ALSO Live on the Discovery 2/3-2/10/24 Mexican Riviera

[KarmaCruisers]

Apparently a no-show literally wreaks havoc..went to play in the casino a little..went to cash out..machine locked up..stuck at “processing cashout”

casino attendant and manager came and said “where is your wife??” And I said “no show, not on the ship” and this LITERALLY blew their mind. Apparently she’s still showing up all over all their si systems..and we have the same folio number (even the manager is like “I do not know how that’s even POSSIBLE”)

odd that they did a passenger manifest and somehow she’s STILL Showing

I was on the sky last month in a obstructed deluxe balcony E105 2 cabins from all the way forward it looks like a similar cabin as mine did not think it was too rough for me but I was in the Caribbean not the Pacific in winter.

[KarmaCruisers]

lol I literally waited a SOLID THIRTY MINUTES for them to resolves my issues..but they got it all taken care of.

my $250 freeplay turned into $467 (which they had to hand-pay me, lol)

then I moved over machines and put in $100 bill (that they gave me) and ran it up to $641..I’d of played more; but dinner ressie at 7pm, so had to run to Juneau MDR.

while waiting those 30 minutes; I got my first drink of the cruise! Blended margarita; it was gooood

[KarmaCruisers]

Sorry for the first pic..I ate the shrimp before I remembered to take a picture lol

i got the “garlic prawns” for my appetizer and a Cesar’s salad.

Grilled Mahi-Mahi for main..

the “garlic prawns” were just the shrimp cocktail with some garlic sauce on them with some tomato’s

[KarmaCruisers]

In booze news..the pool bar (by the grille on lido) had a bottle of Jack Daniels Single Barrel..I haven’t really seen woodford anywhere yet..but I would imagine they have it. (If not, I did see buffalo trace)

[KarmaCruisers]

Entree..

[KarmaCruisers]

Of course the classic desert, cheesecake

Following along. Will be on the Discovery (3rd time) in April.

Great night in the casino! What were you playing?

[CruzDayz]

Thanks for doing the live without your girl. I hope that you turned off Sentry to save your battery and don’t open your Tesla app until you get back. Have a great cruise and I hope you work things out.  😊

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!

You gotta risk it to win the biscuit! What a wild ride in the casino. Hopefully you found some good sleep with all of the motion. Maybe seas will settle more as you get further south. 
 

Equalizer 3? That’s pretty recent.

there's the spirit   " 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." don't go down without a fight.

Are you going to get the port tax/fee for Krista refunded ?

Hooray; guest services called and said I’m all squared away..oddly got a $10 discount..I got for my troubles? Haha

The "discount" is for the $10 charge to mail the medallion.

We’ll see if it does or not.

[KarmaCruisers]

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)

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)

[KarmaCruisers]

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

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

[New2cruise2022]

Glad to hear the sleep was good … despite the seas and the mattress. Maybe the gift shop will have an eye mask …

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

 

[KarmaCruisers]

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)
