Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, Florida
February 22, 2020 Since I had a full day to kill in Miami before getting on the cruise ship, what better way for a gambler to do that then to visit the Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, Florida. If you’ve never been here, this is the one with the hotel that is shaped like a…
Oasis of the Seas Cruise, Embarkation Day
February 23, 2020 The day is finally here! We are getting on our ship, Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas! Embarkation (I keep wanting to say boarding, but this is a ship not a plane) begins around 10:30, but the ship doesn’t pull out of the harbor until 4:30. I, of course, get there early…
Food and Fun on The Oasis of the Seas
February 24, 2020 There is so much to do on Royal Caribbeans Oasis of the Seas cruise ship, that I really don’t even know where to start. I had seven nights to explore, enjoy, and eat on this beautiful ship, but even seven nights wasn’t quite enough to see it all! Of course, part of…

Bellagio Play and the Conservatory

Raspberry Lemon Drops at the Cosmopolitan
