Hello from (almost) sunny Aruba! Having a really good time on the ship. I love the balance of sea days vs port days. 9 nights is the perfect duration for me. Earlier this year I fulfilled my dream to hug a sloth and yesterday I checked off “swim with the dolphins”. It was an amazing day. The beach portion of our excursion was cancelled but we got to keep the dolphon encounter which is all I needed. A lot of people had their excursions cancelled due to overcast & windy conditions. Luckily no rain.
My nights and mornings are by myself . I’m with my parents and aunt, and they love to gamble at night and sleep in really late. I’m just not one to gamble and always have been early to rise. I feel like the machines know it’s my hand slapping the button (should I not be slapping it?) and it’s like “oh, it’s you? Yeah. We’re just going to take your money and very quickly at that”. And when my parents (both are pretty lucky) hit the machines, they’re like “oh, you’re CharmedPam’s parents? Spin away! It’s your lucky day!”. I’m talking the spin games, not video poker - so no skilll involved - and we both play the same amount per spin. I truly believe it all has to do with luck, and I ain’t got any.
