5 pulls at a total of $20 a pull. So $ 100 dollars of free play. 
 

Immediately sent $3500 to the safe kept $$1500 for future slot pulls. 
It was. “ spit fire” and I got the $$$$ on the 7 extra spins. 
 

❤️

Thanks for sharing. Very interesting. My luck would be losing that $100 very quickly.

For laughs and giggles ever wander over to the roulette wheel trying to double up your money(winnings) with letting it ride on a color? red or black ?

 

They way your luck is, I would be very tempted to try it a least a few times.

Great slot win! Following along. Can you remind me again, how do you determine what slot machine you sit at?

Now mind you RCI has been known to move slot machines around from cruise to cruise. 
 

HOWEVER. 
 

If you walk in to the casino to the left  as you go by studio b. ( ice skating rink) 

when you enter casino there will be machines to your right. In a row. 
 

On top they are called Spitfire. 
 

They give free spins in groups of 7 if you hit the 3 “bonus” symbols you get bonus spins with a multiplier to win more money. 
 

Also. 
I usually spend the first eve after dinner in casino. 
I do not go on Second day. Always few hits not talking big jackpots but little tokens of appreciation. 
 

Best of luck.

Some general observations. 
 

Solarium is beautiful. We got there at 9:30 am and found two loungers first row overlooking ocean. 
It seemed that 10am was the onset of many guest. 
It got packed. 
 

No ice buckets in room. If you want ice ask on first day. 
 

King bed might be on the harder side but very comfy. 
 

New hair dryer in our cabin. A tad bigger than older one and dried my hair in the usual time. It’s power reminded me of a con air but RCI you still have to hold button down to keep it going. 
 

Guest have been very accommodating especially at the elevators. 
 

Windjammer selection nice variety. 
 

Towels nice and fluffy. 
 

Bartenders abundant. There everywhere. 
 

Giving cans of pop out during the open bar time in suite lounge. 
 

OK

Today I’m watching the news. I cannot remember Radio’s favorite station???

 

Be safe. 

[Lionesss]

Suite lounge full for Happy hour.  
 

Nice selection of hour devours.

@Lionesss Wishing you and enjoyable and lucrative cruise.

Just thinking out loud here about the casino after reading your post about the generous payout you hit in the first night of the cruise.

I am assuming that you put your passenger card ( cruise card,key card, whatever RCL calls it) into the slot machine when you begin play. Is it possible that there is a way to track a passengers play history and reward a frequent slot player with a big payout to encourage that player to keep going to the casino? Also,others could hear about a passenger’s big win and decide they would play the slots also in hopes of hitting it big.

Not taking away any of your luck or casino skills, just thinking of ways a casino could encourage players. 😊

I won this on my 5th pull on free play. 
 

 

So far a good night. 

 

That should offset the pre-cruise number.🙂

FREE SUITE GIFT

 

That's nice.  You really got two gifts; lanyards and a barf bag if needed later. 😂

 

In all honesty, you will probably use this bag for carrying cash home later. 😉

[Lionesss]

All loungers/ pool chairs in solarium claimed by 8:20 am. 
 

Resting on one of the wicker cushioned couches in front of the bar. 
 

Beautiful breeze. 
 

 

 

Be safe.

Have you tried the small, non-smoking casino on Symphony yet?  We found the selection to be very limited in there.  But the smoke in the main casino is bothersome to us.

Have you gone to the suite lounge?  Are loungers available there (w/o being occupied by towels?_))

Ended up there Saturday night. 
 

Card games. 
 

Mostly computer screen slot machines

 

3 slot real machines. 
 

I was entertained for hours on one with only $50 initial startup. 
 

 

[Lionesss]

I thought the solarium used to be 16 and older. 
 

Sign says 18.

My phone was gone. 

Now we have the app, my phone is hanging around my neck or charging on the desktop.

I bought this one but there are many.  I don't have any trouble forgetting it now.  And it holds my room card.

Early ?

In my recent experience by 7:30 there are very few decent spots not already hoarded .

I'm Jealous ! That pic looks half civil

Ship News. 
 

We are hearing that there are a group of teen girls vandalizing the guest pictures/posting on doors. 
They have been drawing inappropriate pictures and removing as well as destroying personal items. 
 

It is happening late in the evening. 
 

We are on the 9th floor and have seen some of their Handy work. 
 

Reports have been filed with security and guest services and their response is lame. 
 

Guest are being told when you see this call security and they will come up. 

WOW. By the time they would get to the area. They would be long gone. 
 

Folks if you see any misbehavior snap a picture of the group. Maybe something more can be done. 
 

Be safe.
