Why do some people remove the pickguards on Epiphone Casinos (usually on the natural finish ones). Is this for cosmetic reasons or is there any advantage in removing it? Was wondering if it was maybe easier to fingerpick, for example, without the pickguard? Any ideas? I don't own a Casino yet but hope to soon (probably the Elitest version).
At least for my part it's pure cosmetic. Some guitars just look better without pickguard, or the pickguard doesn't match the rest of the guitar. Removed the plain white pickguard from my Riviera, because it doesn't match the candy apple red finish, creme bindings and black pickup frames at all. Left the black pickguard on the ES-335 though. Removed the pickguard from the Les Paul Custom Black Beauty, because the plain white inner plies and the overall plastic look don't match the Customs creme bindings and black finish. But left the single ply creme pickguard on the Les Paul Standard, as it matches the creme pickup frames and creme binding.

Regarding John Lennon, he did a lot of fingerpicking at the time he had his sanded/stripped Casino without pickguard (1968/White Album era), although I don't know whether he was using the Casino on these tracks.

American Hawaii did not have a casino on the Constitution and I assume that the
Independence is the same. Probably something to do with the fact that they
spend so much time in US waters.

Yes, Hapag-Lloyd's 420-passenger COLUMBUS, now cruising on the Great Lakes
until October does not have a casino. There are a few other ships like that as
well.Kevin Griffin

Try World Explorer Cruises. They have a 16000volume library where the casino
used to be. 14-day Alaska and Latin America cruises. Summer season is May
to September. Latin America is end of December to Feb. Other months ship is
used as a college ship. No Latin America cruise in '98/99 but there will be
a millenium cruise in 99/2000.-----== Posted via Deja News, The Leader in Internet Discussion ==-----

The specialty line Voyages to Antiquity has one small ship (about 350 passengers max); there is no casino. They sail interesting itineraries in the Mediterranean during spring, summer and fall, and in Asia during the winter. Great guest lecturers.
If you know you have a gambling problem, I would not start the status match at all. It is not worth it with how many temptations there will be walking through casinos to do the status matches.

It gives you automatic Diamond status with Wyndham Resorts which is one of the options for the first step in tier matching at casinos. As long as you continue to pay the $95 a year, you continue to stay Diamond level and be able to status match.
If you have World of Hyatt Explorist or Globalist, Hyatt partners with MGM. Discoverist only matches to MGM rewards Pearl which is not good enough. You can start the casino status match merry go round from Hyatt to MGM instead of Wyndham to Caesars.
Ocean Casino in Atlantic City is one of the casinos that offers a free cruise. Rivers Casino in Philadelphia is the other (some recent data points are that this free cruise no longer works as they are taking it away from those who already booked it). Both of them require a trip to Atlantic City to get those free cruises.
I did not know about the additional casino status match options in Philadelphia when we booked the trip. When I found out about them, we were already on the plane heading north. It worked out though because we had planned a week to road trip through New Jersey and Philadelphia as well as visit some friends and family.
As it stands right now, I can submit my Caesars Diamond or MGM Gold elite status to get a free cruise offer from Carnival. This is likely to be for a free cruise where I pay for port charges and fees. There is also a deposit you pay that you get back as onboard credit. You can use that for dining, in the casino, or for some services.
There is also a website called UR Comped that lets you submit your casino players cards and any comp offers you have (must have your name and player number on it) to see if others want to match you for land based on cruise offers.
Since we live in Florida, I wanted to see if any of our casinos here match. I have to start out with a trip to Tampa to the Hard Rock there to get on the Unity by Hard Rock program. My Caesars Diamond status should match to Hard Rock Icon there (also good in Vegas) which should come with a credit.
My favorite resources for learning about earning free travel are the 10X Travel free course, website and Facebook group. The Facebook group had a post on the casino merry go round which is where I learned a lot of this.
One question: when did you do your status matches for Philly casinos? A search for recent data points state that Philly status matches are largely dead as they've caught on ( -casino-matches-are-mostly-dead/). Thanks in advance!
This is a story about gambling, even though I'm not much of a gambler. Before starting research for this story, I don't recall ever playing anything in a cruise ship casino. However, this is a story about how I played the slots in Royal Caribbean's Casino Royale to earn a "free" cruise. Your results may differ from mine. Please gamble responsibly.
A casino comp is a free item or perk given out by a casino to entice you to play more. To earn casino comps on a Royal Caribbean cruise, you must first spend time and money gambling in the onboard casino, Casino Royale, being careful to use your Sea Pass cruise card to track your play. That gets you "rated" as a player in the line's Club Royale casino loyalty program, which in turn gets you perks and comps based on a points system. (Note: These tiers are not related in any way to Royal Caribbean's Crown and Anchor loyalty program for frequent cruisers.)
Each tier level comes with perks and discounts; once you make it to the second tier, Prime, and beyond, you also get a comped cruise at the end of the current program year. Prime members, for example, earn a comped inside cabin and also get free drinks at the casino bar on every cruise as soon as the level is reached.
For example, if you hit the 800-point level on a single cruise, you get an instant reward certificate good for $250 off select cruises, and an onboard booking bonus of a complimentary interior cabin on select dates. (Note that if you book the free cruise, you don't also get the discount.) At higher point levels, the certificate earned may be for a comped cruise and the onboard-booking bonus is for free play (money on your account that is only valid for casino play). In this case, if you booked the cruise on board, you'd get both perks.
If you walk off the ship without booking a cruise or putting down a deposit for a TBD future cruise, you lose out on the bonus offer, though you can still redeem the instant reward certificate within the allotted time. Instant reward certificates get particularly tricky if you reach a high point level on the last night of the cruise.
The third opportunity for Club Royale members to earn rewards is the most mysterious. This is when the cruise line selects recipients based on demographic criteria such as age, place of residency, number of times cruised per year, average bet, average time spent in the casino or even marital status and sends them targeted offers, which can range from $100 off a cruise to complimentary junior suites. These marketing-based offers are usually limited to specific sailings, often with close-in dates, for a range of cruise lengths and cabin categories. Members report receiving them by snail mail, email or strictly via the Club Royale member website.
The more points you earn on a single cruise, the better your marketing offers are likely to be. Players who get marketing offers for junior suites are typically running quite a bit of money through the casino or did that at least once; a cruiser who gambles $20 on a cruise probably won't get marketing offers at all. There's also no guarantee that once you start receiving these offers they will continue; they can stop as mysteriously as they start.
If I wanted to score a comped casino cruise, I first needed to go on a cruise and play in the casino. My main goal was not to spend too much (because that would take away from the value of the comped sailing), so I found a five-night sailing on Quantum of the Seas in early May when Alaska prices were low. My husband and I used Southwest Airline points for flights to Seattle to help keep our initial costs down.
The booking window is narrow on these offers. Facebook casino friends had warned that rooms allotted for casino comps can disappear quickly, so I started my search for a cruise as soon as the first offer arrived. Again, my goal was to keep the cruise as "free" as possible.
I called the Casino Royale reservations line. After a hold time of only two minutes, I had an agent on the line helping me book my comp cruise. She quoted me $86.42 per person in "taxes, fees and port expenses," $33 per person for a "casino upgrade" and $58 per person for prepaid gratuities. The amount charged to my credit card was $354.84. The total charges for an outside cabin without the casino comp offer, plus taxes and gratuities, would have been $1,036.84, a savings of $682. 0852c4b9a8
