George C Posted July 13, 2016 #101 Share Posted July 13, 2016 See my first post in the thread; if RCI is going to communicate a package of benefits, they should provide them, or update their communications to reflect what is accurate. I don't think it is hard to agree on that. Totally agree, and they should be same from ship to ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare xpcdoojk Posted July 13, 2016 #102 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Totally agree, and they should be same from ship to ship The ships are not all the same, so it may not be possible to do things exactly the same.

troykahack Posted July 13, 2016 #103 Share Posted July 13, 2016 (edited) And hanging in a smokey casino is not mine. So when you are in the mood to clean out your lungs come join me on the flowrider.:) I personally hate smoking and 2nd hand smoke. I generally only play a couple of types of table games, not poker or slots. I attempt to find a spot away from a smoker. If the smoke is bad, I leave. I think the cruise lines have made an attempt to clean out the air as quickly as possible in the casino. Maybe it is because of less and less smokers. It the days of past, I remember the clouds of smoke in the casinos. I would hope one day it would be banned from the casinos. I just don't think it is as bad as it used to be. I hate more a smoker on the balcony next or above/below us, no smoking in rooms or balconies. They break the rules and should walk the plank! Too much smoke, I find something else to do.

cinnamon Posted July 13, 2016 #104 Share Posted July 13, 2016 On Vision Class ships the smoke from the casino ruins the air around the Centrum, especially the GR desk. On a TA when it is open daily it was intolerable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted July 13, 2016 #106 Share Posted July 13, 2016 (edited) Why do so many want to get to Suite lounge without booking a Suite. I don't get it. I personally like the less people and faster service. The more people, the slower the service. I just don't get it.... I thought they were going to a DL (we are D's too but have never gone to either lounge yet) .... Just curious...since you state that you are D status, are you not listing all of your cruises in your signature? You list just four cruises in the C&A program, with three of them being the short 3/4 night cruises. Takes most of us a bit more line up to make D than that. How did you make it so fast on four cruises? What is your secret? Edited July 13, 2016 by island lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted July 13, 2016 #107 Share Posted July 13, 2016 (edited) Well if they were all pre conversion and in a suite that would be 56 ;) He does say that the signature thing is new, though. I used to show all mine, but it got to big, so i just put the ships Edited July 13, 2016 by John&LaLa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You scared we might make it too many D's? Not enough room in the lounge? When I said I am D, she is nearly D+ and I assumed her status. Doesn't that just make one churn?

I was under the impression you had to play for hours every day to get rated. This is a legitimate question, not an offhand remark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why she gave up Blackjack, always upset with her neighbors. Edited July 13, 2016 by John&LaLa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have occasionally seen changes from sailing to sailing on a B2B on the same ship! M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are more than enough lounges all over the ship to be able to use our 3 drink per night vouchers. :D Edited July 14, 2016 by island lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply can NOT *B*E*L*I*E*V*E* you would post such a VIOLENT image. :eek: ESPECIALLY without proper disclaimers appearing both before and after the image.

Good job! :) The cartoon is of Vicki Freed, VP of sales. It served it's purpose, I should probably replace it. The old signature had a line for every past cruise, it was big. Changed it when the Coming Up section got to big. Edited July 14, 2016 by John&LaLa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A GF is with her on the Med leg, and then she is solo for the crossing as well as the southern out of SJ. Say hi to Laura if you run into her.
