Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Wife played the penny machine with a minimum of $.88/pull. Won $816. Envious, I went to the same machine and also won $816. We only play to hear the noise and see the graphics but these wins allowed us to buy some stuff in the ship's store that we normally wouldn't buy. We also got to lay out 16 one hundred dollar bills and laugh about the whole experience. We were offered drinks but we bought the Have It All so it was not important. We're four star and have three more coming up with one being 42 days and one 30 days. Love HAL.
  2. We're going on a 24 day Sea of Cortez trip 12/10/23 -1/3/24. San Diego to San Diego. Not scared at all. I am however carrying an AK-47, two machetes and grenades with me. 🙂 Truly, I used to be worried about Covid aboard ships (but never got it) and now I'm just going to travel.. Life's too short for me to live in fear.
  3. Dawn and I were on this cruise and wanted to definitely take home a penguin. When we arrived in Buenos Aires for a couple of days we spent the day in the hotel watching Argentina defeat France in the World Cup. Then flew to NY to see the Christmas Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall with the Rockettes. Got caught in the snowstorm, couldn't get out and the hotel gouged us for another night ($600) but it was Christmas and we couldn't find any place. So we sucked it in and filed a claim on our credit card and they reimbursed us. Alaska felt bad and they flew us back to SFO first class. And the cruise? We had a Signature suite which was very comfortable but our friends stayed in a Pinnacle suite which was nice but very much out of our financial comfort level. Looking forward to the April cruise from FLL to Montreal.
  4. FLL to Rome. Also, lowest cabin and couldn't resist the deposit. First time on Viking. Usually on Oceania but this TA sounded good.
