Shorts are all bought new for this trip. I bought one size too big but they are barely fitting. Long pants could be a problem 😬 Funny. We were packing for debarkation one trip. I said I can't get this suitcase zipped. DH, who never hears me, says wear the bathrobe home 😆 Oddly, 90% of cruises I lose weight. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petersonfcu Posted September 21, 2023 #644 Share Posted September 21, 2023 John Just noticed your blog. Very nice! Thanks for doing it. As a casino player, I have a very specific casino-related question for you. Could you take a picture of the Fun21 Blackjack table on each of your ships and post the picture? Should be easy to do, particularly when the casino tables are closed. I play Fun 21 mostly because it is often the only blackjack game still dealt by hand as opposed to the machines. I don't like the continuous shuffle machines, but many Carnival ships are now dealing even Fun21 from the machine. So with your picture I can tell if these ships are using the machines or not. (If you don't want to post a photo, please just post about whether the dealers are using those black boxes to deal the cards from). And like you I am going on my first ever Cunard cruise next spring, and Cunard also has Fun 21 tables . . . so please check out the same machine info when you are on the Cunard ship. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As my yoga teacher says, show yourself some grace.💝 Apart from being responsible ref eating, you're on vacation, you're exercising, and you know you'll get back on track when home. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are continuous shuffle machines. A shoe is used when the dealer shuffles. I'm more of a slots guy myself but many people who play BJ prefer the hand shuffle but those are being phased out as evidenced by these pictures. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
