The three 10 plays in the Silverton high limit room have had all games in 25c, 50c and $5 removed. Now only $1 and $2 are available but still with 8/5 BP.
I can understand the removal of the $5 but the loss of the 25c and 50c 10 plays is disappointing. Boo Hoo.

Right you are. Both casinos are owned by Jeff Siri.

Anytime you leave a craps table with more than you bought in is a royal story in itself. (The "royal" is knowing to leave, LOL)
I always hold 3 to the royal, but I don't play DDB, so congrats on a great night!

Subject: [vpFREE] A royal flush story
Had a good run last night. I played Craps with a very conservative insides betting method. I would bet $22,44,or 66 insides.
I also then regress down to 22-insides or come all the way down if the craps rolls where showed up.
A few times I just press up the insides two times and then collect 4, then press up two times and collect 4, then press in that style up to table max. Mostly I would press up if the shooter seemed to have some care with how they where shooting the dice.
So, with a $300 buy in I won $463 for a color out of $763
I was done with craps and it was about 1am, so before I left the casino I played single line Double Double VP at the quarters level sticking in $63 (that is not a viable buy in for that game to survive the ups and downs - $350 would be about the right buy-in) so in about 15 minutes I was down to my last $10 dollars then I got four to the flush with the three high cards. The correct hold is to hold the flush...but then what am I there for? So, I held three high cards to the Royal Flush and GOT IT!
So, there was this security guard behind me watching me play. I had no idea he was there, but when that Royal Hit he got all excited too...I guess he never seen a royal flush because he was telling me that he saw me draw the hand, stopped and pondered what I was doing...cause I was pondering if i should hold the flush or go for the Royal..... but then I asked myself again...what am I here for? Go for it!
Needless to say, I cashed out and went home after that.

Hopefully, they've worked out some of the mega-ship kinks that they experienced on early cruises with the Breakaway, Getaway, etc. If you've never been on this size ship before, as opposed to the Jewel-Gem class ships, you'll find it very crowded, as the various attractions are not upsized proportionally, it seems. Our first trip on the Breakaway was absolutely awful, as the ship was some 400-600 people over capacity (4800 guests, we were told, as it was a New Jersey school holiday week. A second cruise, with about normal capacity, after she'd been cruising for some time was somewhat better. But one thing held true: on a Gem-class ship, the passenger to guest ratio is approximately 2 to 1. On our first breakaway, it was 3 to 1, and it definitely showed in the service. It was somewhat better at about 2.6 to 1 on our second trip.
A couple of recommendations: on embarkation day, visit the Box office, and make reservations for ALL the shows that you want to see for the whole trip. If you don't, you probably will not get in. The same goes with anything you need to book in advance: gourmet restaurants, side trips, etc. You're much better off cancelling later than waiting on standby for a show, hoping to get in. Get to the theater early for the shows, as later arrivals end up scattered in the remaining single seats.
Don't plan on being able to play in the casino at the time and machine you want. It tends to be extremely crowded.
Finally, plan on everything taking longer than you might expect - in other words, don't plan on a quick dinner in the main dining rooms and rushing over to make a show. It probably won't happen.
If you have sailed on this size NCL ship before, please forgive the length of my comments, and I hope that NCL has worked things out better, and that you'll have a wonderful cruise.

Enjoy, service and food is so much better on RCL, Princess and Holland America when we take a "break" from the NCL addiction. We do leave in a week for a NCL comp'd (not Ceasers) maiden voyage of the Escape from Hamburg in a week. Wonder how a first time shake down cruise will turn out.

In order to apply for a refund of the 30% withheld amount, you must file a 1040NR return, and attach to it 1042-S form(s) documenting the gross winnings and withheld amounts. I don't think I would want to chance making that filing without my correct name on the 1042-S.
Incidentally, it is now more than seven and a half months since I filed to recoup 2014 withholdings! Previously, this process took six to eight weeks. My thoughts on this are unprintable.
