Another day, another cay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And another cay that we didn’t see. This time we both put on our swimsuits in anticipation of going ashore. But we got a late start and by the time we finished breakfast some people were coming back on board, saying that “there is nothing there.” Just beach. We decided to just remain on the half-empty ship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course that meant we spent extra time in the casino (which remained open because it was a private island). I should have gone ashore. I broke even for the first couple of hours but went downhill rapidly after that. I lost $320 – my worst day ever in a casino. Down $800 for the cruise (but only $500 in real money due to the $300 in ship credits that I received). Marlene continued to win. As a couple we are still up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We wandered about the ship a bit before dinner and took some photos. And had a woman take a few of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were invited to dine (courtesy of Tim and Rachel) in Cucina del Capitano<\/a> – the ship’s specialty Italian restaurant. I chose the “tomahawk pork chop” which turned out to be one of the finest meals I have ever had. Marlene had a shrimp dish which was also very good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A bad day at the casino but a good day at the restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marlene sat for some photos after dinner. And we danced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
