How does using the freeplay work? I will be on Odyssey greek isle in May with $700 freeplay but I have no idea how it works - how does it appear in a machine? Can you cash out before it’s used? Etc

Aww, you’re bursting my bubble and taking all the fun out of it!

The food on Celebrity is so much better quality, taste, presentation and variety than Royal.

I think the best way to rack up points is to play games that pay back enough to keep you playing without making frequent deposits in the machine. If it’s cold, move along… if it keeps you sitting there for hours - invest the time. Higher the bets - the more points, but also higher risk that your bankroll can vanish too soon. If you’re on a hot machine that is giving you back money to play with on higher bets, the more points per spin and the less time it will take to reach your goal. But if machine is keeping you playing -and gives you wins on lower bets - tap the button more times to gain the points. Good luck!

Check your Cruise planer for onboard activities “stay awhile” in case you want fo delay disembarkation and hang out at the pool (if you are on Symphony of the Seas)

We were on Oasis in Jan 2023, and the Labadee excursuions were not published until Oct-Nov. I would recommend to wait until Black Friday sale.

It’s not reflected in the Symphony deck plan

It would have made it a whole different experience for me, for sure 😊

Wasn’t on Oasis in January, but was much needed. Many slot machines were out of service, and the casino was bursting at the seams with so many smokers, it was really nasty smelling with no reprieve. The casino bar had 30 min wait time for a drink, packed with non-gambling chain smokers.

I’m was on Symphony last March, and again April 30th from Barcelona. Here are the shows, from the app. I was on Oasis in January… much prefer Symphony.

Sounds like you’re very lucky 🍀 Congratulations!!

In response to Def9715 - quote feature not working… I think it is that you can use your award for either a free interior on select cruises, or you can use it for a $250 discount towards any cruise you book before the award expires. Booking at “next cruise” is important when you get an offer that includes OBC IF you book/ create a booking at next cruise.

I don’t think you will find it below $100 anymore. I bought it for our party of six (ages 20-76) with Black Friday discount, still around $160 pp, and it was so worth it to me. Our Oasis cruise in Jan was very crowded, a lot of children and a ton of preteens unsupervised and raising havoc, pressing all the elevator buttons and running away, etc. The solarium hotubs were often jammed to capacity, so it was a great reprieve to spend the day at the Beach Club, where it wasn’t overly crowded and we enjoyed all the nice luxuries that others have mentioned. We had no issues with lines or drink service, and the food was amazing - especially the fillet mignon. I love the infinity edge pool, the water is so soft and relaxing. It really depends on what you enjoy.

So sweet ❤️

Is there only one port, and is it the same port as RCL uses? I will be on Symphony of the Seas out of Barcelona, first time at this port for embarkation. Thanks.
