We just returned from a gambling cruise on the Norwegian Gem. Five of us went. My newfound half-sister (long story on finding family that I detailed last year) was hoping to win the $100,000 Blackjack tournament, but she didn't win. She invited all of us to go.
Only four sisters went, me being the oldest, my full sister, a half sister (the gambler) and a stepsister plus Rick. We had three cabins. My full sister was supposed to be in the same inside cabin as my half sister and my stepsister. Since our father couldn't go, due to his wife's being ill, my full sister had an inside cabin to herself.
I don't understand the inside cabin thing because they were so small and dark. I hope your cabin has at least a window.
The cruise ended this past Sunday.
The cruise didn't go to Stirrup Cay, the one stop where my sister and Rick were planning to snorkel. The water was too rough to anchor. The eight-day cruise only stopped in Nassau, Grand Bahama, and Key West. Key West was beautiful. We could see Atlantis from the cruise ship. I definitely want to stay there sometime.
I suggest bringing board games. Funny that I had so much luggage compared to my sisters, but I brought several board games to play, and some card games as well, but the favorite was Ticket to Ride. All of us played that game many times. We enjoyed it every single game. We played mostly out on the deck by the outdoor eating area in the shade. People would walk by and say, "Ticket to Ride, great game!" Some even said they wished they'd brought the game. It's so fun. I am hoping to get a TUGger I am getting to know pretty well to play with us on Maui a few times. The four of us could enjoy it.
