and other excessive pleasures:
The Love Boat Dream
Which apparently they have the rights to “The Love Boat” as this is a Princess Cruise that we are on. The Dream dessert is an option on the dinner menu that was available for the entire cruise and it is a chocoholic’s favorite.
The Ruby Princess
View from the docks. That whole horizontal window is the bridge.
Big hot tub
Medium hot tub
Small hot tubs and pool
Even more hot tubs, pools, and movie theater
A real casino (in Monte Carlo)
A slot machine on the ship’s casino
Dean Martin’s Wild Party! OK. This machine came out like fourteen years after “The King of Cool” died (Hell, did you know Martin was known as the King of Cool? Not me!) Made by the WMS video game company, it’s been said that “Dean Martin’s Wild Party is a volatile game, but worth the trouble if you can hit a bonus round. It is unusual in that it starts with only two lines that funnel into sixty.” It’s no way near the “I Dream of Jeanne” slots, but we had gotten two casino tokens as change from the ship’s laundry so we thought “why not?”. Dino ate those tokens in no time! Momma Mia!
In the ship’s galley
Desserts are getting ready!
Fancy cakes on display?
Entertainment at every corner?
And a large theater yet!
A place for kids to play!
And this “Sanctuary” for parents to get away from the kids! Actually there were very few kids on this cruise so not many people took advantage of the sanctuary (which costs extra, BTW!)
Caged in sports area!
Mini-Golf (and cyber-golf too!) No skeet shooting though.
Lots of happy employees!
