Cruise Ship Gambling Pays Off....Finally

So, I get an email from Carnival today, offering me a FREE cruise. Okay, taxes and fees. I knew those hundreds of dollars spent in the casinos would pay off, some day. :-}

The Agent I spoke to even called it a "High Roller Promotion". Apparently, Carnival sets the High Roller bar fairly low.

Anyway, my Mother, Brother and I are embarking the 26th of October for a 3-day Baja Cruise on the Carnival Elation, and the grand total is $44.03/pp. It doesn't get much better than that. And it comes at a great time, since I have been trying to figure out how to get one more cruise on the Elation before she leaves the West Coast and heads to to the Gulf.

It will also be my first chance to try out Your Time Dining, since the Carnival Splendor, which I sailed in May and again in June, still hasn't adopted it.

And, yeah, a day in Ensenada is not my first choice in vacation spots, but any day spent on a cruise ship is a good day.

So there it is.
