I found a a slightly better dueces wild game buried in a three play/ ultimate X type game but very hidden.
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!- 1

You earn points based on how much $$ you put in play. It's not what you win or lose, it's what you risk.
Yup.
But losing less $ enables me to play more, thus more pts.
Thus the question is my OP

I would not consider any of those to be beer.
Based on the menu shown, Newcastle on tap is the clear winner.
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

There is no Lawn Club Grill on the Ascent. You are thinking of the Rooftop Garden Grill.
What's the difference in menus?

As an Elite+, you are entitled to 20% off specialty dining booked onboard. The Lawn Club was $50 per person and we were charged $25.00 per person, The waiter gave us the check and said he gave us a good deal. We were surprised.
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?

We booked Lawn Club grille when we were on Silhouette in November. We Are Elite+ and expected 20% off. When we got the check, they gave us 50% off.
I'm E+. We get 20% off specialty restaurants automatically?
Lawn club grill is still $45?
How much was your bill per person?

Haven't seen any deals in the past 2 years. Maybe thing of the past. They also are no longer roaming the halls harassing your to book specialty.
As before you can always ask. Worse the could say is NO.
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

Yes, either power bank or plugged into outlet. It’d be great if one had a built in battery.
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?

I just got the Beryl AX myself. I'm not going to bring a laptop with me, just my phone. Is it just as simple as?
1) Connect to router
2) Clone MAC address of my phone onto the router
3) Choose Repeater
4) Select the NCL wifi network
5) Fill in captive portal
Every time I go back to my cabin (where I'm just going to leave the router), I just repeat steps 4 and 5 if someone else in my family has used the internet and disconnected the router? Thanks
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?

Just off the Silhouette prior to Christmas. Self Assist line veeeery long. Folks queuing up just after 6 a.m. Facial Recognition system at Immigration very fast. Lots of taxis. Fare to FLL, with tip, $20. Road traffic at FLL was heavy and slow. Precheck TSA line non existent but regular lines, at 10.30 a.m., quite long but not unmanageable. 10 a.m. flight’s gonna be a real nail biter. FLL’s not the most convenient airport for a long wait. Good luck…
What time did you line up and what time did you get off the ship?
What time did you arrive at FLL?

I don't think you will have a problem if
- Ship starts disembarkation by 7:30
- You can carry all your luggage off
- You are at the front of the self disembarkation line (the length of which can vary from cruise to cruise)
- You catch a taxi (don't bother to call and wait for Uber/Lyft)
- You don't check luggage
- You have TSA Precheck
I still would have a Plan B just because in this day and age of plane travel it is probably wise to always have a Plan B!
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

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
