It’s crazy..but I think I hear them pulling up the anchor! (What sounds/feels like a huge chain going clunk-clunk-clunk)

Platinum/Elite lounge goodies i got a shrimp cocktail, sushi, and the pot stickers. my drink is the “Deep Sea”..very good this will hold me over until Catch, tonight at 7:30

So; I hopped on a tender around 1:45, and headed over to Cabo in search of Deodorant..now; inside the “port” area, there is actually a “pharmacy” that sells a lot of stuff; but all they had was spray deodorant (which I don’t like). so I asked if he had any other ideas who sold stick..and he said maybe OXXO; which was out behind Senor Frogs..on the way though; I passed a LARGE souvenir shop that said “pharmacy” also..I was in luck! Deodorant acquired! For anyone else that needs a good selection of “sundries” products quick at Cabo..definitely recommend this place. Literally across from Senor Frogs. back in the room now; going to watch Bladerunner. (I must comment on the princess movie selection; I can SAFELY say, it’s back to its pre-pandemic awesomeness! A LOT of cool movies to watch..classics and ones that are brand new too!)

Went for round two..that curry is good!

lunch.. the beef is SUPER tender (he had just pulled it out of the roaster) the “slop” is Malaysian pork curry

Gotta get up and get cleaned up. Going to hit the lunch buffet (this time I’ll go to the BACK to see the better options! Haha) Afterwards, I may tender into Cabo to see if I can get some deodorant. the weather outside looks absolutely gorgeous..hope to see whales off my balcony.

Yes; but not in anything close to HD; “360p” was the best I could get without severe chop.(buffering). An iPad screen is about the biggest you’re going to go without it getting grainy. sad to..because before the pandemic; 100% the WiFi was better…but then again..people were “scared” to be without it. (Just my opinion)

lol I turned this… into this (yes they gave me an extra order of fries I didn’t actually order; also the chicken tenders were mostly horrible)

Well I’d like to say I was at least even…and I did have a run where I built my player bank up to $3500…but alas now I’m stuck $8000. still more time to go; I’m up to 21,000 points now (which is a record high for me; sadly not a record loss…yet) Back in the room now..ordered a big load of room service (last ate at 7). Going to get my grub on and watch either a movie or YouTube. Probably get up around 11, so I can go to the lunch buffet and see what’s good. Then mill around the ship, maybe watch another movie or just sleeeep

Pecan turtle cheesecake dessert; it was gooood

Main course (beef tenderloin) was GREAT! Asked for it medium-rare and it was exactly that. I probably could have ate MORE of it..but then I’d just be miserable haha

Yes; if you intend to get WiFi..then it’s only the cost of two cocktails each day..very easy to do that

Yeah and I haven’t even used my “casual dining” credits..I’ll probably use those at Gigi’s and Sushi on the last two sea days.

Also shout out to @sonomaphil my homie from our “cell block”, for the shoutout during the slot pull. (when you walked past me in the hall earlier I THOUGHT it was you)

Second course, the always good classic fettuccine Alfredo

Appetizer (lump crab cake) and drink (woodford old fashioned) Both were excellent

Haha I think my steward feels sorry for me. i went up to change into a collared shirt and pants and I saw him and exchanged pleasantries..then when I came out after changing he was still there and he asked me “you’re not here with any family or friends?” I said; “nope; just me” and he’s like…ohhh…… it’s definitely better than sitting in a big empty house and having to cook for myself. plus, gambling is 100% the lonely man’s game..always people ready with either a celebration or sob story..

damn; played on slots from like 2:30-6:00; played at the bank of dragons links..dudes playing with me were having a good ole time..one dude was betting pretty healthy..($25-$50 a spin) hit a $5000 ball..then later on a $10,000 ball!!! needles to say he’s bankrupting the casino! He’s got 38,000 points I myself got absolutely wrecked and am now down $5500; but we ain’t dead yet! Had a few heartbreaks today with hands that COULD have been monsters (dealt four to a Royal with multipliers; any ONE would have been $4k) going to get dressed and head for first sea day (formal) dinner. afyer dinner probably more casino..if my two buddies are back on dragon link. (Or I can get one of the two GOOD poker machines)

Yea; buffet served up fresh grab & go. honesstly not as good as other Royal class ramen nights

Damn; these dragon links are going off: just watched someone pop a $5000 ball. Of course; homies got like 20,000 slot points already; so he’s definitely swinging hard. indropped a quick $300 at one of the four multigame vp’s (there’s a COLD pair that has always been open, then there’s a HOT pair which people are playing KENO! on) I finally was able to score a dragon link; but some rando is saying he doesn’t know how to use slots on the ship so he “lost” his $100 bill in it (probably put cash in then walked away and it went on the next players medallion)

Better picture of my “obstructed balcony”. i think like @sonomaphilsaid; if you absolutely don’t get seasick; this is the “cheat code” room, if you REALLY want a premium balcony and don’t want to pay big bucks As you can see this is EASILY 10’x10’.

For cripes sake! they don’t sell deodorant! looks like I’m getting off the ship tommorow to get some damn deodorant so I don’t smell like a hog.

I asked in Tagalog even..they said they literally don’t have any kind of bottled sambal in the buffet or galley at all.

And damnit! They had ramen!! but DOUBLE damnit…HOW!? They have NO sort of chili sauce if any kind! (No chili garlic, no sriracha, no sambol..nothing!) I had to resort to using Tabasco (which is crazy high in sodium unfortunately)

Thanks, lol
