Some speculate that loud volume does work because (using some logic) the laud noise makes it seem as if you are winning, inviting more players to play. It's all a computer.

Play what you enjoy, just do not play at minimum. My experience has been if you wager somewhere in the middle, they play better. Min and max seem sucker bets. I am typically a high limit $5-$10+ player, but when on a ship, no way. I will only "play up" on HL in land based casinos and even then you have to be careful because some are vacuums. Play .02 instead of .01, that can make a difference as well. Remember, IT IS A COMPUTER...it can be programmed many ways

Too close. High winds, rough seas....too many variables

On the 22 day, we had mostly brunch, but occasionally I remember it being labeled as "lunch"

I'm Platinum Always a balcony cabin. Never been in pools or the human soup pots. Never done any waterslides. I believe we have done every Carnival stop, eastern and western, at least twice.

Parkas optional

It's what you make of it.

Still having water/condensation issues I see

Are you like this guy? or this guy?

That's part of crusing, life on the seas.

That sucks and can't help, but at least you had some time to prepare. Maybe not prepare for a whack that hard, no one is ready for that.

Never gamble for comps

It is not Disney World at sea. It is a smaller ship and your night time dinner choices are quite limited. That said, it's a nice ship to get you to your next destination. The ship, is not your destination, unlike the mega-ships.

You meant smoking weed, right?
