I’m actually pretty shocked..we’ve sailed allll day with no land or any other ship in sight!

[KarmaCruisers]

Came back to the room to brush my teeth and relax a bit before the 3pm “high limit” slot pull.

found my first towel animal of the trip.

i met my attendant yesterday right away; Putra; he’s a nice guy

He gave me a strange look when I said it’s just me in the room.(just like my first solo cruise in February. Yes; I have no friends or family; it’s just me. I could think of no better value when I’m “forced” to WFH this week..than being on a “free” cruise. Like I said earlier; it means I don’t have to cook or wash dishes for a week!)

[KarmaCruisers]

So the “high limit” pull was a bust..only the person running (and me) showed up…apparently one of two things

1.) $100 to put into a group pull is tooooooo much maaaaney.

 2.) After Day1, people lose their MINDS and can’t remember they signed up. (Good ole booze brain)

 

I’m having a quick snack, since Teppenyaki isn’t till 7:15

[KarmaCruisers]

Took me a little nap for a couple hours.

Time to get up and around and get some damn teppenyaki!

I think after dinner (my ressie is at 7:15) I’ll go to some comedy in the Punchliner at 8:45, then see the late-night Love & Marriage show at 9:45.

Then it’ll be time for siesta, to wake up and go to Grand Turk!

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)

 

The casino knows that trick. You usually have to still play some.

 

You can go over $2000/day in gift cards, but Guest Services has to contact Miami. Usually just a formality and within hours it is approved.

Sorry, you’re right

50cents per $1000 🙂

Shirt of choice for the day (I’ll do this in the mornings going forward)

I think this is the first time I didn’t order the filet at Teppenyaki; I instead did Lobster and Black Cod (trying to eat less of the red meat)

lol; all the rest of the people at my “table” are couples (and a father/daughter)

they’re probably like “who is this butthole; in that he’s a loner”

[KarmaCruisers]

Haha I actually just noticed the other two “tables” are active and talking..mine is DEAD silent..I think I’m honestly making everyone uncomfortable; because NO one is talking to their partner..
I think it’s my shifty eyes

Either that or they are all fighting. Put on your shades and enjoy your evening

I guarantee you're the only one thinking anything of the fact that you're alone.

I know. I’m definitely on the spectrum so it’s just my odd ass brain to think something like that.

[KarmaCruisers]

Foooood

I also slammed an old fashioned in the interim..caught a little buzz.

Just be you and enjoy your time and everyone else will pick up on that vibe.  When you download your $2k to a machine do you just play that one machine 800 pulls at $2.5 per pull or do you move around?  Once you hit 800 pulls do you cash out and then get your money from the casino kiosk?  I am really curious how this works out for you.  Good Luck!

I give off a weird vibe; because I’m socially ackward.

 

i guess it honestly makes no difference; but so far I’ve bounced around machines.

yes; I actually “fast play” until I see 800 points on the screen; then cash out..walk over to the kiosk and cash out whatever I have; although going forward I don’t think I’ll “fast play”; because I’m 99% sure ToD is also taken into consideration (Time On Device)

but I just HATE that my clothes smell like an absolute ashtray after being in the casino.

[KarmaCruisers]

Got a seat for the Late-Night Love&Marriage show; always guranteed to be a riot.

[KarmaCruisers]

Forgot the damn picture 

[KarmaCruisers]

Holy shoot! I just saw Magneto (Ian McLellan) from across the theatre! He told me he’s ok with me being here.

A programmer from Central California. If you work with an Agricultural Software I've probably cussed you for the reason on your shirt. 😆😆

No; I work in Silicon Valley; only live in farm valley.

[KarmaCruisers]

Love&Marriage was “meh”.

Time for siesta..gotta wake up at 6:45am so I can get breakfast before heading out to HomeSweetHome excursion at 9. (Maaan; I wake up at 6am to fight a 150-minute commute…waking up at 6:45 is for the birds!)

[Stallion]

If I go solo on a cruise, I often notice how miserable the couples seem to be
