Oasis of the Seas Live, March 10th - 17th. Ain't no better place, ain't no better time than here and now.

[A&L_Ont]

Now that we are settled for the day at CoCo Cay we can return to last nights activities. Insert Wayne’s World flashback scene. 
 

We decided to make our donation at the casino. We visited with our favourite bar waitress Heidi. You might remember her from our previous cruises, in July and March trips of 2023. 
 

 

 

We each put in $20, and it started slow. I had to put in another $20 when Lisa was up. Heidi was doing some steady pours. Hans even stuck his head in the side of the screen occasionally with his words of wisdom.  Lisa even hit some extra 5 and 10 spins a few times. 
 

I hit some 5 free spins and then 25. 

 

Heidi was impressed with Lisa’s spin. Look at those eyes of disbelief. 

 

When it was all said and done our 60 made 120 in under an hour.

Congratulations.  Heidi is one of my more favorite slot machines.  Unfortunately,  I'm not one of her favorite customers.  😕 

 

And for some strange reason,  I seem to drink a lot of beer when playing her.....or being played by her as the case may be. 😁

Flight has been delayed multiple times. Expected departure is now 1:30.  We are on the plane, but everyone needs to be loaded as well as luggage. 
 

It’s cutting our dinner reservations tight but hopefully we can still make it work. 

 

 

Have a great cruise!  Following along to get my cruise fix until we jump on our quick 5 day Independence from Miami next week.  Spring break cruise with two other families and four 16 yo girls!  BTW my daughter is over my shoulder asking if your son is going on our cruise🙄. Back off Samantha!

Let Samantha know that unfortunately we aren’t. Right now we are on Freedom next year for March break, if you need her encouragement for you to book a cruise. 😜

@Yorkvillain I looked for you on the pier this morning. You OK out there?

Might want to speak to Owen first. He texted me saying that he just booked the Indy for next week.

I’m on my way. This is a longer swim than I anticipated. 

[A&L_Ont]

So now that we are caught up on last night we are hunkered down for the day at CoCo Cay.
 

Way way back in September we booked a cabana at Chiil Island. The prices as we all know were just foolish. In the last 4 months we took advantage of 4 price drops which made it reasonable. 
 

We also watched the floating cabanas at the beach club the entire time chuckling. Well Sunday a week before we were to set sail we noticed a huge price drop and things got serious. They were now a few dollars more than what we originally booked Chill Island for. We cabana-upped. Look at us spending money in this case. 😁🤦‍♂️

 

Home for the day. We arrived at 8:30 and there are currently paid for empty cabanas beside us. It’s one thing to be “foolish” enough to spend the funds but the level of stupidity to sleep in just takes it to another level. 😜

 

 

Our shadows say hello. 

 

 

View while I type. I know you are all here with us in spirit.

Fishing spotting. Lemon shark, we’ve seen 5 already. We saw a sting ray but no photo. Thankfully the jelly fish are all gone. 
 

 

Needle fish. 

 

Grouper. 

 

Barracuda in this one.

Seems to me she is not concerned with what "we" are doing but with what "he" is doing.

It was a unicorn. There were 5 available and we booked it at 65% off what they were originally price at. Once there was one left it went back up again.  I feel for those that didn’t check the pricing frequently.

Actually I was posting about your slot machine win.

 

Nice job though checking prices regularly on the cabana.

We certainly do not have the luck of Sue.

Too lazy to go back and find/quote the post about the roving piano guy...but I find it to be truly annoying when he/she ? is in an elevator.  I've seen people RUSH to get into the elevator with the piano guy but you will see me running in the opposite direction.  I think they're a nuisance.🤪

Balloon is up. A first for us. 
 

Apps served. 

 

The fish seem to be like seagulls.

I'll bet they have learned that when people are present a lot of crumbs 'accidently' fall in the water.

 Curiously, are there any signs about feeding the fish.

I could totally see that. As for signs I don’t see any. As for signs, I bet the sharks took them down at night.

Been saving for our April cruise. 
 

But when I went to Walmart to buy some baking goods.  
 

As I was checking out with a real live cashier I kept hearing my name. 
 

Sue……

 

Sue……..

 

At first I thought it was the new BP pill I was started on and just shook it off. 
 

But it continued. 
 

Sue………

 

Sue………..

 

So now I grab my buggy and start to leave the check out aisle I see what is a new Ohio lottery machine. 
 

I wonder………

 

So I put $ 40 dollars in it and got 2 -$20 lottery scratch offs. 
 

when I got home the first one was a dud. Just a donation to the Ohio general fund.  


 

Then the second one. 
 

DING DING DING WE HAVE A WINNER. 

 

 

Yup won $1000.00

 

So currently ahead by $960. 
 

Added to cruise fund.
