Yo Eleven

No corkage fees if you keep the bottle in your stateroom. If you take the bottle to the dining room, specialty restaurant, or bar, you pay $25 per bottle.

That is fair!!!!!!!!!! And thanks for the info. Knowledge is power!!!!!!

Royal changed their policy on Nov 1. Applies to all guests, all ships, 2 bottles of wine per stateroom are allowed to be brought on board upon initial embarkation.

No corkage fees, right??????? I just wanna be certain! :D

Now that we can bring two bottles of wine per cabin, and that we will begin getting two complimentary bottles of wine for our D+ level, we certainly will not be buying this package! But great for those who will, if this proves to be factual.

When did this happen????

Does this apply to all passengers or you have to be at a certain level?

And is this policy on all RCI ships?????

Haha!!!!!

Well I just booked a cruise on the Menace of the Seas9 err Monarch. Gonna try my luck again there. Last time I won big there. But didn't care for the handling of the ship. Got another thread going on that one. LOL!

 

Anyway, hope I do a repeat and win big money. :D

I stand corrected!!!!! ERRRRRRR!!!!!! I didn't even play on this ship as it was a nightmare cruise in terms of stability and rocky seas. I confused my big win with the Celebrity Millenium I went on. Hopefully, it will work out this time. LOL

I know all that.

Haha!!!!!

Sorry you didn't have a good time on Celebrity.

My first time was much different. Hope your cruises

get better next time. Best regards, Yo.

Thanks so much for everyone's comments. We are going to book portofmiamicruiseparking.com but we are very early arrivers to the port. Does anyone know what time the lot opens? We plan on arriving at 9 a.m. the morning of our cruise departure. Thanks!

I saw that lot and who walks around that place. No way was I gonna leave my vehicle there. NO WAY!!!!!!

I just got off a two nighter and parked at a garage that i booked through globalairportparking.com. I clicked on cheap cruise parking and ended up at some garage on 1415 NE 2nd Ave (premier). I must say I was impressed with the service. We got there at our assigned time. Waited no more than 10 minutes when the shuttle took us to the port. When we got back we waited no more than 10 minutes and they took us back to the garage.

The garage is locked up and has an attendant. I felt my vehicle was safe there. I would use their service again.

Well I too am getting sick of getting ripped off for parking at the port. It is ridiculous. So I was searching around the forums and the web and found globalairportparking and found a place there.

I entered a discount code and got some $$$$ off. Going on a two day cruise. I got matched with a parking garage at: 1415 NE 2 Ave for total price of $18.40 with discount. It appears to be a parking garage only a few minutes from the port with free shuttle service.

I hope this turns out to be a good experience.

I always liked the casinos on the Princess. RCI has nice ones as well.

I can imagine something like that working in a land casino, but on a cruise boat. I dunno.

 

The first night I saw him there, he was dressed in all black w/ black hat like an Old West Undertaker.

The 2nd night he was dressed like a homeless bum in shorts.

Both nights he plopped down $1k and was tossing a wad of chips on don't pass. In fact the 2nd night the dealers had to hold him back as he kept wanting to bet over the table limit of $250.

 

He honestly reminded me of the movie Brewster Millions where Richard Pryor had to spend all the money before a certain time.

It was like he had a burn to lose it..

It was different though.

 

I did meet a gent named Chuck from NY. He knew what he was doing and taught me about C&E. That was a fun trip..

Obviously 1K to him was chump change. Yeah-that is what I meant. He prolly won big on land base casinos and was just trying to catch bait fish during the cruise he was on.

You don't know how bad I wanted to play the darkside, but the folks I met at the table were really not for that.

I watched an old timer drop $1k within 5 minutes on 2 nights playing the darkside and the folks let him know he was not welcomed

 

They did like the 4 - 7's in a row on the pass line though

Yeah that is par for the course all right. Not being welcomed that is. As for the old timer. I am certain he has had nights were he left the casino with $2,500 or more to the good.

Sailed the Glory in May and met some great players and had a total blast.

First timer, with the uncanny knack of throwing 7's all the time. especially after the point.

Going out on the Fantasy in Sept. Hope to have more fun....

Where have you been all my life. goldy? :p

Yo Eleven, get this man a dark side decoder ring.

