What's the next one? I'm doing my first B2B on the Mardi Gras, beginning February 4. Thanks for sharing all the photos and narratives of your trip, I really enjoyed them. Was being selected for Deal or No Deal the highlight?

So happy you got to play and the photos and the way you told the story with them was FREAKING AWESOME! I agree you should have taken the $171, we all would but it's not the same when YOU'RE on the clock! Enjoy the $20 anyway!!!

Noooooo!!!! Not the dreaded "To be continued!!", not NOW!!!!!! We want answers, mister! Hope you won a big prize!!!!!

Karen looks like a Karen. Look at those folded arms and upside-down smile... "I'm ENTITLED!"

I have the same mirror situation as you, my daughter plays slots and I play table games only. Points are not awarded at table games at all; rather you get "rated". That said, I always get free balcony offers with OBC plus casino cash while my daughter only gets free inside with casino cash offers.

GREAT PICS!

Did you get chills or anything considering you're cruising and visiting Titanic graves? I ask because over the course of the nine years I've been cruising, "Titanic" came up in conversation a handful of times and just one time did I feel creepy about it. I still wonder why "just that time", like maybe a relative of a survivor or victim was on the ship with me?

I agree.

Caesar salad, but they don't broadcast that it's available. You have to ask for it. I don't know what other possibilities there may be because if I'm in that line I'm usually CRAVING pizza.

As Cramer would say BUY BUY BUY! It's more likely that Carnival would file for bankruptcy (reorg) than for the stock to go to zero. The price of a stock is the last transaction price and who would sell shares at zero? In all seriousness, I had Lehman shares when it went bankrupt and although the stock was "worthless" I waited four years with a strange ticker in my brokerage account (something like "LHM##") and wound up getting paid something like $17. If it goes to zero and you want to sell, I'll buy all of it.

Albino broccoli?

You, Sir Double Dare, are living on the edge! "Is there bacteria in glacier water? To find out, scientists collected snow and ice samples from 21 glaciers over the years 2010 to 2016. Each was melted and then tested to see what was in the water left behind. The researchers found 968 unique species of bacteria, 98% of which had never been seen before." 😱

Thanks for posting all the pics of Messina. I saw more of it from your pics than the two times I was there (mainly because I had excursions both times).

In this pic you can see the Pride docked in the small bay/port of Messina. In the distance, the entire mountainous region you see is the tip of the toe of the boot.

Maturity is overrated. 😁 🏴‍☠️ "Why is the rum always gone?"

Hope that loyalist got a good dose of impressment.

Question: Are you using a cellphone to take/post the photos and have you found a way to get those spaces between the photos other than uploading them one at a time? TIA.

Very interesting and you piqued my curiosity! It was written at as a four paragraph poem then later turned into a song and we only sing the first paragraph!

Look at that handsome young man!

Jimbo, can you share what tour guide said about the two-story structure? Like from what dates and by whom it was constructed and used? It really is a magnificent ruin.

As usual, Cheng enlightened all of us. 🙂

At the end? What's wrong with those people???

Looks like nap time at Husband Day Care. 😁 🏴‍☠️

Pirate Punch just because I like ordering it in a pirate's voice, and Zombie (all-time favorite). 😁 🏴‍☠️

Are you on a double-decker HOHO?
