Three more days at sea. Day 10 started with me waking with no Marlene in the room – she had spent all night in the casino, losing lots of money. That early pool of nearly $2,000 in winnings is a distant memory. When she finally appeared, around 8am, we went to breakfast and let the cabin attendant clean the room. The rest of the day was spent eating (lunch and dinner both in the buffet), playing cards (I won 1 game to Marlene’s 5) and the casino. No show. And no dancing – she is still walking very gingerly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 11 featured a “Diamond luncheon” to which Marlene was invited and I went as her guest. A good meal, but not as good as the one on the Luminosa<\/em>. The rest of the day was good for me, both in the casino where I won nearly $200 and at cards where I won 3 games to Marlene’s 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cards turnaround continued on Day 12 when I won all 4 games (which really upset Marlene – she had become accustomed to winning). I held my own in the casino and am down just $270 after 12 days. We both attended the Diamond and Platinum party (I boast Platinum status which barely gets me in the top 50% of all passengers on the Miracle<\/em>) which is just an invitation to free drinks in the theater. We had a lively dinner with 5 others and we all took turns griping about politics in America. Then we attended the last full theater production, “80s to the Max.” We have seen this show before but the production quality this time seemed much improved. A very nice show by a cast with very good voices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
