Our family went on a short cruise from Wed midnite to Fri afternoon - it is less than 48 hours and we are back home 'so soon'. This is not the first time for me. Surprising, all went well ...probably the SS Virgo is so established and stable... no seasick whatsoever. Most of us will probably know that some (or most) adults go on cruise ... for the casino and food is free!...For me...I feel 'strange' if I don't pay a visit to the casino since I have spent over $1.6K for a Balcony cabin for 4. So, after the kids were asleep, I sneaked out to visit the casino (they called it Oasis) to look see....interesting ...can see loads of adults of all races and nationalities gambling away on table games and jackpot machines....I tot if I don't play, how to claim that I have been on a cruise ...haha...well, tried my luck (prepared to dump some $$) and expected to lose. Was trying to experience the mindset of gamblers there...they started playing, they may win the first few games...as they play again, they lose back...then they win a bit, and then lose more ...and then, guess what, they lose all their chips and then they 'change for more' and the loss continued... I remembered 2 aunties, one in red and one in white blouse... they were the last I played alongside at a poker table at abt 1.30am when I left ... and when I returned at 8.45am...they are there still playing...wonder if they had gone back to cabin to rest or they played thru the nite...sometimes, I wonder - if that is the life meant for these elderly who are loaded??
As for the kids, they weren't adventurous and thus, most of the time they prefer to be in the cabin watching TV ... sigh ..... and they claimed they 'like holiday and enjoy the cruise'. Foodwise, I am wiser now...so didn't gorge down loads and loads...so, didn't put on weight, I guess.
