Just got an email from Emed. They have shipped a new 6 pack of tests to me. I was not expecting that and appreciate them working to make things right.

According to the shipping order it is a one pack replacement not a full 6 pack like they told me. I was not expecting 6 but it is strange they told me they were sending six when they are in fact only sending one 🤔

I'm beyond full but dinner was very good again.

 

For my mushroom I got the mushroom risotto.

 

 

For my main I got the scallops and lobster.

 

 

 

Apparently I look like I need help eating too much - they brought me three orders of lobster.

 

For dessert I got the crunchy chocolate bar and baked Alaska. I think this was a double order of the chocolate too. 

 

 

 

 

I enjoyed everything. The lobster i don't think was any better than the normal mdr lobster but the accompaniments were better. Still good though 👌.

Off to the casino!! If I may be so greedy i am hopeful for another good night.

[jam19872016]

Casino started off rough but picked up as the night went on. I was almost even again at one point. 

 

 

I ended the night up a little. I'm very happy with how the casino has treated me. I don't remember the last time I've heard so many people winning jackpots. 

 

Thats all for me tonight. One final sea day left on this amazing ship.

 

Good night everyone.

I have a cabin question. Are there any electrical outlets by the side of the bed? 

Thanks

How Smokey is the casino air?   We usually sail  Celebrity with non smoking casino but will be on Odyssey for 24 days in the spring. When we sailed Brilliance, the smoke in the Casino permeated the entire surrounding area.  Will say this was in Europe which seems to attract more smokers.

I like the lobster in the main dining room better than in the Coastal Kitchen.

Good morning everyone. Its my final day on Odyssey. Its been a great ship and I hate to think about what I will be doing in 24 hours.

 

For now, I'm thinking of hitting the casino until coastal kitchen opens for lunch. It depends on if M is up yet we were both up pretty late las night.

Nice. So many jackpots this cruise. None for me but I can't complain about the casino this trip. I have almost been back even a couple times which is very very rare this many days into a cruise especially since I've been playing pretty hard.

I liked it but I was surprised it wasn't better than it was since the filet was such an upgrade over even the chops filet. Oh well, I'm far from hungry at this point lol 😆

There is one standard outlet by the far side of the bed.

I'm not real sensitive to smoke but I have not noticed much smoke at all. I sat next to several last night so my lungs feel gross today but in the air no not really. My clothes don't smell smokey either that is how i usually tell,, I've been on ships before where just 5 minutes in the casino and I smell like an ashtray.

[jam19872016]

Nice. Just went to leave my room and I had mail under my sleeping magnet. It was a free cruise from casino Royale. I am not at 2500 points yet so that was unexpected.

[jam19872016]

Not off to a great start today in the casino. I can't complain though.

 

Lunch today in coastal kitchen was good. They have the same menu as day 2.

 

For my starter I ordered the cheese sticks and the fennel sausage flatbread.

 

 

 

For my main I ordered the wonderful crab crusted flounder again.

 

 

For dessert I had the white chocolate mousse.

Casino wants their money back. I'm in the room watching a movie for $12 which is way cheaper than the casino at this point.

Nice! We were only in there two nights this cruise and I generated enough for $300 off a future cruise. I already had a free cruise voucher from mlife in Vegas last month. Must be trying to entice people to come back. 

[jam19872016]

We had our final dinner in coastal kitchen tonight. It was once again all very good.

 

For my starter I ordered the tomato mozzarella.

 

 

For my main I ordered the duck breast and got my crab crusted flounder one last time.

 

 

 

For dessert I had the riccota cheesecake and bittersweet praline tart.

Our waitstaff was outstanding. The personal service and amazing attention to detail was truly top notch. We wanted to do something unique to show our gratitude so we made this.

 

[jam19872016]

Aftet dinner i got a couple souvenirs from the gift shop and went back to the casino. It was a pretty rough day but I am so pleased to be able to report a great finish to the week.

 

 

I gave no idea why some pictures rotate. I was up for the whole week and once I was back even I walked away.

 

Its been a long time since I've played as much as I did this week without a massive bill to show for it. This casino was hot!!!

I ended up breaking even for the week and a free interior. I'm not sure if I am going to use it as I have 17 cruises booked already. I just had a carnival cruise canceled but the replacement on royal would be for 2 days. Im not sure if two days would be worth it. Maybe. 

 

I'm very pleased to break even after playing enough to earn 2200 points for the week. This was a great casino week for me.

 

They are definitely filling their ships with gamblers, I'm sure you noticed the only place crowded was the casino lol. And a free interior usually requires 2500 I was only at 1900 when I got it.

[jam19872016]

Turning in early so that I may be a little less cranky at the crack of dawn.

 

Goodnight everyone.

I still haven't finished mine. I started with the turtle and changed to this one. I even worked on it in the Schooner Bar in between trivia.

If you’re a big video poker player, you should move to something like Double Double Bonus. And I can’t believe the amount of food this week 😂

[jam19872016]

Good morning. Its too early 😴 

 

I like this relaxed debarkation but its not good for M. We will probably be the last off the ship today lol.

 

I'm going to go drag her out of bed and try to grab some breakfast.
