Silhouette internet & casino info

[roxievegas]

on Transatlantic Silhouette for 13 nights - going to Southampton

the internet is $179 for unlimited package ($199) if no discount). they have Xcelerate and I sent pics with an email - took about 3 minutes to get confirmation that it was sent. Regular email with no pics went fast.

Casino is offering: purchase $100 get $110, $300 get $340, $500 get $575. You can only purchase the package during the first three days of the cruise. The max you can purchase is $1,500 worth, so you can get $225 bonus money if you do the max. You can purchase with cash or charge to your room and no service charge. The amount is posted to your seapass card. When you play on the machine, you input your card, hit your "secret code" and hit promotional $ and tell it how much you want to play on the machine. We are at sea for 8 days, so we will be playing. Hubby won $1090.00 on machine tonight.

Special for Blu - get two specialty dinners for $59 per person. I am sure that anyone can get that, but everyone in Blu is asking if we want to buy it.

We did not get a beverage package, so far not needed. Spent $4.13 for one coke. (3.50 plus .63 grat)

I don't get the Blu price, Blu is free to AQ and Suite Patrons, no one else can eat there and this is strictly enforced.

i think the OP is saying that they are offering 2 speciality dinners for $59 to those in Blu. We were in AQ in March and Host in Blu was offering a 2 for 1 if we wanted to dine in in a speciality restaurant.

They seem to offer lots of discounts for specialty dining, and promote them like this "special price for Blu diners, go to Muano for 35%,off" but then you find out that they offered this same price to Concierge Class or that they made the identical deal available to everyone. It's all supply and demand.

More than likely the promo chips for the casino have no cash value, meaning that you have to play the, you can't cash them.

 

If you are on a pure winning streak (yah, I know that never happens!) you will be stuck with them. For the rest of us ... you have to play the promo chips until you lose them. So it's not "free money", you keep the winning bets, but you always have to play the promo chips until they are gone. Not sure how it works on slots though.

 

I could be wrong, but make sure you read the fine print before you buy

Thanks! Getting extra 15% chips sound great. Is that per person or cabin?

 

Funny how they're offering Blu patrons specialty deals - is it getting too crowded there?

Sorry for confusion. The offer is to flu patrons . they are saying that blu can get a discount to buy the specialty restaurants. I have not checked to see if it is a better deal. Because we have no plans to eat in the other places. We ate lunch in bistro 5 for lunch. Waitress got my order all messed up but food was good today's special is chicken pot pie my hubby favorite

Regarding casino. If u play it is worth doing. It is per person. The promotion money goes on your individual sea pass card. So two people in a cabin can spend 1500 max and receive an additional $225 for total of 1725 each. We are on board for 13 nights so we can. Using the card . when u win a jackpot u print out our winnings and cash the ticket in.. You have to play the. System.

Do you know if this offer good only for slots or can it be used for table games?

 

Thanks!

the money is on your seapass card, so you can probably swipe your card at the tables and they will give the amount of chips you want. I will ask at the cashier cage later tonight. I asked if this program will be available on the next cruise (we are B2B2B) and was told yes. I do not know if this is available on the other ships, but I can't see why not. Last night when we went to dinner at Blu we met a man who did the same thing we did. He had purchased $1500 (and received the bonus of $225) but he put it on his cabin (no 5% charge). He then won $2500, so he went to guest relations and paid $1500 on his account in cash so the charge was a wash.

i checked with casino manager and the special is only good for playing on the slot machines. If you like playing both slots and tables, get the special, play the slots, keep your winnings and cash in the tickets and then use that money for the tables

On silhouette now. Offered $25 Tuscan for same number night. The wait staff was offering to everyone at the martini bar. Fyi

Called high speed internet I don't think so it's so slow can't do video can't do films etc it's a joke paying so much and they say download videos I don't think so

[the more ports the better]

Can you stream Netflix? We're on a 12 day in June. An hour in the gym is much more pleasant with Netflix!!!! (I'm obsessed, I never miss a day)

 

Royal Caribbean was super fast at springbreak with the kiddies. Same parent company as celebrity so I'm hoping internet is as fast.
