there's no such thing as annual cruise. it's all based on play. i've been sapphire since pre-covid and never gotten an annual cruise. before the Royal take over in late 2023, i just called bcc ands asked for a cruise i wanted. I normally get a balcony but sometimes Aqua or aft balcony. Now i just book via the postcards. Let us know if you have any luck in using your annual cruise benefit

I've looked at all the deuces wild games (ult x, stp, non-gimmick versions) and all are lousy 10/8 versions. Note: My ship (silhouette) only has All Star II machines

Come on Blue Chip. You can at least be competitive with NCL and come close with something like 98.5% return!

Yup. But losing less $ enables me to play more, thus more pts. Thus the question is my OP

Based on your post, I tried to get a new castle draft. Nope. Their menu is old. New castle draft is now $11, making Heineken the only draft beer in the classic package range :mad:

With the extension of the Blue Chip casino year to July 2024, i might be able to go up to the next casino tier and get more freeplay for every cruise. Which specific slot/vp to play that gets me alot of points while losing the least amount of $ (on avg)? Thx

doh.. fat finger! altho +$1 more for moist beer would be a great revenue generating hook for Celebrity 😛

I'm currently on the silhouette. How tacky. Nickle and diming line NCL.

What's the difference in menus?

On the other hand, I just boarded the silhouette and lgc is $60! Even if that includes 20%tip, that's $50. Wonder why the newest ship is cheaper? or is $45 for ascent online pricing and on ship it's$50?

For my upcoming Ascent cruise, Lawn Club Grill is still listed at $45. I would still eat there for $25 (45% off)

Wow and you didn't even ask for a discount? Do you have any idea why he did that?

I'm E+. We get 20% off specialty restaurants automatically? Lawn club grill is still $45? How much was your bill per person?

yes, i got the 50% off from the waiters roaming the public areas. And now that you mention it, i havent seen those roamers since Covid. Just the restaurant reservations desk in front of the buffet.

pre-COVID I was able to get 50% off le Petit chef (versions 1 &2 on different ships) and lawn club grill (on Edge) while on the ship. Does 50% off still exist post COVID?

In on the Encore and tried the go karts. The score board gives you your fastest time and the time on the last lap. Suggestion: Instead of the of time of last lap (which no one in my race cared about), how about avg time per lap?

Learned something new about the unlimited internet upgrade. I'm currently on 10day Encore cruise and didn't activate my 150 free minutes till day 5. (I was using the casino 400 free minutes.) Wanted to upgrade to unlimited internet but I didn't get the unlimited pop-up. The Internet mgr said It's only for the 1st three days of the cruise then the internet mgr is supposed to turn off the upgrade pop-up. That's the procedure but many internet mgrs don't do it. The reason is so not to overload the bandwidth with so many unlimited users. Anyway he manually upgraded me for this 10 day cruise and got charged $110 (as expected) for upgrading on day 5. 7days x $30 - $100 is $110. And Encore has Starlink! It's advertised at the internet mgr desk. Tried to make it the entire 10days on 550min but couldn't

Just checked the price of the Beryl AX. $80 on sale?? yike! just looking for a cheap repeater for multiple logins

I'm currently on Encore and they replaced kinky boots with Wheel of Fortune. And I was told you have to pay to be a contestant. (When I was on Prima in 2022, Price is right was free to be a contestant.) Wonder what will replace Six on both Breakaway and Bliss? Edit: And on some Jewel class ships, they went from 3 production shows to 2. What's going to replace it? And what are the production cast assigned to do on their new off day? Or will they just be paid 1/3 less?

So you need to connect a power bank to power the beryl? Any repeaters that have a built in battery?

What's missing in the free menu that was on the paid menu?

What time did you line up and what time did you get off the ship? What time did you arrive at FLL?

catch a taxi instead of uber? Never thought of that. is it a flat fare to FLL? I don't have tsa precheck but i dont imagine much of a line at security at 8am. Yes, plan B

Celebrity Silhouette

solo, 1 carry on and 1 backpack FLL To New Orleans: 10:16am flgiht from Jetblue out of FLL. ($154) Next one out is 5pm on Southwest from Miami ($156). Then 6:42pm on American Airlines (Miami) $94 Think I can make the 10am if i'm one of the first off the ship then uber to the airport?