I'll drink to that! :p

I'm not an idiot I'm just old:D

Well I like to wait until you old folks go to bed before shooting dice. I have concerns when y'all bring tanks of oxygen to the table. Craps and explosions don't mix well. :p

Thanks! Yeah, on a vacation cruise, I am not expecting any precision throwers. That is fine with me. Only thing that irks me is when the game gets slowed down so bad you are averaging about one toss a minute.

Adjust your schedule so you show up at 11pm or later to shoot craps. Most of the idiot players are sleeping by then. :D

Thanks for the information. I enjoy $5 minimums, as with my gambling budget, it allows me to play $5 on the line, back it up, and even play the 6/8.

 

I hate being the only one on the table, so glad to hear there will be others.

Nah- no way you will be alone on a Carnival ship. Lots of craps player. Now if you ask if they are GOOD craps players I might have different answer for ya. LOL

What can I expect for craps table turnout and table minimums on Carnival? Going to be on the Pride in September.

I was on the Carnival Fascination a couple of years back and I absolutely loved the table/dealers/atmosphere.

I remember the minimum being $5.00 and it was usually always open when the casino was open. Turnout was good each night I played. I think you will find your experience rewarding. Good luck.

I am not the one that mucked up this thread. I tried to give some first hand info from an EXPERT about passing the blah blah blah:)

Who cares? and stop mucking up the thread. :p

There is not one thing that can improve or decrease your odds except you.:D

If anyone thinks they can predict in any way shape or form what the next roll of the dice is gonna be needs to get their head examined. Craps is a game of chance. You are either lucky or not.

Well YO,

I guess y'all MISSED the part that said LOCAL CASINOS. Probably looking for your lost teeth. And yeah, we have been to Foxwoods and the Mohegan Sun where i previously stated i turned a 100 dollar buy in into 3300 hundred within an hour. Unlike some losers that can't count that high . Typical old f--t that can shell it out but can't take it. Our dealer friend from out west had y'all figure out a long time ago. That's why your so pizzed at him. The truth hurts. Oh yeah, just got back from Gulfport and Biloxi for a week , mostly comped.

Oh I can take it. But there is no reason to muck up the casino threads, hence why I gave you my email address, which you haven't had the balls to even use. :p

As for your dealer pal, isn't he doing real well interacting with the others here. HA!

See , that shows your LIMITED experience and how full of ZZZZ you actually are made of . LOCAL INDIAN xcasinos DO NOT HAVE CRAPS.. HaHaHa:rolleyes: Also, i at least blow a horn. Pick it up from there Mr. BIG

***** are you talking about and who stole your brain or hijacked your account? Which is it?

Guess you haven't been to Foxwoods. Now go hibernate and find your brain. :D

WHY ???????? Am i missing something ?????:confused:

Hmmm, all riled up I see. Your ???? here is a bit vague addressing the post to "Craps Players"

I found it funny because I wonder if Frank was thinking and alligator that lives in the everglades that is shooting dice at the local indian casino was emailing him.

There is your answer. Now go blow your horn. :D

Well...I just got back and they really came through. Basket of fruit, cheeses and wine, 2 bottles of water, $15 coupon for photos, 500 slot points, and 3 free drinks. The entire casino staff was great and knew me once I sat down to play. The hostess was better than I even expected.

Not a bad deal you got there. But, how much did you dump in their casino? LOL

I emailed Frank Scoblete awhile back and this is his answer to passing the dice.

 

Frank,

Can a shooter pass the dice midway during a roll ? Does the next shooter continue the roll or is the roll dead and the next shooter the new roller ? It’s a question asked on a cruise critic thread.

Thanks.

Evergladesgator

 

Dear Evergladesgator:

The shooter can pass the dice at any time. The next shooter will have to finish the previous shooter's roll. When that is done, the new shooter is usually allowed to then play his own hand.

Wait a second. You sent a note to Frank and signed it, Evergladesgator? Now that is hilarious. HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!

Yo thanks for all the tips on your stratigies as well as your humor.

You're welcome! :D

I figured I needed to post here.

Welcome hard_eight! Awesome moniker and avatar you have there! Enjoy the site here! Oh.....

Do you always place sucker bets? HAHAHAHAHA!

:p

Nothing says "I have a man crush on you" more than internet stalking.

Well, au contraire, sporting a moniker "ThatMan" makes me wonder as well. :p

Anyway, how about adding to your 11 total post count with some craps talk? :cool:
