Rare KarmaCruisers Posted February 6 Author #103 Share Posted February 6 (edited) I also made a bowl of ramen once I found the sriracha! (Poor man’s ramen which I didn’t realize they have out every day actually; in front of the main food section there’s a small area with chicken broth, then all the ingredients for ramen…noodles, chicken, veggies) Edited February 6 by KarmaCruisers 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare KarmaCruisers Posted February 7 Author #107 Share Posted February 7 I took a nap after lunch (it hurts to stay up till 4am!) just milling around the room now. Got a comp to Crown Grille at 7:30. We’ll see; since I’m only a single, if I can get one more comp for Sabatini’s for tommorow night. (I don’t need one for Thursday as it’s lobster night in the MDR) After dinner tonight I definitely wanna go to the main theatre, to see the Illusionist. i MIGHT gamble after that (have $2500 in my casino bank from last night; after that I’m fully tapped at 10k)…I dunno though, because we’re moving clocks forward AGAIN tonight, so it’ll already be basically 11:00pm when the show gets out. I may go up to the Retreat tommorow after lunch; since it should be pretty empty since it’s a Port Day. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the clocks moving forward an hour so you’ll be on the same time as the port stop (Puerto Vallarta)? Just wondering for planning purposes for an independent group tour on a future cruise.

Rare KarmaCruisers Posted February 7 Author #111 Share Posted February 7 It’s so funny when I go places on the ship, and I say “just one”; the looks the staff give me. but then again, family is super important in countries not called USA…so they probably wonder what’s wrong with me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare KarmaCruisers Posted February 7 Author #118 Share Posted February 7 Went to the casino after the illusionist… again, played too long, lolz it’s now 3am, and I’m going to bed. i hit a couple small handpays..ended the night with $3000 on my casino bank. I think at my high water mark I was at $4000. I fired a $500 bullet into video poker and a $500 bullet into dragon link… I am now at 40,xxx points; which is just MIND BLOWING for me. (Considering I know it’s $5 per point for video poker; so that’s probably $150,xxx coin-in on video poker I’ve done… Got another comp; for Sabatini’s tommorow night. here’s the jackpots 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The word Sambal translates closely meaning a relish, which different varieties might have citrus, shrimp paste and other ground ingredients. The West by comparison is very limited in chili based sauces. Chili garlic sauce is just that. Sriracha is a style of sauce of sauce originating in Thailand. Funny, you commented on people not knowing different steak cuts. Someone from SE Asia might have said the same about your knowledge of condiments. Enjoying your posts. Hope you're having fun! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely that after the past four decades of being a vegetarian, they've decided that times runnin' short and to live it up 😄 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare KarmaCruisers Posted February 7 Author #122 Share Posted February 7 Woke up today at 11:30…didn’t really want to get up, lol; but I know if I didn’t I’d miss lunch. forgot to get a picture of my plate..but it wasn’t anything spectacular (chicken, Filipino grilled vegetables, rice, and some pasta) i think I’m going to grab my laptop from the room and find a place to work on some API stuff…maybe Crooners or something. Id do it in the room but I want to get drinks at the same time haha; and maybe people watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare KarmaCruisers Posted February 8 Author #124 Share Posted February 8 Did some work stopped by the casino for maybe an hour before dinner (which I’m at now; rsvp was 7:30) hit another jackpot, $2800 this time. I’ve climbed back to $5300 out of $11,800. I’ve got 44,845 casino points now. the dude next to me that saw that said “ohh man you’re going to get a suite and like $3000 freeplay offer!” i responded “I doubt it; I did 7000 points and got ZERO CBS offer” which shocked him..he said he did 5600 and got a balcony and $250 CBS offer..I asked “but did you win?” He said “yeah but only like $2000.” I said “Ocean Casino uses oddball marketing tactics..also they want to entice WINNERS to come back, losers they alresdy got hooked” we’ll see though..like posted earlier, this may be my LAST cruise…hopefully not..but we’ll see..might have a chance to book that kind of baller offer…but may have to pay for the “girlfriend experience” to have someone come with me….we’ll just see what life has in store for me. id be real happy to win a couple more thousand to get the loss down under $3000. (What I assume the “value” of the next offer would be; if I was lucky) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
