I have a Casino offer on the Carnival site under my special offers. I'm not sure why I got this. I usually go on 2 (3 or 4 day) cruises a year and play a little craps. How would they know I play? I don't use my card or anything, I always bring some cash to use in the casino.

You never used your Sign & Sail in the casino? Not even once? Even to cash out on the slot machines?

 

In my experiences, for table games, I only have to show my card once, maybe twice, before the pit boss knows who I am and starts rating my play without me handing over my card.

Was on the Pride earlier this month. Every time I sat down at the table and got chips, they took your card and swiped it and made an entry (I am guessing how much you bought). I an pretty sure they also made note when you left the table.

 

I think they can track how much you have won / lost.

It used to be they only knew when you won enough that they asked for your Sign and Sail card to track your winnings. But a couple of years ago they have started asking to see your card each time you play. Once they swipe it they track your play like any casino...

My experience as well, everytime you join a game, they insist on your S&S card. Obviously, they are tracking your bets.

Hi Lizardhowson, I see that you just came back from Amber Cove. I am due to go on May 26 2016, so how would you rate Amber Cove was it easy to get a cab? Thanks for your feedback.

 

Plenty of cabs. $35 US dollars for 1 to 5 people to go into Puerto Plata, same $35 fare to return to port.

 

The cabs go other places also, fares vary for each destination. The fares are prominately posted.
