Rare John&LaLa Posted September 27, 2018 Author #376 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Experiment 1 is in the books and was successful [emoji41] I found a shrink wrapped Freestyle cup in our cabin on Serenade this August. I was planning on bringing it along to test the activation procedure. In other words, would it work for two weeks from the time it was first used. Answer is yes. I doubt I'll use it that much, but now we know. [emoji6] Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted September 27, 2018 #377 Share Posted September 27, 2018 John, thanks for the update. We quite often get extra cups with having BW balconies and drink packages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next experiment is buying Liquor on last night for our B2B. Probably Bailey's Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted September 27, 2018 Author #379 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Fire doors between elevators and Schooner came down about 30 minutes ago.

Probably Bailey's Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk We had luck with that a few times but I think it varies ship to ship. We bought it early evening on the last day so they just let us take it with us. Sent from my SM-G903W using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have it delivered the last night to their room and "gift" it away... One gets it free upstairs so no reason to do it. However, we have found Total Wine is as cheap as island or ship purchases and get ours off ship there, or did, as we no longer have a home.

Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk What is meant to “gift” it away? My question is, for b2b cruisers , is this an attempt to get around Royal rules that no alcohol (other than two bottles of wine per cabin) may be brought onboard for consumption in ones cabin? Certainly P’s, Royals most loyal customers, would be very clear on their policies. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkvillain Posted September 27, 2018 #387 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Lots of cleaning still going on, maybe it's for next week. Weird. They usually scrub the ship AFTER CruiseLifeRick sails, not before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you don't use it, why would you even try to beat the system???? Then they wonder why Pinnacles get a bad name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagunny Posted September 27, 2018 #391 Share Posted September 27, 2018 We're just articulating what "could" be done. Why buy something that you get for free any way?

dagunny Posted September 27, 2018 #397 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Another test for what if. Since Pinnacles get free streaming we wanted to view Netflix on our TV. Unplug the TV ethernet cable, connect your PC via HDMI cable. Use a tablet or phone with an IR blaster and PEEL and change input to the HDMI port and Voila, Netflix on TV. It also works pairing via Smart Screen Sharing without cables on phones and tablets. If one didn't "experiment" to test the waters, one wouldn't know if it worked.
