I noticed that $50 bet and glad you hit on the first and only one. 👍🏻

Yeah I didn’t want anyone thinking that’s anywhere close to the norm 😂😂… that was my finale Hail Mary

[TxTeach79]

Older British man behind me in the elevator… “I could use some maintenance”…. Same, my friend 

 

 

[TxTeach79]

Oh no. Wait. Please don’t. WE’RE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEA 

 

[TxTeach79]

Just walked into the atrium at the end of “architecture trivia”…. The guy that won didn’t get a prize, but they did ask his name and where he’s from, which is a better prize than I got 

[TxTeach79]

I would, but I don’t wanna walk down there 

 

[TxTeach79]

Got a much better perch up here. (Edewa 🇮🇩, O’S)

 

[TxTeach79]

Never had this beer before. It’s from Poland 🇵🇱… pretty darn good! 
 

Beer selection has been wild. Almost all European beers on board minus Corona. Haven’t seen an American beer on board. 
 

This is the selection at O’Sheehan’s, they have way less than most other bars 

 

[TxTeach79]

Okay let’s play this NCL trivia together… at least until I get bored with it….

[TxTeach79]

First question

 

 

[TxTeach79]

[TxTeach79]

Okay, I’ll stop here. I guess I shouldn’t post spoilers 

[TxTeach79]

They’re asking questions about the country of Norway now anyway

Those tough questions and there’s not even a prize at the end? 🙄

[TxTeach79]

Yeah, lots of question about energy production and worker’s rights in Norway right now…. It’s “Norwegian” trivia all right

Every cruise I see my all time favorite machine in the casino, Top Dollar. Every cruise I don't play it because it's a $5 two coin max bet and $10 is WAY out of my norm. I struggle with a $2 bet.

Last cruise we got back late evening from an excursion and after eating were tired and were going to forego any casino time. But we decided half an hour. I had a $150 voucher from the day before, half an hour, so said screw it I'm finally gonna play my favorite game for once.

Put my voucher in and seriously panicked for a moment since I had never bet this high lol. Fourth spin in the machine tilted! Now I really panicked because I didn't want them to think I was trying to do something shady. 

Attendant lady comes and very politely fixes the machine and wishes me good luck and leaves. Three spins later I get the bonus and a jackpot. Attendant must not have gone far because she came back in seconds. She was really nice and congratulated me and patiently waited while I had to run back to the cabin to get my ID. I tipped her well for both waiting and fixing my machine for the win haha.

One of my many gambling rules is if I win over a thousand on a machine I will get off and not return to play that machine. It was really hard to do that with this being my favorite machine and all. But I stuck to my rule and stayed away for the rest of the trip.

Last day I was really thinking about going back to play it one last time and luckily the casino closed early and I was able to fight the urge and come home with my winnings.

That’s fantastic! People looooove Top Dollar! I’ve always been scared away by the bet size!

[TxTeach79]

B is stirring! Meeting me at O’Sheehan’s for more unnecessary food

[TxTeach79]

 

[TxTeach79]

Guest Services line is firing up 

 

 

[TxTeach79]

Hmm… we are hunting for a Diet Coke for B… atrium bar is out… we went to the casino, but it’s completely closed. Curious… no word of that, the freestyle daily lists bar and casino as open 8a-close, slots continuous 

[TxTeach79]

Maybe it’s Italian waters? I wouldn’t think so… we’re east of the heel of the boot…. (Btw, “Goddess of the Night” I believe is the former Costa Magica… Google that new hull paint job if you’re feeling wild)

Entertainment looking bleak at Stardust

Now you've done it. Created serious Deja Vu (not the Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young kind) with this picture.

 

When on the Jade in February, we parked our butts on the two end seats (by the green part of the bar) every night at 4:15 for 14 nights. Our favorite bartender would have our drinks (Cosmo with a lime and Bulliet on the rocks) practically waiting for us. Yes, I know it's a different ship, but the layouts are identical...especially in Bar City. Great memories...
