Lady playing video poker behind our table hit for $20,000 though!

Had to be high limit.

After their last performance, we met the two ladies at Howl at the Moon.

That was cool, I’m sure!

I don’t know much about those machines.  But, I think it was called SUPER POKER.  
 

They made a big ordeal of bringing her cash to where she was playing (vs going to the cage).

 

They did bring in a cart and unhooked the machine and replaced it with another right after, though!

Interesting.

Auditing the machine probably.  May be a common practice to ensure she didn’t somehow cheat and that the machine isn’t broken

Someone asked for Haven Breakfast and Lunch menus…

Possibly, just never saw them remove the machine.

Thanks!  That was me.  😉

Since you have experienced both the Haven on NCL and the Retreat on Celebrity, do you have a favorite?

I usually bring a thick plastic bag (ziplock) that's just a tad smaller than the NCL paper bags and really PACK the dirty clothes in and then put that inside the paper bag.  You can fit a bit more without ripping the bag that way. 

I think we've fit a lot more.  lol my brother tends to bring a roll of duct tape, and we just wrap it around to make sure it doesn't rip.  We rolled the clothes up like we rolled to compress in the suitcase 😄

In Vegas a couple of years ago, we saw a guy win $100,000 on 100 play VP.   He had to wait to be paid until someone came from Nevada (?) gaming control to audit the machine.  It took over an hour or more. 

 

I would guess NCL CAS has some sort of similar audit process they do for pays above a certain amount before putting the machine back in play.

Beautiful night for Syd’s outdoor bar area…

[graphicguy]

Last specialty dinner (included perk)…WASABI.  Once again, great!

Misc pics I took today…

Thanks for taking the time to share, post and comment - just down $50 with the casino action, that's a win.  Got a full sea day ahead, still can get revenge and turn the corners 😄 

 

What's the action plan for tomorrow ?  When I see Fleetwood Mac ... Peter Frampton comes to mind, our times and music in those days, along with Billy Joel, etc.

No Problem.  Aside from the whole sssllllloooooww premium internet thing, I hope I’m able to expound on what to expect and what the cruise is like, hopefully help others.

 

I consider a $50 Casino loss not bad, except…I’ll probably give it another go today….LOL!

 

Today will just be atrium games, reading-either by the Waterfront or the Haven Pool.  MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET is on for tonight.  But, no pics allowed.  So,  it sure if I can sneak one in.

[graphicguy]

So far, I’ve written this all from my iPhone.  Being Ham fisted and all thumbs has been a challenge exacerbated by the slow internet.

 

So, will have more pics to post probably after I return home.

 

Moreover, I’ll post a review including comparisons to other cruises I’ve taken.  Will be sure to do a comparison to Celebrity’s Retreat, too!

Last night…the group did the entire Fleetwood Mac album- RUMOUS!  Outstanding, once again!

 

 

Oh that is very cool!...I'm always down for a Fleetwood Mac or Beatles Tribute. Although the second picture looks a little more like it could be Jethro Tull...Add them and Led Zeppelin and Wavy Gravy would be right:

Haven wine stash…

Looking forward to your review of Million Dollar Quartet. I saw it twice in Sacramento and once in Las Vegas. Fabulous!!!

[graphicguy]

Well…this is a first.  I have $236 left to spend on my account given my TA picked up the service charges.  Let me see if I can go buy something way overpriced at one of the stores.

I saw it 3-4 years ago.  It is great.  Looking forward to it!
