Nope; sadly no other fruit. On my way to ChiBang now. Also, sorry this report isn’t filled with a bunch of pictures of boooooze…I’d rather eat my calories than drink them. (20 years of abusing your body eating nothing but fast food and soda will do that to you) -

Alas..no good fruit at Fresh Creations 😞 I’ll take another look at Lido Marketplace to see if they’ve got anything better than the standard (Red Grapes, Cantaloupe, Honeydew, Watermelon, Pineapple) -

It amazes me what people think is a “salad” (literally just a little ICEBERG lettuce followed by meat, cheese and TONS of RAAAANCH!) here’s mine.. -

Man, I’m torn on what I want to eat for lunch.. I want to be smart; so Fresh Creations But I want to see what Street Eats has… But I ALSO know ChiBang is hella good too! Maybe I’ll graze upon all three (start with a salad and maybe hopefully good fruit from Fresh Creations; then see what Street Eats has..and finish with a bowl of Stir Fry from ChiBang) -

And that folks; is a lesson on how to cruise on carnival for “free”. -

So I bought $10,000 worth of gift cards for $9000 from AARP. I load $2000 per day to my Sail&Sign (that’s the max allowed) I then go to the casino and “download” $2000 to my “casino bank”, from my Sail&Sign card. Then I play exactly 800 spins at $2.50 per spin (the machine keeps track of this by displaying “points”; you earn 1 “point” per $2.50 spin) the “expected loss” per $1000 of spins on a slot machine is 10%. So, in essence, I’m playing slots “for free”; but the real reason I’m doing it is to earn casino points (“for free”) to keep getting “free” cruises (I use quotes, because you have to pay $100 per person plus all the taxes/fees/gratuities) Like, this cruise right now was a “free” cruise; but out of pocket it cost $599. (Taxes/fees/Gratuites) for two people. If I didn’t care anything about the casino “offers” I could actually just “wash” the money through an earn $1000 on my $10,000 investment. (Which, depending on what my final tally is at the end; I may do from now on) NOW; if I had a second person with me; (I paid for two people because there’s no discount as a “solo”) they could do the same thing and technically you could make a max of $2500 (the gift cards max out at $12,500 per person per month) Its like the same type of gamification as Credit Card Churners..except for cruisers haha. however if EVERYBODY did this; obviously they couldn’t offer it. -

So the second $2000 wash went better than the first (I had a $800 bonus) but still felt short of the math; at $1701. Out of $4000 coin-in I’ve got a return of $3256 (EV is $3600) however if these machines are set to a lower payback than normal (I’d almost say they are) then EV shrinks to only $3400) so I guess if I just figure them at 85% EV, then I’m doing OK. -

Man heck yes! I just looked at the port schedules. Grand Turk - Only us and the Freedom Nassau - Only us and the Enchanted Princess That’s SUPER clutch to not have the ports just absolutely SWAMPED with people. (Especially for Nassau! Only TWO SHIPS!) I didn’t look at Amber Cove; because I may/may not get off the ship. -

For those wondering what those are with the omelette..those are the “brunch potatoes”..as I wanted something a “little” bit healthier than fried potatoes or instant grits. They were actually pretty good; they had a tomato sauce on them. -

Thanks! yep; “extended” balcony, I’ll DM you my cabin number. So you can see exact location. I’ve been in this room before, just on deck 10. Nothing gets put on your card (I see you’re an OG cruiser if you remember the stickers that went on the cards; I remember those too). The system just “knows” you have DOU (everywhere) via your S&S card. So I “reserved” the chair/umbrella at Jacks by sending them a message using Facebook messenger…however I ended up booking HomeSweetHome excursion based on others glowing reviews.
