I literally got three extra bowls of rice just to sop up the sauce!

And, you were doing so well.

From last week

But that sauce was like crack!

I know I did a lot of walking and moving today; so I can only hope it balances it out for eating such a glut.

 

On another note; the WiFi has been pretty good..but as we get closer to the DR..it’s just went to doodoo (like not even 1Mbps)

EDIT: Nevermind it’s back to 25Mbps

I just realized it was only one “extra” bowl of rice..but I truthfully didn’t need the first bowl! (I should have just ate the lobster meat)

Don’t wait for the casino host to approach you for a comp. Sometimes you just have to go ask for one. They can give comps to Emeril’s. You don’t ask, you don’t get!

I tried that once before and they looked like they had no idea what the words “comps” was…

[KarmaCruisers]

Gooood morning Amber Cove!

Got up and put my morning mile in.

Going to get cleaned up and peruse the breakfast buffet today..see if maybe they have any better selection of fruit. (Also I want to cut down on my breakfast size..I usually eat three boiled eggs [two just the whites], and half an orange)

so maybe if I find the fried eggs; I can just eat the whites of two then all of the third, and MAYBE also find an orange (that was the one good thing about princess Royal class..their buffet had soooo many different types of fresh fruits!)

We had a similar experience. No comps offered through day 5. DW approached Mihaela (casino host. Not sure of spelling), who said that all the restaurants were booked? Which didn’t make too much sense to us as they could’ve given us credit for Bonsai or Seafood Shack or Emeril’s or whatever. We just shrugged it off.

Then the next day the same casino host called us in the cabin to offer us dinner at Rudi’s. I told DW that see, maybe her asking, prompted the offer, but DW informed me that when she had asked the casino host about the comps, she never told her, her name.

Sweet. I was able to upgrade my Blue Lagoon excursion..I originally booked the “family” side because it was cheaper ($85) but then I realized I’d rather do the “Adults” side (which is $125) after doing the “Adults only” place in Grand Turk.

Also got my next $2000 batch of gift card loaded.

Headed up to Lido MarketPlace now

[KarmaCruisers]

Success! They have cut up oranges and grapefruits. I’ll take it!

I also got four eggs, instead of my usual three; because these are tiny eggs.

Yup; they’re 200% automatons; they only move when their computer (ie: corporate) tells (read: allows) them to.

 

i guess it’s better than living in a mud hut?

 

EDIT: Sorry, modern day indentured servitude is a sore subject for me.

So I got off the ship to just walk around the port here at AmberCove..bad idea!

its so humid and hot it’s stupid! 
I’ll make sure to NEVER come south of Grand Turk again in the summer! 
I literally will have to change clothes for tonight I sweat THAT much! (And all I did was walk through the little carnival port area!)

I guess it’ll give me a chance to take advantage of that Platinum Laundry perk; as I’ll need this shirt and shorts again in the cruise.

A photo of my sweat-ridden self in La Republica Dominicana, to prove I was here, haha.

I am enjoying your live review. We are on the same itinerary on October 6th.

10000% book the HSH excursion if you don’t have anyone under 18 (or maybe it’s 21?)

I booked blue lagoon based on multiple positive trips from @LifeWithFavor

BUT if you’ve never been to Nassau; I’d recommend just spending the money to experience Atlantis, it’s literally like Disney-level themed craziness.

[WhiteOptima]

Just an FYI we were in DR, St Maarten and St Thomas in November and it was 90!  Love it as today is cold and rainy in Ohio.

[KarmaCruisers]

First round of lunch..still need to locate a “healthy” protein..

[KarmaCruisers]

We’re parked along side the Enchanted princess today; who will also follow us to Nassau.

Im looking at my next few cruise cabins (Royal class princess ships; penthouse suites)

From that I can tell a good size balcony 

[KarmaCruisers]

Lunch protein acquired

i totally overlooked they were carving roast pork in the Lido Marketplace

(it has an apple relish with it)

also got some salsa because I didn’t know how the Apple relish would taste

ohh and a couple more pieces of that tofu

[KarmaCruisers]

Worked for a while in my cabin

Then at 5; came down and hade a Con Lechon sammich from the Deli

 

[KarmaCruisers]

JFC! Absolutely BRUTALIZED in the casino!

my $2000 wash only returned $1477, my lowest result yet!

so after 3200 spins; the machines that are supposed to be around 90% return; are returning 81%!
I need a REAL good night on this next (last) play session! Not even just break-even I need to WIN!

in other news; I stopped by the host desk and asked for some money for Emerils’, no problem, $60. (Which is more than enough for me!)
