One quick observation, although the Gift Cards are non refundable, Holland can move money back to the gift cards, or issue new Gift Cards in the amount of any money left on your on board account. So technically it is not refundable, but can still be used with Holland America for another cruise.
That being said, what does your on board account show on your TV or Navigator Account? That will tell you if the Casino money is being removed from your Refundable OBC. Casino charges can not be made against Non Refundable (Stock, Military, First Responder) OBC but can be charged against refundable OBC.
Whoever gave you the information may be confusing the types of OBC you have, as Gift Card OBC falls under the refundable column.

Today is National Park Service Day, National Second-hand Wardrobe Day, and National Whiskey Sour Day
There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.--John Lennon

FYI, the opposite also applies. If you purchase a package and have several bottles in your cabin but decide you want one in a restaurant your cabin steward will make sure it gets there.
I found this out by accident, I was leaving my cabin with a bottle in the early afternoon and my cabin steward asked about it. When I told him I was taking it to the Pinnacle Grill he assured me he would take care of it, and did.

Good morning.
I haven’t been a fan of HAL for a while, at one time it was our favorite cruise line but I believe the company has lost its way.
Yesterday in another thread someone questioned why I continue to post on the Daily Report, maybe they thought I was a hypocrite so this will be my last post on the Daily, it was fun and I really enjoyed interacting with all of you.
Have a great day, stay well and safe.I will echo what others have said. Please continue to read and post to this thread.
I didn't see the post you are referencing, but it doesn't reflect the sentiments of most of the people who participate in the Daily.

Now I’ll need to apply my remaining gift card credits/balance with the front desk at some point on the cruise. Got it.
So if I’m understanding this correctly, my crew appreciation onboard will now pull first from OBC and then to gift card, then to credit card.
When you apply your gift cards at the front desk it will become part of your refundable obc.
All charges you make, not just you crew appreciation, will decrease first any non-refundable obc, followed by refundable obc, then you will begin to accrue a balance that will be charged to your credit card at the end of the cruise. If you don't use up all the refundable obc, you can get it back in cash or as a credit to the card on file.

Since we are talking about Roller Coasters today, I'll mention two. When we first moved to Atlanta the Southeastern Fair and Exposition was in its hey day. I think it happened in late September, as we were in school but not for long. The big attraction was the Greyhound, a long, high, wooden Roller Coaster. I was a great ride. It was also featured in all three 'Smokey and the Bandit' movies and was destroyed (on purpose) during the filming of 'Smokey and the Bandit II'. All three films used Lakewood Fairgrounds for a location and were filmed in the Atlanta area.
The second coaster is the Great American Scream Machine at Six Flags over GA. For a short while the year the coaster opened I worked at Six Flags. One morning before the park opened there was a call over the PA system for volunteers to test the ride. I was close enough to get there and was one of the riders. As we finished the loop we only slowed down in the station and went around twice more before we finally stopped and went back to our regular jobs.

The Fleet Report and Daily for Tuesday August 27th, 2024
in Holland America Line
Posted
A bit of a rant, if I may. This is not really directed at @superoma, just that she happened to make a comment today that is often repeated.
It is not easy to come up with 365 different meals (or a least something edible) to feature each day. Despite searching for seasonal meals, comments get made that a salad that might be featured during the winter is a better summer meal, or that a soup is a better winter meal. In addition, meals having a common ingredient (butternut squash, carrot dog) getting featured close to each other. When the list was first created (last November) it was provided to Debi so another set of eyes could view it and suggest changes. The same goes with the wine list and ports.
Anyone is welcome to take over creation of the meal list and create one for next year
