This was mostly a casino day but it also included an elegant dinner and a show on the ship. We spent a LOT of time in the casino. I lost $55 (down 175). But that loss was in spite of three separate slot machine bonuses of over $200 each. So on three spins I won over $600. The rest of the time I had hundreds of spins that lost me nearly $700. Good thing I had those 3 bonuses. Marlene lost a lot early but recovered some of her losses late, so it wasn’t a horrible day. And she is still using the winnings from the previous week in Immokolee. So we aren’t broke yet.<\/p>\n\n\n

Elegant Night dinners aboard a ship are always special. I had a filet mignon\/short rib combo that was delicious. Marlene had a fish\/crabcake combo that she also liked very much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The show was a very nice song-and-dance medley by the ship troupe. It consisted of popular rock songs with a heavy emphasis on Queen songs. Very well done, very well staged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We finished the evening at a comedy show featuring Dean Austin<\/a>. It was raunchy and quite funny. Marlene wanted to sit up front so she could hear. I figured this would make us a target and it did, but I didn’t mind. Apparently I am a pimp because we weren’t married. Go ahead, sticks and stones…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
