Hi folks

Just got back from a cruise on the caribbean and I was excited to find a games room with a new-ish looking WPT. Later during the week I decided to give it whirl only to find out pinball doesn't really work well in a swaying ship. The boat was a medium class ship but the swells were just enough to throw your sh!t off when you were about to make a shot.

This was an all inclusive vacation, including booze, so everyone on the ship got wasted... including the pinball

Now did you play the pinball before or after over indulging in the drinks of gods?  Maybe the weather was fine but your balance was a bit off.............

Hope you had fun!

take care

It was through Go Travel and it was the Pacific Dream owned by Pullmanturs, a company out of spain. Total incl air, accomodations, food, booze, taxes and grats out of Ottawa was $1100 based on double occupancy
