I will let her know. Shiney things do nothing  for me I'm just here for moral support 🤣.

Shiny things don't do anything for me either. But in my younger days I bought a lot of shiny things and traded them for warm things...

Hennessey price check.

 

 

Should be $5 cheaper in Amber Cove.

10 out of 30 on trivia. Looks like we don't know our one hit wonders. NO soas for the winner.

 

Im off to the gym while M tries her luck in the casino.

[jam19872016]

Casino drawing happening now for ultra guests. 

 

Call meeeeeeeeee.

I'm not a fan of the treadmills facing the side of the ship. You are walking a different direction than the ship is moving. Definitely can trigger motion sickness.

 

To solve this it helps to start out at the horizon, except your view out is blocked by the lifeboat. 

[jam19872016]

I may or may not have taken a nap. 

 

Tonight is dressy  night so time to throw on some long pants amd decide on some dinner.

[jam19872016]

Checked into cucina for dinner.

 

It isn't giving me a wait time. If I remember reading right, that should clear up after night 2 so after today wait times should show up.

 

Enjoying some adult beverages in the casino while I wait.

[jam19872016]

They can't win no matter what they do. They've done a great job separating the smoking and non smoking.

 

I read a complaint about the view from the smoking casino being of lifeboats while the non smoking side has the ocean.

 

I'm gonna throw in my complaint going the other way, the only hand shuffle blackjack game is in the smoking side. Easy enough to fix that issue not sure why they don't. 

 

The lifeboat thing, well not much can be done about that.

[jam19872016]

At cucina now.

 

I'm liking my table. It's a private booth.

 

Not terribly comfortable but at least there is some privacy.

If you are gambling while looking out the window you aren't doing it right...

[jam19872016]

At the casino for a few minutes. Comedy at 945 M wants to go to. It's 926 and M doesn't believe me when I tell her we need to be going there now if we want seats.

I was thinking it but didn't want to say it 😅

[jam19872016]

We didn't even try to make comedy 😅. M tells me to not let her gamble too much like I have any say at all lol.

[jam19872016]

Someone just hit a jackpot. $14125.

That is SO WEIRD. YES, that's exactly what happened to us, and it cleared up on day three.

Time for another casino drawing. Matilda the cash cow. I just want to play one drawing this week.

That's probably where I read that. It is weird if it clears up tomorrow. What could be the cause for it to not work for 48 hours?

[jam19872016]

Taking a break to see how the club is looking tonight.

Any luck with Matilda? Neither DW or I have ever gotten Matilda and only a few times things like "fill my bag", "hot seat" and whatever they call the thing where they have drawings every hour with unclaimed winnings carried over. 99% of the time neither of us selected.

[jam19872016]

Pizza line was manageable last night but it's only 2 let's see if i can get lucky again.

[jam19872016]

24 people ahead of me in line but took under 20 minutes. They are definitely improving the pizza line at least on Celebration.

 

Picadillo.

No such luck. They also have a nightly drawing at 1230 for 1k. They keep drawing until someone wins. I'd love to win that one.

 

I've been called a few times and it is always on these special event cruises so I'm hoping I can make something happen 🙏. 

[jam19872016]

Still don't care for the crust but that was pretty good pizza.
