    Gosh why are people so cheap ?
    Woo Hoo, gotta love a hand pay!! Good timing too as I imagine you’re towards the end of your cruise and you will get to take the wins home!!! I don’t understand why people wouldn’t tip on a hand pay. It’s fun to share!!

    Andrea, I am so happy for you on the hand pay! Yay! You so deserve it and glad you put it in the safe! Hope the waters are calm for you tomorrow! Surf & Turf sounds amazing - you said the food is good right? All in all a good cruise!

    Yay for the hand pay.... and you're tipping properly.... some folks just don't get it about treating others!
    A wise man never knows all......only fools know everything!

    As far a cruises go it is good.
    The casino was kind to me once.
    I believe that the non tippers are not ignorant, but cheap.

    Since 1980, and throughout the many changes, we still love going downtown in Oranjestad.

    Good morning Andrea,

    I'm so pleased that your cruise is going well. Sounds like the food is great and even the casino showed you some kindness.

    You mentioned that Grand Turk was jam-packed. You and Paul are such seasoned cruisers that you just know when to enjoy a place or when it's best to just turn around, get back on board and enjoy a much less crowded ship.

    Is this a day at sea?

    Last thing; is the ship pretty much full on this cruise? Just thought I'd ask.

    Continued smooth and happy sailing.

    That's fabulous Andrea, a hand pay that makes its way to the safe and great food too.
    In my eyes another good thing is playing Mexican train dominos... love that.
    Hope the seas are calm and smooth for your trip.

    So the handpay still sits in the safe.
    we just came in from a show. No casino tonight.
    Today we played craps for an hour in the afternoon…. Then napped!!

    We’ll use the winnings towards our windows!
    The win came at a good time.
    Paul got another casino offer and he signed us up.
    On the Pride out of Tampa 6 days and I think it is to W Caribbean.
    Costing us more to have the dog cared
    for than the cruises.

    Lunches and dinners this week…. Sushi for lunch most days.
    surf and turf for 3 dinners and tonight I had salad and shrimp.
    I am tired of eating. I told Paul that supper on Saturday night is cheerios.

    For our forum members and readers!
    Stay warm and well.

    I forgot to mention that yesterday I awoke with an earache and some sinus pain and a fever for part of today. I am taking Advil and some leftover augmenten from last ear infection!
    Trying my best to ignore it.
