May I ask how you check inventory?  And, if not allowed on this site, disregard.  Thank you

 

I use a TA site that lets me click into each category (ie: 2A, 2B, 2C, etc) and lists a total number of rooms available in that category at the top of their "interactive view". Unfortunately, since it's a TA site, I am not allowed to mention the name of it here. I then put the totals into a spreadsheet to add them up and get an idea of how much inventory is remaining.

Well, I ended up sick with whatever my husband had. No fever and home COVID test was negative. I feel completely better now, but I didn't get much done over the weekend. Suddenly, this morning, I realized how much I need to get done in a short period of time! I got my regular laundry done over the weekend, but there are a few things I will need to re-wash before I pack, plus I still need to do my "cruise laundry", which are the clothes I only wear on cruises, but never in my real life.

 

I also need to go shopping for some last-minute toiletries and such to pack as well as just regular grocery shopping.

 

Plus, I need to clean my whole house, because I was super lazy and didn't do any cleaning over the weekend.

 

I did finally sit down and click through the Cruise Planner a million times to buy up all the slots free-play. For some reason, for my Equinox sailing in January, the Cruise Planner interface was completely different and I was able to purchase slot free-play in multiple quantities. For this sailing, I could only put one in my cart at a time and had to go through the full check-out process for each one individually. What a PITA! Even worse because I had to do it for both legs of my B2B.

 

Tonight, we have a social obligation (via Zoom, still isolating), so I won't have much time to get things done. Hopefully I can at least get my luggage tags and xPress passes printed.

If you have time, could you please send a link to more info about buying free slot play?  I know nothing about it, but seems like an oxymoron to me 🤨

You get a "discount" by pre-buying slot-play. You get $55 worth of play for $50. As far as I know, there is a max of $500, so you get $50 "free". The reason I do it mainly is because I can put it on my credit card and I don't have to carry around as much cash. You can also use OBC to purchase it.

 

I couldn't find a link, but here is the description from the Cruise Planner:

 

Overview

Get more Casino play for the same money. Buy $50 and get $55 in slot play credit.

Enjoy the non-stop action playing the newest slots in the hottest casino at sea and SAVE.

Purchase your casino slot play credits pre-cruise and get 10% extra credit. Maximum pre-cruise purchase is $500 (which gives you $550 in slot free play).

Gotcha.  Thank you!

I just received an email from Walmart that my order for Rebound Patches has been delayed. No detail on how long for. I am not surprised, because I kept checking it over the weekend and it had not shipped yet, despite still saying it would be delivered on the 15th. Now I am in the terrible position of researching alternatives and trying to find something on Amazon Prime that will be delivered by Friday afternoon.

Rebound Patches on Amazon aren't delivering until April, which is the whole reason I was forced to order from Walmart. I am in a full-on panic now. I'll check out your link.

Wow…I don’t recall seeing them in any stores locally…Wife and I are cruising in 12 days, I best check my supply of patches…the other really helps with hydration the morning after, even better if I remember to mix and drink one before going to bed..a powder you mix in a water bottle. 
 

We had a friend recommend Party Smart tablets, I ordered some from Amazon, have not used them yet..she said they helped her on a recent Vegas trip. 
 

I may try your keeping up with drinks thing one day on the Apex…not sure I want to know.

Aww, bummer! We've never used them before but I saw them recommended on here, so I had ordered them a few weeks ago from Walmart, since their price was better than Amazon.  They were supposed to be delivered last Thursday, but I received an email early last week that it was delayed, and then another email a few days later cancelling the order completely. After that first email with the delay I went and ordered the 30 pack from Amazon last week and they were delivered yesterday. We must have just gotten in before the went out of stock! But when we thought we might not get them, we were just going to go with B12 vitamins and electrolyte drink mixes.

B12 helps too, agreed.

Yeah, except during the early days of COVID, we have had no issues getting them quickly through Amazon. I was shocked when I went to order more last week and they weren't going to be delivered in time for my cruise. Sounds like they are having some supply chain issues and now it's also too late for me to buy a couple of 6-packs like @KKB did last week. The 6-packs aren't even showing as available on Amazon anymore.

Okay, so I had used the "Contact Seller" link on my Walmart order to reach out to Omni Global Labs last night. I just got a reply that they are going to Priority Mail my patches today, so hopefully they will arrive on Friday at the latest. I don't leave for the airport until late Friday afternoon, so I should have received Friday's mail by then. *fingers crossed* They will arrive on time. I also went ahead and placed an order for a different brand of patches in Amazon, which I can always return if the Rebound Patches arrive in time.

We could always drink less…wait, what?

It sounds like you have things worked out.  For future reference, Nuun tablets are pretty good for hydration and hangovers.  I once got through a trip to New Orleans without taking an Advil! 🤣

 

I always toss a vial or two in my bag when travelling.  Easy peasy, and they've always been prime shipping from Amazon.

 

Have a great cruise!  Give Summit a hug for me!

A cruiser recently posted on another thread that she bought some Rescue Patches at her local Target.

You can look at your cruise planner if you have a cruise booked.  There is a casino link at the top of the cruise planner.

No worries.  Sounds like a handy tool though

I just got two packs on Amazon the other day!

6-packs? Yeah, they had those in stock last week. I should have ordered them and not held out for the 30-pack from Walmart. Now the 6-packs are no longer available on Amazon and the 30-packs won't be delivered until late April. Holding out hope that the Walmart seller comes through on their promise to priority mail me some to get here by the end of the week.

Not sure where you are in Rochester but if you get desperate I can part with one of my 6 packs!  I am Greece-Parma area.

Oh, wow! That's a very generous offer! I am in Brighton, but I might take you up on that if I get truly desperate.

Got my luggage tags and XPress passes printed last night. I didn't have time for much else, since we had a Zoom event with friends scheduled. Today my plan is to run to Staples and pick up new card holders for my lanyards (the layers of my old one are peeling apart), get my "cruise laundry" done, and get all the vacuuming done around my house.

 

No update yet on my Rebound Patches. If the seller really did ship them via Priority Mail yesterday, I did not receive any notification.
