A Cruise
to the Western Caribbean
It has been a while since we investigated a cruise
getaway. This year a cruise to the Western Caribbean was
the getaway of choice. Rather than start at the whole
beginning of the trip I will move forward the arriving
at the cruise line with great expectations of a relaxing
vacation. The inevitable line to get to a counter and
tickets was compounded by being served by someone who
must have been in his 80's. It came as little surprise
that he has computer "issues" and there went over an
hour of my life waiting got something that the people
around us appeared to get resolved in 10 minutes. Oh
well, smile and continue. There were different choices
than our last cruise as regarding moving ones bags. The
cruise line allowed us to take our bags with us rather
than leave them at the curb and hope and pray they
arrived at our cabin eventually. We took this choice
naturally and indeed appeared to be the quickest way to
get unpacked and ready to enjoy.
The last few
cruises appeared to indicate that if one was a gambler
then by far the best time to have the best time of
gaining ground on the slot machines was the first night.
On our last cruise one could here bells ringing all over
and the jingle of dollar coins flying out of the
machines like machine guns being fired around the
casino. This time it all seemed quite quiet. One could
almost hear the cards clicking on the tables. Ok, let's
see if the system still works. Looking at the variety of
slot machines I noticed to my horror they had all been
updated. I couldn't find one with a way to hold lines
while the others rotated. In short all reels appeared to
run together. No talent could be used to gain an
advantage. This was a war whereby the opposition (the
darned machine) would pay "when it decided" rather than
allow me a chance of inputting a potential personal
advantage. The choices ultimately were only the amount I
would be able to bet or in my case lose. Decision made
to not return more
