Cruise Question of the Day

[cruisetarp]

A few years ago we were packing up on our last evening when I found a $1 token in one of my bags. Now you know I couldn't take that token home so I went down to the Casino, went to the first $1 machine and put in the token. I won $5. I then played 3 of those coins and hit for $600 - I was so excited - after they paid me off I still had 2 coins left so I played them (same machine, very next pull) and won $300 - I was gone from the room for less than 10 minutes and when I went back into the cabin I threw $900 all over the place. Jim was shocked as I usually lose, once in awhile break even but rarely win. It sure was fun - I still have the T-shirt I won along with the money

We don't gamble, but I worked with a lady that won $3000 on one cruise. That would be nice.

Wow MaryLou; I'm so glad you found that lucky token!

Now I know to gamble on the first night AND the last night. Thanks!

Howard, my goal on one of these cruises is to win enough to pay for the cruise.

I did win $50K playing the Powerball, once; so I'm not without luck. I just need to learn how to channel it better.

Wow! Great win Kevin. Your new avatar is great!

Yeah Kevin, just to pay for the cruise would be good enough for us. Maybe I should start to play the lottery also. I should get the numbers you play.

We've only been in a casino once (out of about a dozen cruises). Joan decided to play blackjack until she won or lost $25, It took about 10 minutes to lose $25, and that was it for our casino experience.

I've never gambled a penny at a casino, whether on land or on a ship. I might add that I've had about 10 business trips to a hotel with a casino (and two tryouts for Jeopardy in a casino, but never got on the show), but have never been tempted to bet.

We usually do all right in the casinos on board. One cruise we came ahead about $500.

But I did stike it rich in Vegas once - $10,000 on my first dollar in - I just about fainted LOL.

But since then we have given it all back - probably several time over.

Howie and I both like to gamble but we have a limit........I actually saw someone put $1000 on Red at roulette yesterday! YIKES! Definately too steep for me.

Nice to have you back Rose!
