We dropped anchor about a quarter of a mile from Princess Cay and water shuttles ran from the ship to shore (and back) all day. I put on my swimsuit in anticipation of a day on the beach.
Never happened.
After breakfast (which featured the baker presenting her with a dozen of her favorite poppyseed muffins) Marlene informed me that the casino was open and she wanted to visit it before going ashore. She was getting close to the 2,000 casino points she needed to get a $200 freeplay gift. I wasn’t. But we both went down. As usual I lost $100 but this time it was particularly brutal – over 250 spins without a hint of a bonus. My fourth straight very bad day at the ship casino. I am now down $500.
After losing my limit I went up to the cabin to read. Then I went to lunch. Marlene finally left the casino around 2pm, too late to get to shore. I was miffed. We didn’t have a pleasant evening. She went to dinner with her son and daughter-in-law and I ate in the buffet. Then I read some more, finishing the book that I reported on yesterday.
Marlene went back to the casino after dinner and won again. She is up a lot now. So some good came from a bad day.
