KarmaCruisers

Going to bed at a decent hour this evening (midnight) going to get up at 9; to go to the morning events and stuff

YES. i played a ton tonight and am now at 52,xxx points; and still $4000 cash (had $5000 but blew $1000 on video poker in short order then said no more!) I totally forgot to post dinner pictures from Sabatini’s Frito Misto, Lobster Tortellini, and Osso Bucco

That “little table” is the top of the fridge..I’m sorry to say with two people in a cabin..the top of the fridge area as well as the “desk” are covered by other stuff.

Forgot my jackpot pic

Did some work stopped by the casino for maybe an hour before dinner (which I’m at now; rsvp was 7:30) hit another jackpot, $2800 this time. I’ve climbed back to $5300 out of $11,800. I’ve got 44,845 casino points now. the dude next to me that saw that said “ohh man you’re going to get a suite and like $3000 freeplay offer!” i responded “I doubt it; I did 7000 points and got ZERO CBS offer” which shocked him..he said he did 5600 and got a balcony and $250 CBS offer..I asked “but did you win?” He said “yeah but only like $2000.” I said “Ocean Casino uses oddball marketing tactics..also they want to entice WINNERS to come back, losers they alresdy got hooked” we’ll see though..like posted earlier, this may be my LAST cruise…hopefully not..but we’ll see..might have a chance to book that kind of baller offer…but may have to pay for the “girlfriend experience” to have someone come with me….we’ll just see what life has in store for me. id be real happy to win a couple more thousand to get the loss down under $3000. (What I assume the “value” of the next offer would be; if I was lucky)

Woke up today at 11:30…didn’t really want to get up, lol; but I know if I didn’t I’d miss lunch. forgot to get a picture of my plate..but it wasn’t anything spectacular (chicken, Filipino grilled vegetables, rice, and some pasta) i think I’m going to grab my laptop from the room and find a place to work on some API stuff…maybe Crooners or something. Id do it in the room but I want to get drinks at the same time haha; and maybe people watch.

This is tough if you’re not in a deluxe balcony or minisuite+…there’s no PLACE to keep this inside the room; so it HAS to go outside, unfortunately.

I meant as an older person; they should have experienced all life has to offer.

Sorry to hijack; but I was two tables away from Phil..yes; there is a steak on the menu. So if you don’t eat seafood you can at least eat something at Catch

Went to the casino after the illusionist… again, played too long, lolz it’s now 3am, and I’m going to bed. i hit a couple small handpays..ended the night with $3000 on my casino bank. I think at my high water mark I was at $4000. I fired a $500 bullet into video poker and a $500 bullet into dragon link… I am now at 40,xxx points; which is just MIND BLOWING for me. (Considering I know it’s $5 per point for video poker; so that’s probably $150,xxx coin-in on video poker I’ve done… Got another comp; for Sabatini’s tommorow night. here’s the jackpots

14oz ribeye with mashed taters and spergus It was cooked PERFECTLY medium rare. Very good

black & blue soup

Black Prawn appetizer

This is hilarious..the people next to me are asking the waiter about meats; like they’ve literally never had a steak..”what is a ribeye? What is a New York?” And these are old people..that’s insane to me.

I just realized no whwre in this thread do I have a picture of my slothly self..will post one after dinner selfie-style and let y’all see how I rock it. Im literally the only dude in crown grille right now in shorts and a t-shirt, lolz fat guys just don’t look good in suit type clothes. I always said for X amount of salary I’d dress up..turns out that’s false and there’s no amount haha

It’s so funny when I go places on the ship, and I say “just one”; the looks the staff give me. but then again, family is super important in countries not called USA…so they probably wonder what’s wrong with me.

Stopped in the casino before dinner reservation..saw my friends still playing dragon link; I played some video poker and was able to run up a profit on the session of $800..chipping away at it.

Yea; we’ll be on CST.

I took a nap after lunch (it hurts to stay up till 4am!) just milling around the room now. Got a comp to Crown Grille at 7:30. We’ll see; since I’m only a single, if I can get one more comp for Sabatini’s for tommorow night. (I don’t need one for Thursday as it’s lobster night in the MDR) After dinner tonight I definitely wanna go to the main theatre, to see the Illusionist. i MIGHT gamble after that (have $2500 in my casino bank from last night; after that I’m fully tapped at 10k)…I dunno though, because we’re moving clocks forward AGAIN tonight, so it’ll already be basically 11:00pm when the show gets out. I may go up to the Retreat tommorow after lunch; since it should be pretty empty since it’s a Port Day.

Yea, chili garlic sauce; often called “sambal” in Asian countries. I’m just glad they’ve got it onboard now!

I will agree; Phil’s Dover sole looked damn good! 😄

I concur; I’m in E105 right now. all the “nose of the ship” obstructed balconies are BIG balconies with no ACTUAL obstructions.

I also made a bowl of ramen once I found the sriracha! (Poor man’s ramen which I didn’t realize they have out every day actually; in front of the main food section there’s a small area with chicken broth, then all the ingredients for ramen…noodles, chicken, veggies)

Lunch..

They must have bought Sriracha!
