KarmaCruisers

Yeah and I haven’t even used my “casual dining” credits..I’ll probably use those at Gigi’s and Sushi on the last two sea days.

Also shout out to @sonomaphil my homie from our “cell block”, for the shoutout during the slot pull. (when you walked past me in the hall earlier I THOUGHT it was you)

Second course, the always good classic fettuccine Alfredo

Appetizer (lump crab cake) and drink (woodford old fashioned) Both were excellent

Haha I think my steward feels sorry for me. i went up to change into a collared shirt and pants and I saw him and exchanged pleasantries..then when I came out after changing he was still there and he asked me “you’re not here with any family or friends?” I said; “nope; just me” and he’s like…ohhh…… it’s definitely better than sitting in a big empty house and having to cook for myself. plus, gambling is 100% the lonely man’s game..always people ready with either a celebration or sob story..

damn; played on slots from like 2:30-6:00; played at the bank of dragons links..dudes playing with me were having a good ole time..one dude was betting pretty healthy..($25-$50 a spin) hit a $5000 ball..then later on a $10,000 ball!!! needles to say he’s bankrupting the casino! He’s got 38,000 points I myself got absolutely wrecked and am now down $5500; but we ain’t dead yet! Had a few heartbreaks today with hands that COULD have been monsters (dealt four to a Royal with multipliers; any ONE would have been $4k) going to get dressed and head for first sea day (formal) dinner. afyer dinner probably more casino..if my two buddies are back on dragon link. (Or I can get one of the two GOOD poker machines)

Yea; buffet served up fresh grab & go. honesstly not as good as other Royal class ramen nights

Damn; these dragon links are going off: just watched someone pop a $5000 ball. Of course; homies got like 20,000 slot points already; so he’s definitely swinging hard. indropped a quick $300 at one of the four multigame vp’s (there’s a COLD pair that has always been open, then there’s a HOT pair which people are playing KENO! on) I finally was able to score a dragon link; but some rando is saying he doesn’t know how to use slots on the ship so he “lost” his $100 bill in it (probably put cash in then walked away and it went on the next players medallion)

Better picture of my “obstructed balcony”. i think like @sonomaphilsaid; if you absolutely don’t get seasick; this is the “cheat code” room, if you REALLY want a premium balcony and don’t want to pay big bucks As you can see this is EASILY 10’x10’.

For cripes sake! they don’t sell deodorant! looks like I’m getting off the ship tommorow to get some damn deodorant so I don’t smell like a hog.

I asked in Tagalog even..they said they literally don’t have any kind of bottled sambal in the buffet or galley at all.

And damnit! They had ramen!! but DOUBLE damnit…HOW!? They have NO sort of chili sauce if any kind! (No chili garlic, no sriracha, no sambol..nothing!) I had to resort to using Tabasco (which is crazy high in sodium unfortunately)

Thanks, lol

In other news..I forgot my damn deodorant! So I have to go to the sundries shop and get some. Also; I wore shorts today..but up here in the buffet I’m freezing my coconuts off! may have to go back to the room and either put on my hoodie or pants

Doh! I didn’t even walk further back at the buffet to see if the back part was open (usually where dinner is served) my surprise when it was! But that’s fine; I got a good plate (living in northern Mexico, we’ve got great Mexican food at home and get used to eating it)

I’ve tried an eye mask before..just can’t take sleeping with something on my face.

I was surprised by this too..all her sisters have at least 3.

Also also..this casino has crummy slots. Absolutely NO lightning link, and only 6 dragon links. ohh yeah; two mighty cash’s

I dug myself the whole playing 25c TriplePlay UltimateX; then I stepped up to 50c to dig out. Also; they must not go on coin-in, just straight points alone..because 4000 points seems to be the number where a “host” will ask you if you want a free specialty dinner (saw another gal playing slots and get the “tap on the shoulder” when she was just above 4000.) even though on slots 4000 points is only $10,000 coin-in, and on video poker it’s $20,000. (But I guess slots edge is 10% where vp is 5%..so same same)

So; I gotta say..these beds are way different than the other Royal class beds..these are more like carnival beds, where the other Royal class ships beds I’ve literally SANK into (I like a soft mattress) I also just realized, with a balcony you can NOT sleep in (waking here up at 11)..we tried an interior on the last cruise (only because we used both our casino offers to put my cousin and his parents in balconies; so they bought us an interior..I wanted them to all go on a cruise as cheap as possible) and I gotta say, it’s BLACK in an interior (which I now realize, I really like for sleeping in) Like @sonomaphil said; the motion was rocking last night..however I guess I don’t find it TOO bad; it’s just the moving around part that’s fun (“sea legs” haha) no real plans for today, other than maybe hit up some trivia’s and the Yes/No gameshow tonight. I’d also like to hit the PES lounge just to see what’s up. if you see me around the ship; say hi. (My shirts will make it obvious it’s me)

We’ll see if it does or not.

UltimateX video poker sorry for radio silence..got dirty in the casino.. dug myself A big hole ($3000) but battled back to only $1000 down..but my machine was hot so I gave it another $500 to make sure. SO many dealt trips that could have connected to be handpays (I was playing $15 a spin). So when the smoke cleared I’m down $1500 but earned 4000 points so far and the host gave me a comp for Catch on Monday… lol even she asked me “I see Krista is in your room; for two right?” I said NOO she’s NOT ON THE SHIP! So only for one. back in the room ordering some soup and salad from room service.. I also dunno if I’m going to be able to take this room location..it’s MOTION LIKE CRAZY! Like I will NEVER bid again to risk this. Going to eat my soup and salad and watch equalizer 3 (been wanting to see it) and sleeeeeeep in tommorow!

Of course the classic desert, cheesecake

Wunderbar!

Entree..
