KarmaCruisers

Final $2000 worth of gift cards loaded..let’s go see if we can get lucky!

She wasn’t in to fancy things (and neither am I, tbh) We(I) live(d) super plain.

Boring me..ordered the same as the other SeaDay Brunch…Veggie Omelette with no cheese, Brunch Potatoes and the Fruit Cup. On another note; I think I feel better being on this cruise that I would feel at home, because almost everything at home reminds of me the “wife”. (Even though I’ve moved everything she left into one room and keep the door closed)…it’s still tough because we actually designed the home from the ground up. Which I’ve thought about moving, but the interest rates are pure trash right now (we’ve got 4% fixed). A lot of is too is the damn swimming pool..personally I wouldn’t have bought it but she wanted it..and I had the cash and of course I can’t say no. Ciest La Vie

Haha my Lead Server has got it maaaaaade.

Good morning! Look at the sun! (from Willy Wonka, lol) So I got up early, put in my 20 minute mile. Came back to the cabin and got cleaned up and I’m heading out for Sea Day Brunch (those brunch potatoes were gooood) Obligatory shirt of the day (I had this one custom screen printed because Club Cal-Neva is honestly the dumpiest/sketchiest casino in the world, haha..at least it was when I was going in the 00’s)

Most likely just tomfoolery. I’m sure my brain is playing tricks on me and she was just an NPC picking a different machine.

You pay your nickle; you take your chances.

??

As an aside earlier in the casino; I think a lady might have been following me/trying to talk to me. I THINK she was with a guy; but i swear, the first dragon link I was playing on one side of the casino; she sat down next to me, and I could almost feel her watching me play (I really don’t pay attention to the machine because I’m just mindlessly pressing the button until I get to 800 points for the day) so I get up and go to a complete different part of the casino, to play a different bank of dragon link’s..sure enough; this lady comes and sits next to me. This time though she asks if I had just played her machine (I did for a minute before she came over there) and then we made general chat about slots not paying out, etc. I don’t think I saw a ring on any finger, and she’s not UGLY, so I mean…if she exhibits the same behavior again tommorow (my last slot play day) [and I can confirm she’s not with a guy] I may just impregnate her.

I wonder how cheap this cruise actually was; with as many blue cards as I’m seeing?

LOL whaaat the? happy Cole’s show JUST LET OUT and the next show in 30 minutes the line is alresdy mobbed deep. forrrrrget that, ain’t NO comedian on CARNIVAL that funny (but I mean, lolz at the line) SO, to bed I go..at least to watch TV/youtubez for an hour

So here’s my other plates at Emeril’s (there was no way I could touch my phone while eating those saucy crab claws, haha) I ate all the claws and all the BBQ shrimp. I’d say I ate a quarter of the Jambalaya and a quarter of the red beans & rice (really didn’t expect the portions to be so big!) still gotta put in the steps again in the morning..but to help; I’ve been walking the stairs up and down. (Just walked five flights up after this feast; had to come back and brush my teeth and wash my hands real good) Heading out in just a few; to go see Happy Cole do an 18+ comedy show at 9:45. After that, it’s bedtime!

It was GOOD!

First course.. they SMELL amazing!

Hooray! I get to try Stone Crab! (It was on special for $28 at Emeril’s) I also ordered the BBQ Shrimp, Jambalaya, and Red Beans & Rice. PROBABLY too much food but it all sounded good and I definitely wanted to try the Stone Crab, and my server recommended the Jambalaya. (And I knew I wanted the BBQ shrimp, which I’ve had before)

Shyeah! so on tomorrow’s wash-out; I need to end up to 4000 points; at $2486 (I figure on my $200 freeplay I can play video poker and squeeze that out as $150 cash) Here’s to having some luck! Although if I do shitty; then I don’t think the juice is worth the squeeze and in the future I’ll just PURE wash it and collect the money and just use it to pay for the cruise (because all the “free” portion does is knock down the ACTUAL fare; which if I’d of pay cash probably wouldn’t have been more than $500 per person anyway (ie: the $1000 of my own money I will have lost) But we’ll see..it’s crazy how LITTLE 800 points per day is..even playing SLOW I think I did it in SIXTY MINUTES. (So quite literally 800 spins per hour rate)

JFC! Absolutely BRUTALIZED in the casino! my $2000 wash only returned $1477, my lowest result yet! so after 3200 spins; the machines that are supposed to be around 90% return; are returning 81%! I need a REAL good night on this next (last) play session! Not even just break-even I need to WIN! in other news; I stopped by the host desk and asked for some money for Emerils’, no problem, $60. (Which is more than enough for me!)

Worked for a while in my cabin Then at 5; came down and hade a Con Lechon sammich from the Deli

Lunch protein acquired i totally overlooked they were carving roast pork in the Lido Marketplace (it has an apple relish with it) also got some salsa because I didn’t know how the Apple relish would taste ohh and a couple more pieces of that tofu

We’re parked along side the Enchanted princess today; who will also follow us to Nassau. Im looking at my next few cruise cabins (Royal class princess ships; penthouse suites) From that I can tell a good size balcony

First round of lunch..still need to locate a “healthy” protein..

10000% book the HSH excursion if you don’t have anyone under 18 (or maybe it’s 21?) I booked blue lagoon based on multiple positive trips from @LifeWithFavor BUT if you’ve never been to Nassau; I’d recommend just spending the money to experience Atlantis, it’s literally like Disney-level themed craziness.

Haha I probably sweat off that big plate of chili lobster!

So I got off the ship to just walk around the port here at AmberCove..bad idea! its so humid and hot it’s stupid! I’ll make sure to NEVER come south of Grand Turk again in the summer! I literally will have to change clothes for tonight I sweat THAT much! (And all I did was walk through the little carnival port area!) I guess it’ll give me a chance to take advantage of that Platinum Laundry perk; as I’ll need this shirt and shorts again in the cruise. A photo of my sweat-ridden self in La Republica Dominicana, to prove I was here, haha.

Yup; they’re 200% automatons; they only move when their computer (ie: corporate) tells (read: allows) them to. i guess it’s better than living in a mud hut? EDIT: Sorry, modern day indentured servitude is a sore subject for me.
