A independent provider? Interesting. Anyone know who so I can get in touch with them? If there were cameras they were particularly ell hidden.

We looked for cameras and couldn't see any. And if our two croupiers were being monitored, then whoever as doing it was particularly poor at their job. I haven't even mentioned the twice she put the marker on the wrong number and wiped away all chips including those on the winning number. And no pit boss ever made an appearance. Amateurs or scammers? I know what I think.

We've played roulette all over so didn't look for them. And I suspect many others wouldn't bother if they were there. Doesn't excuse scamming croupiers though does it?

Trust me......this was an obvious scam of tipsy or (so they thought) inexperienced players. No experienced croupier would make this mistake regularly. Other things happening at the table also dubious. Play if you want....but beware!

Just got back from a great fortnight on the Dream. My wife is a keen roulette player, and played a few times on the cruise. On four occasions, three with the same croupier and once with a different one she was paid short. And, would you believe it, it was the same scam each time. The croupier paid out 15 chips on a split when the correct amount is 17. Took a couple of times to realise...she let it go....wondering if the difference was because of paying in euros not pounds. But then realised it was deliberate. Too often to be a mistake.

So....beware if you play. You should get 17 for a split and 35 for on the nose.....plus your bet chip remains on the board and is not part of your payout (the croupier even tried to say it was part of the winnings when confronted about short changing).

Report going into Thomson......didn't report on ship as we believed it was a scam being perpetrated by the whole team.

I suspect I would consider throwing myself overboard if confronted by a Robbie Williams tribute act. Would seriously consider it if the real thing turned up!

Hello all

We're on the Cuban Fusion cruise leaving Jamaica on 1st March, travelling to Cozumel, Cuba and Gran Cayman.

My confusion is.....and I admit it's probably something I've done wrong....but I set up a Roll Call for the cruise ages ago,but, as yet, no-one has joined. Maybe it's not everyone's cup of tea, or maybe others know something about me!!

Anyone else on this cruise?

Geomagot........thanks.....greatly appreciated.

Thanks Pensioncruiser.

So I can take it that a Bacardi and Coke are free within the AI package as long as I don't ask for a can? Just want to be clear.

Hello all

It's probably me...but having read most (not all) of this thread.....can someone give me a definitive answer -

If I order a Bacardi and Coke or a Vodka and Sprite......do I have to pay the supplement for the soft drink? Not bothered about having a can with the spirit, but would want the splash from a "gun" rather than potentially flat from a large bottle or previously used can.

Thanks for your help.

Well said Wiltonian. Some people cannot see the chaos in their own backyard ....

"The murder rate in New York City has spiked an alarming 20% in the first two months of the year, prompting NYPD brass to rethink strategy to curb the deadly trend.

Since Jan. 1, 54 murders have been recorded in the city, up nine from the same period a year ago, according to the grim stats released Monday.

Shootings have also climbed 20% — with 149 so far in 2015 compared with 126 in the first two months of 2014."........this is a news report from March this year in NY. Should every tourist avoid it?

miched.....yes....I'm sure you're providing a valuable service there...well done. Now flick the switch, take a deep breath.....and tell us all the great things you love about Celebrity.

Host Andy

"With one more reason to sail with Celebrity, guests may benefit from the return of 123go! if they book by July 5, 2015, for select cruises departing on August 2015 through April 2016, and choose one of three benefits: onboard credit of up to $300 per stateroom, free "Classic Beverage Packages" for two, or free gratuities for two. For full details about 123go!, visit celebritycruises.com/123go."

The blurb you posted says that the new offer is available until the 5th July....but the email I got from Celebrity regarding the offer here in the UK says it is only available until the 30th June. I wonder why there's a difference?

Miched........you're a little ray of sunshine, aren't you?

Thanks gordylad......that link looks like a promo for travel agents. Interesting. But can't see the offer on the Celebrity site....maybe it will appear in next few days? Also wondering if this is a USA-only offer?

Do you have a link to the website showing this offer? I can't see it on the Celebrity website. Thanks.

Just got back from the Caribbean cruise that left on 1st March. We spoke to the Entertainments Director and she told us that Cellar Masters would remain as Celebrity had won many awards for it's wine selection and they did not want to change a winning aspect of the cruise.
