July 4 – 2016 – Day 4

We slept in late and Ed went to exercise while Barb got ready.

It was mostly cloudy but nice; however, we there wasn’t enough sun to sit out so we wandered around the ship looking and doing a little shopping.

We met our friends in the suite dining room for lunch at 1pm.  Barb had a Lamb Burger and Ed had grilled Tuna and both meals were excellent.

Starting at 11am until 2pm they held their $25,000 slot tournament qualifying rounds.  We were in the last round at 2pm.  The entry fee was $150; however, they had given each of us a free entry.  They will take the top eight who score the highest.  None of the six of us qualified for the final round.

Then we all played a secession of blackjack where Ed gave back what he had won last night and Barb was ahead. 

The show was a big cast production number called iHollywood and it was very good.

Dinner was again in the suite dining room with our friends and it was outstanding – great food and great service.  As this was Barbara Freeman’s birthday tomorrow, as our Barb’s request, the staff served us desert first as Barbara likes deserts – following is a picture of the desert cart and it was wonderful.

As they don’t care how much you eat most of us order multiple appetizers and pictured are the three appetizers that Ed had!!

This is probably the best dining experience and food that we have ever had on a cruise ship.  If we had to pay for it, it would have cost us approximately $2,000 additional to book a suite – thanks goodness for the casino host who arranged it for us.

Then it was on to the casino to go to work where Barb was up a little and Ed lost a little and as we left the casino at 1:00am, it is time to go to bed as we set the clocks ahead for tomorrow.
