Turned a small profit today. Still looking at four digit losses for the week with one more day to go. Maybe I can squeeze out one more day of profits. I'm not going to reach Utopia, but I can see Liberty at least. Needless to say, I could have paid for that cruise and come out ahead. I could have paid for Utopia and come out ahead for that matter 😅 They have a different menu at the pub than what is in the app. Not a big beer or gin drinker so their menu in the app does not appeal but they have some nice looking cocktails on the physical list I may have to sample them next cruise. The one I ordered was very good. I'm going to lay down and watch some videos till I pass out. We lose an hour tonight so that we will be back on EST but that means one less hour of sleep tonight. Good night everyone see you all tomorrow for our sea day on the way back home!

Thank you.

Better start drinking.

Maybe I will go see Darla later. Someone just came up to me and asked if I was going. Maybe she has my song? Can I do a sing along bar sober?

Enjoy it looks nice from what I've seen 😀. Hopefully it will be my turn one day.

When i looked up, there were a bank of 3 all empty. Within seconds two were taken so i moved over even though I was going to wait. It was doing OK but I was going to move on because the vibe was off. Ton of people hovering to play. Making comments like I'm going to play as soon as someone leaves. Oh she was about to leave she changed her mind. I stuck it out anyway and hit the maxi. You kind of always expect to hit the mini so when the third maxi flipped it was a surprise. Not much was happening and the vultures comments turned to i know these machines they aren't going to hit again. Finally I left. Despite their comments, they quickly sat down when I got up. Long, long way to go before I'm in the black but it's a nice hit. I told myself I wasn't going to look at the machine I left but I heard some cheering so I had to. She is sitting there cheering on her "granny" at the next machine with absolutely nothing loaded on the one she is sitting at. She probably saved me some money because it did stop hitting.

Thank you!!!! Playing nickles hit the maxi for $297.30.

Weird. Never heard of it. I looked up and I am staring at it. Gonna try it.

Here is something I didn't think still existed.

Thanks! Me too!!

I am in a bit of a food coma right now. I hate to do it because I know I won't be going out tomorrow but I think tonight is going to be a chill night. I've wanted to take a night a just chill but by evening I have bounced back each night. After that meal I am not bouncing tonight. Maybe rolling. I am going to stop in the casino after I digest for a few more minutes and see how she is treating me but if she gives me the cold shoulder I am going to retreat back into the room for the night.

The meatball was fantastic again. The Stromboli is my other favorite starter here. Very tasty. Meat and cheese wrapped up inside pockets of dough. Yummy. It was a lot of food. By the time the chicken came, I was in trouble but soldiered on. The chicken was extremly juicy with a nice crunch from the breading and loads of ooey gooey delicious cheese on top. The pasta could have used a little more sauce, but I am a heavy sauce kind of guy and I am sure for most people it was more than enough. For dessert I went with the chocolate ravioli. This is not the best dessert but I do enjoy it. Fried chocolate raviolis filled with melted chocolate, it really is hard to go wrong 😄 I enjoyed my meal although I can't seem to get the food portions right, I definitely over ate tonight.

Interesting. I understand that is normal in some cultures but would not expect that in the Caribbean. Outside of Orient Beach.

I want to thank everyone who came back early so we could depart early 😀 Bar service is back. Lemon drop martini. Bread is back up to three pieces.

Tonight is second dressy night AKA lobster night.

Getting ready now for dinner at Giovanni's. I didn't quite finish talking about last night's dinner. Something in those espresso martini's made it hard to type long sentences 🥴 I was considering the pork chop when I sat down. It is one of my favorites when it is a good cut of meat. Sometimes it is too tough to enjoy. The table next to me was at the end of their meal and recommended it so I took the opportunity to ask them if it was tender tonight. They said it was so I took them at the word and ordered it. The sucker was indeed very tender. Fork tender. Ok, I used the knife to hold it in place, but did not need to use it to cut into it. I did not know a pork chop could be that fall apart tender. I love the jerk seasoning they use on it. Be warned, this is a spicy dish that is actually spicy so if you are sensitive to heat, this is not something I would recommend. For dessert I got the brownie and I paired it with some vanilla ice cream. It was a little small and I was tempted to double dessert it again, but I hold tough and I am glad I did because by the time I finished and my stomach registered all the pork chop, I was uncomfortably full. The brownie was very good. Rich and moist and I don't think it even needed the ice cream, but I'm glad I had it anyway 😄 Another great meal and fantastic service. The food in here was a little rocky to start but I have been pleased as the week has gone on. It's been quite good overall.

Ok, there was ANOTHER nude child. This felt European as she was with her family and changing out of her swim trunks. Cultural difference I guess but quite unexpected to be walking by and that happen in the middle of the pool deck especially after yesterday.
