  1. What could possibly be wrong with Hiking Poles? People from Poland are allowed to hike just like everyone else hikes.
  2. Quick internet search for some rules My House Rules The organizer announces the Slot Pull location (I know, in the casino, I meant the specific machine) and time at the Meet & Greet. On Norwegian, you have to meet with the casino manager on the ship to set up the Slot Pull time and date, and that can’t be done until you’re on board. Remember, the casino usually doesn’t open until you’re in international waters. Also, it’s one more chance for people to decide to join in. The casino manager may provide prizes. Don’t count on it. This is a good way to dispose of your Latitudes “champagne”. My standard entry fee in $15 cash per player. On many $1 machines, this will give a player five pulls at maximum bet. The organizer will collect money at the start of the Slot Pull. The organizer deposits all collected money in the machine before the Slot Pull begins. Once the money is in, the roster of players is frozen. No late entries. Each player takes five Max Bet spins. It’s easier to just take Max Bet than to have players play random amounts. This way, all bets are equal, and you know how many pulls each player can take. Players take turns in the order of registration, or as determined by the organizer. Organizers generally go last. Keep track of each player’s total, if you have a prize for biggest win. (I have a spreadsheet on my iPad, which can be cumbersome. We had one slot pull where the organizers didn’t play, but I’m not that dedicated.) After all players have taken their turn, the organizer cashes out the machine and head for the border splits up the booty! No player cards in the machine. This is a friendly game! Payouts are in round dollar amounts – the player with the largest win gets the change(*) (*) For example, in our last slot pull, 11 players won $158. 10 players got $14, largest win got $18.
  3. Yes, Google has it for 2022 prices. But prices will be rising.
  4. You can carry them all on for sure, getting it to your stateroom will vary.
  5. I may have missed it... The shares can be held in a retirement account. (IRA, ROTH IRA, 403b, 401k...)
  6. They are quite a bit of work to organize and run, so they deserve the points.
  7. Ask and ye shall receive seek and ye shall find knock and someone will say; go away!!!
  8. Nothing better than grabbing a piece of Royal pizza and heading into Naples for the day.
  9. The Crown is good. San Pedro Brewing is up the hill a block for eating and drinking. They have a bar and restaurant on site, too. Coffee has always been available in our rooms, but perhaps not all. plus you can walk to the pier for Princess and Royal. But there is a shuttle.
  10. Pay the price, stay downtown. Go to Pike Place Market, Space Needle, Duckboat Tour, Ballgame, Pier 57 or some other desired tourist activities. Ride share or taxi to Smith Cove. (no hotel has a smith cove shuttle.) that I’ve ever seen.
  11. Best place: at your favorite restaurant in the embarkation city prior to heading to the ship.
  12. Entertainment: hmmmmmmm tv channels: check Google. It will be appropriately current and correct. movies - sure. Bring your $ got an internet package - you could stream with Roku, fire stick or the like
  13. Money talks. All parents will book what is cheap in many cases. Is the competition newer ships that was about the same pricing?
  14. no. You gather there one couple at a time, hopefully as you're boarding.
  15. Word is... Emerald and Platinum: one free glass of tap water Diamond: Two cookies Diamond Plus: Three cookies Diamond Plus 340: Six cookies (But they are weeks old) Diamond Plus 525: Three cookies and one slice of pizza(Cheese only) Pinnacle: Four bottles of waters, a key chain and no cookies Dreaming of an announcement soon.
  16. Unless there is something I don't know, I would book it Dan-O. Prices may not be favorable in the future. Of course, in this case, I'm writing this as a stockholder of a substantial amount of shares. Note to All: If you book a promenade view interior, please keep the curtain (not only the shade) closed when dressing.
  17. “IT” the Royal goblin has cancelled our paid cruises before also. Spent too many hours on the phone getting them reinstated. To have IT cancel them again. Had to go to the big boy to get a couple of the messes fixed. Even then I’ve been out additional cash, just to get the phone calls over.
  18. Pizza, potatoes and rice will never be limited as long as you eat up. Cheap fillers.
  19. I go with the fact that baseball thinks 3 out of 10 is really good.
  20. The Windjammer dinner hours are not normally a madhouse. Except, of course, on free tequila night.
