last week on the miracle the app didn't update the points everyday. I think it is a system problem.

I was also on the miracle last week and was handed $1000 in cash. I played it all on the table games. There was a long list of players being handed cash on that cruise.

Out of Galveston, we were told we had to wait until the casino opened for drinks everywhere. We didn't try to purchase a drink before then, so we don't know for sure. Out of Long Beach we were able to use it as soon as we boarded.

Plus to get the cash off of the players bank they have to present the card at the cashiers cage and they will swipe it and see the picture. Same if trying to get chips at the tables. No way the card was used in the casino.

That is for the standard drawings for all casino players, it is called the Fireball drawing. I am referring to the special drawings they have at night for Elite players only.

you can use cash or your sail and sign card in the casino. when you download money from your sail and sign account at the slot machines they do not charge a service fee. At the tables they charge a 3% fee.

That is why it is so crazy to me the amount of elite players that are not present for the drawings.

Don't forget they have special drawings in the casino most nights for elite cruisers only. I am always amazed at how many names are called and they are not in the casino to claim the prize.

table games rate you by your average bet and time spent at the tables. I typically will gamble more money than my wife, but she gets better offers because she does the slots. I only do the table games. However, after going on 3 cruises, August 2021, December 2021, May 2022, my offers were equal hers after the may cruise. Also on the table games, the amount you bet on the bonus bets do not count toward your rating.

Reminder check in starts midnight eastern time.

I have been cruising with carnival since 2006 and don't remember ice buckets ever being filled without asking. I think a lot of people are making a big deal out some of the Carnival cut backs. Some of these things are not a big deal. Do you really need twice daily room cleaning and turn down service. Plus the other cruise lines, RCL, NCL are doing the same things.

you do not get any casino points for the texas hold em poker. You do use your sail and sign card and this creates a poker account. This account is different than your casino account. So if you play table games and slots and poker you need to cash out both accounts. You can load money on the card with cash at the cage or from your sail and sign account. Every once in a while the casino host will come by and buy drinks for the table playing poker.

When I was there in November of 2019 they took them down because of the hurricane Dorian. I guess they haven't put them back up yet?

Are you even going to sleep tonight? I have a hard time sleeping when I have to get up in the middle of the night.

Greg, are you flying out tonight?

Yes, 11:01 Central time. I usually log in and select the arrival time, and then wait till the next day to finish the rest of check in.

I have been to one show at Jerryworld, ATT Stadium, and it was horrible. The sound echoes inside because it is so big. this was a few years ago, Guns and Roses. I hope you have better sound.

Any more upcoming concerts? I like your taste in music.

Greg, the real question is will you be wearing a Kamara or Brees jersery during the game?

Exactly why we got the extra room keys the second time.

You will be platinum on the first day of the cruise. However, if this is a Journey's cruise there is no priority boarding as most on the cruise will be platinum and diamond. You can still check in to the cruise at 16 days to try and get one of the early boarding times.

We have done it both ways. One time guest services printed us new sail and sign cards. no extra keys. The second time we just got extra keys so 2 people had to carry a sail and sign card and the extra room key.

You just described me. How did you know?

I like that option.

I wear dress pants and long sleeve button up to elegant night. However, I would prefer they did away with having to dress up so I can wear shorts with a polo shirt and flip flops. What others wear doesn't bother me at all.
