I've never been in the Wynn Resort, and that one was named for me.

And, of course, you have as much money as Steve Wynn - NOT!

Kevin RCI gives coupon books to repeaters.......drinks buy 1 get 1, casino match play, internet, etc. They vary by the level you are in Crown and Anchor.

Okay. Thanks Rose. I guess I'll have to sail with them that first time before I get any special repeater bennies...

We just sailed for the second time on RCI and got a booklet of coupons. I was surprised to get one since we had just gone on one other cruise with them.

I agree with you Kevin, switch to RCI to get the freebies! :wink2:

Sometimes, though, FREE ends up costing a lot of money!

Having worked on a few ships, and roomed with a few Casino techs...here's a tip for slot machines.

Play the ones closest to the main doors...they're actually programmed to pay out more. Sit outside the Casino, and wait to see if someone plays one of those machines for a while without winning. When they leave...jump in there and win win win!

It really does work. Most Casinos do that to encourage people to come in and gamble...because if they see people winning when they first get there, they're more than likely to put down money and play.

Also, with Blackjack...play the table minimums until you lose, then double up until you win it back...and then start betting the minimum again. You usually need about a $1500 float to do this safely on a $5 table...but if you play that way...you'll never lose. Some casinos won't let you play that way...but some will. You won't win big...but you'll always end up with more money than you started with.

Thanks for the tip Jeff. I will try it on our next cruise. The slot machines I mean, have never played blackjack...

Hey, I'm definitely an extrovert and wouldn't mind being on display but all my children are nowof the adult variety.

People seem to have strong views about the giant new ship, Oasis of the Seas. For me, the 1,900 PAX Noordam was too big, and I won't even consider a ship half the size of Oasis, much less Oasis itself. I probably wouldn't sail on Oasis on a freebie. For others, it's exciting, and I've seen roll calls for the ship on these boards. So today's question is:

Do you want to sail on Oasis of the Seas? Why or why not?

Obviously, I've already answered.

We would not be thrilled to sail Oasis... we too like the smaller to mid sized

vessels ..1300 pax or less is dreams for us
