We are on the Jewel out of Boston. Wished we had the comped cruise out of Jersey. Boston hotels are ridiculous!!!! We leave Sunday! Hope we see some leaves!

Cheers to this 4th street BB girl! Some of the best memories! I’m also doing a casino comp cruise but leaving out of Boston. Can you share your plans for the NE trip? We have Peggys cove and Bay of Fundy down. Are you doing anything interesting?

GM, how much was the taxi to get there?

Just got off Indy a few weeks ago. Clean ship, great staff and food was fabulous! Everyone in our party enjoyed the food (which isn’t happening much on other ships)

I make these all the time. Use soft butter, not melted and then they will easily roll. When dipping chocolate, i use choc and crisco. that leaves a sheen… Enjoy!

I booked a place in Tampa this past January and loved it. Can’t figure out where I parked. Any recommendations for parking?

Thank you for asking!! I was wondering the same! I’m always in an interior suite:)

As soon as you see it, you need to book it. I’ve sailed Beyond, Ascent and now Apex all Bcc comped. Only going because of my daughter, or I would have sailed on the older ships! We prefer them over the edge series! Either way, enjoy!

Thank you. Good reading!

That will get you a complimentary interior if you keep playing! Make sure you check your points and cash them out! Great win!

Thank you for all the responses. I got the MSC certificate from Ballys casino in Dover de. I know everyone assumes I have this huge bank roll because I’m getting free cruises. While others can attest, I bring less than $200 each time I gamble. I frequent Ballys once every 3 months as I live in Florida and my kids live in Delaware. I received a post card and just had to “swipe” my card on a specific day. It further said that I would receive a letter in the mail. We did receive an interior room. I 100% agree with what someone else said. Why go when you’re happy with Royal. I don’t want too for those reasons! My husband contends that we don’t have to pay the port fees so why don’t we? My response is I would rather spend the port fees and get points towards diamond status. I’m trying to be an understanding spouse and comply with his request. I don’t think I have done a status match before as I don’t remember going to the casino. My husband and daughter (who thinks she is going) all want to go simply for the thermal spa. That is one that they have spoken about many times over our 30 cruises. I did apply for a status match. I will advise once I receive some information.

I have a free cruise offer from MSC. NO port fees and no taxes. I’m not too excited to book it as I’m prime/diamond on Royal. Anyone have experience with this and shed some light on whether it’s worth it to pick up? I have sailed MSC. My “problem” is I like all my perks at my other cruise line. Thank you!

Check your cruise planner. Just looking at buying it for $18.99 for this up coming weekend. Is it even open?

It was NOT available at the martini bar when I sailed 2 weeks ago.

YES! The free bag of laundry! How can i forget!

5-7 pm at any bar except MDR and martini bar. They also have an elite cocktail hour from 5-7, last time it was in the reflection lounge.

Hi. I have not done this excursion thru NCL, but i have done the virgin gorda baths. I’m about 260 lbs. I took the ferry over then we started the “decent.” I think the size is for two reasons. One, it’s like 1.8 miles long with windy steep downhill walk. Secondly you have to go thru caves. I was worried I was too fat and as i was alone, I just went back the way I went down. I thought i was going to die!!! GO with caution. The view is spectacular with a restaurant and swimming pool. I swear i will tackle the “mountain” when I’m lighter! Lol

I just became Diamond. I’m prime on Royal, so I go to the casino for my drinks. Sailing Celebrity in 2 weeks. I know they will move me to Elite, but how do you get your 4 drink vouchers ( or don’t you?)

See you on board in our comp trip too!

Although I think it should be free, $29 pp seems fair! Great buy!

I’m Amethyst on Celebrity, so don’t pay a fee. When I did not have casino status, yes they charge you.

You will be charged 5% if you charge your room. I would bring cash to avoid that!

Can someone clarify the dining on Edge series? We booked late because our BCC offer just came in. We currently have an 8:30 dining. Do we go to any of the restaurants at that time? Has anyone ever tried to change to MTD and get there early, did you get a seat?

Aggiejd2000, if I recently became amethyst, when do i “get” my 7 day cruise certificate? I’m prime on Royal so that’s very straight forward. I wish they would combine our captain club points! I’d be Zenith!

Hello! Trying to figure out how to book our shows? Everyone says 45 days out, i'm 33 days out and cant find it. Any insight? btw, great review! thank you
