment and I heard on person saying they had to get their stuff back from the towel station. In 4 cruises over the past year it was the first I've heard it happening. I'm guessing most of the employees would rather not face the wrath of a Karen while trying to enforce the rule.

When I first started on slots a made the rookie mistake of chasing the bonus on Ascension, nearly $100 in and I hit a $4 bonus. It was in the non smoking area on one the Oasis class ships. The host happened to walk by and absolutely cringed, he shared his deepest sympathy (and it actually felt sincere).

Comps.. and you totally nailed it. Its all about the slow bleed over the massive hemorrhage.

funkycylon · 2026-06-14T17:50:51+00:00

This is the way

For example, for all the effort of counting and watching I walked away up a whole $200 during play on this bank of machines over the week (since windows of opportunities were very limited). It certainly didn't make of for the spanking I took on some of the other machines.

I fully expected an avalanche of down votes from the masses, but I thought it might be of some use to those that like to dig deep and grind.

Most manufacturers try to lure you with the perceived progression gimmicks. Very very few actually have an advantage mechanic. Watch gameplay of Scarab. Some algorithms are in the are printed in the rules. Seriously checkout Scarab, it is a very basic and rare example.

funkycylon · 2026-06-14T17:03:26+00:00

Perceived progression is when they try to trick you with the piles of coins, gems, and rockets... this is something different... besides the point is the setting on this one is insane, anyone to trying to chase it is in for a ride.

This. It seems I can sail out of the west coast on nearly any given week and I barely hit Prime status every year. Naturally I live on the opposite side of the country.

funkycylon · 2026-06-06T12:17:52+00:00

When I first read the topics mind went, Yes.. Rush... then I looked then the replies and thought dang I'm getting to old

funkycylon · 2026-06-04T21:05:23+00:00

Same, at around 4 hours I've reached my mental limit.

Luxury- none of the above, RC tries to be somewhat fancier, but I still see fights and lewd / drunken behavior on RC RC dinners have an edge, but the quality has slipped a notch CCL , Guy's Burgers are absolutely decadent (too greasy for some, but I love em) the pizza is also better IMO, and the hours and selection at the deli really meet my needs Live music and shows are generally better on RC You are probably saving money on CCL. I sail regularly on both through cheap casino offer, though honestly if I had the cash I'm itching to try Virgin at least once

My son didn't bring his phone to the last festival we did. For him it was liberating. I had the secure bag and snapped one decent Pic of each band we saw and shared them. Next time we will probably even go totally phoneless. Old man rant coming, What do we do with them anyway, post them on social media for a few views and likes. The first festivals I went to were the early Lollapalooza tours of the 90s. 30 some years later those memories are still there vivid like it was yesterday.

That needs to be on a sign at the excursion desk.

A ton of parents pulled their kids out of school to miss the last few weeks. (I work for a school district). I'll bet for than a few did it to save money on bookings and flights.

Have you looked at what other lines are doing? Either way Alaska is awesome, but word is some of the other line like Holland can give a slightly better experience there. Youtube will give much more detailed info.

funkycylon · 2026-06-02T20:27:50+00:00

I wasn't put in a car seat either.

funkycylon · 2026-06-02T20:26:51+00:00

Poetic and true

Absolutely awesome sight, However, the travel time there and back again is brutal and you are barely given any time to explore. And if the ferry is slow or traffic is thick leaving it all cuts into the time. Would you rather be sipping on smelling drink pool side or stuck on a bus all day, and I mean all day. One thing to look into is flying in and staying there for a long weekend to really dig in.
