Slot Pull

Teknofauz (Nancy and Joe) and Zelker (Barb and John) are hosting a slot pull!

We're hoping to do this on Thursday, November 3rd, 10:00 a.m. but final details will be determined once we talk to the casino manager.

So here's the scoop!

  • The buy-in is $15 per person (please bring $5 and $10 bills only - no singles), paid to one of the four of us in the casino just prior to the start of the slot pull. We'll keep track of who has paid and the order in which you paid, which will then determine the order of the pulls.

  • Once the first pull has been made, the slot pull is closed to any further participants. We will cap the number of participants at 70.

  • Each person will get five (5) pulls on a dollar slot machine. You must bet the maximum $3/pull each time. You do not cash out after your pulls. One of us will record the total of your 5 pulls.

  • No cash-out will happen until everyone has had their turn. Then the total will be divided between all paying participants. If there is leftover money that won't divide evenly among all participants, that money will be split between the person who accumulates the highest number of points and the person who accumulates the lowest number of points. (Example: we have 47 participants and we have $1,433 on the slot machine at the end. $1,433 divided by 47 participants = $30.48 per person so each person will get $30, which leaves $0.48. Multiply $0.48 by 47 people which leaves a $22.99 overage which will be split evenly between the person who accumulated the highest number of points and the person who accumulated the lowest number of points so those two people will each get $11.50).

If you wish to participate, we need your Cruise Critic name, your name, and your cabin # in case there is a change to the schedule so we can notify you.


The more the merrier - so come join us! This is a fun event with a chance to win a few bucks (remember - no guarantees though)! Even if you're not going to play, we highly encourage everyone to come and cheer on the slot pullers and mingle with others from the roll call!

Cabin Crawl - Junonia

I am organizing a "cabin crawl" for Halloween day, the beginning of our long sea week! We did it last year on a long voyage across the Pacific and it was a lot of fun. We started in an inside cabin and worked our way up to one of the suites. Those who had bottles of wine brought one and a few people made trays of food to pass around. It was interesting because we got to see some room categories we didn't even know existed such as the "inside" rate cabin that still had a large window in between the lifeboats and also a few luxury category cabins like the aft- facing balcony suites and one grand suite. After the crawl we went to the lounge with foosball and darts and those who wanted to enjoyed a pre-dinner cocktail.

Our cabin crawl will be on 10/31 at 2:30pm and we will make it Halloween themed. Please email me at dsala29 at yahoo dot com if you are willing to participate and/or volunteer your cabin for 20 minutes or so! So far we have a balcony cabin and a suite with a butler who can presumably make us some nice food trays. Specifically we are looking for cabins for the crawl (15-20 mins max), decorations of any kind keeping with the theme, name tags, organizational help, and bottles of wine. Celebrity allows 2 bottles per stateroom and wine is very inexpensive in Spain. If you want to join in the fun, please contribute in any way you are able! Looking forward to meeting you all and I am going to cap this at 22-23 people for space limitations so please plan accordingly. It will be tight, but it will be fun. Please come ready to have fun, socialize and make friends!
