It looks like the ship was empty, is that true?  I am sailing in 10 days and hope to find limited capacity.

I am travelling back to Florida for the winter and wanted to bring two tins of our homemade Olive oil and some salami.  It is all sealed and wanted to just put it in my suitcase since I don't need to travel by air but I'm now afraid they won't let it pass.  I'm on a Princess TA.  Does anyone know the rules about this?

Hopefully the OP will let us know how it turned out on their cruise in MARCH 2007.

HA! That just proves my brain is still crossing the Atlantic.

I would be sure to fill out the Mobility Questionare so they see that there are no needs for accomodations. Maybe that will flag you so if the cabin is needed you will be informed.

the only time I can remember a cruise was cancelled was when it is chartered by a large group and that in only done 6 of more months in advance. In case of weather they simply change the itinerary as we are now seeing.

I was supposed to sail on the Saturday before Irma hit. The cruise was cancelled the Tuesday before sailing and we were refunded 10O% if what we paid, and given a 50% future cruise credit.

I was scheduled to sail on the Escape departing Miami on September 9. Due to Hurricane Irma the cruise was cancelled 5 days prior to departure. My credit card was refunded 100% of what paid. NCL also gave a 50% cruise credit towards a future cruise. Yesterday I received another email from them stating that any cruise booked prior to the end of the year would also receive a $75 onboard credit. I have had already rebooked and without knowing why, there was an onboard credit.

I absolutely agree that I would not give the Casino advance warning of your arrival. I have run 2 slot pulls on 2 different ships. I never notified the Casino Manager in advance other than when we all walked into the casino. IMHO this gives them less time to "possibly" set the machine to pay off less. Maybe you would miss out on a free drink but I would rather win lots of money. The Casino manger and her staff were excellant when they saw so many people who were going to participate.

 

Here is what I posted on Cruise Critic on the thread for our cruise:

 

 

THE SLOT PULL

 

HOW DOES IT WORK? - Everyone who wants to participate will bring their $15.00 to the meeting spot. You will each get five (5) pulls on a dollar slot machine that utilizes $3.00/pull. The winning money will accumulate in the machine and that will be divided among the participants at the end of all pulls. The payoffs will be in even dollars.

The extra money above the even dollars will be awarded to the player who gets the group the highest amount on their slot pulls. Each person’s winnings will be recorded at the time of their pulls so we know who will get the side pot of the money after the even dollar pay-out.

 

 

WHEN WILL WE DO THIS? - We will meet XXXXXXXXX @ XXX on the starboard side of the casino Fiesta Deck 6 just outside the Casino. We will all go into the Casio together and start our play.

Payoffs will be handled immediately afterwards and handed out to all who joined in the Slot Pull.

· If you wish to participate' date=' please give me your name and cabin # in case there is any [u']change[/u] at all in the schedule and I can notify you. We need more people to make this lots of fun, so please join in. This is what I need for those who want to participate:

o Your names – first names only for each person who is going to participate.

o Your cabin # in case there is any change in plans and I can call and leave a message in your cabin

If you do not want to post that information here, you can email me at XXXXXXXX

By having this information in advance, I can make up a chart at home to track names the amount each person wins on their pulls.

 

 

I also have an Excel spread sheet that you can print in advance to track how much each person won for the group. If you will give me your email address, I will forward that spread sheet.

These are always great fun.

I would love the spreadsheet if you could e-mail it to me as I am co-planning the Slot Pull for our TA. My e-mail is itsgeemail (at) gmail (dot) com.

Thanks
