Back from Bahamas with a funny story

Just returned from Royal Caribbean cruise to the bahamas with my wife and twin brother and his girl for my birthday. The first night, we are playing texas holdem (7 handed blackjack table, sick 10% rake up to 15.00) with all these fish (2/5 500 cap) and my brother takes this atrocious beat with all the chips in the middle on the turn. I'm the calm twin and he's a f-in hot head so he turned around and yells MOTHER FUCKER! and punches the slot machine behind the table. Well, I guess he thought it was plexiglass because that m-fer shattered all over the place (it was glass obv) and I just tell him, "you're done get the f outta here hothead". The casino host immediately gets on the phone for security to kick him out and call the stateroom tomorrow to let you know the details. So, basically I keep playing and they tell me if he wasn't a diamond member (10 or more cruises) they would make him fly home from the Bahamas. We all think we are going to be lugging a slot machine home and we take prop bets on how much it's going to cost....

Fortunately security calls the next day and says you're lucky you are diamond member or you'd be flying home from Bahamas (this was the first night of the cruise lol) but we are charging you 150.00 for the glass replacement and you are banned for life from Royal Caribbean casino.

He was allowed to play bingo though in the auditorium next door though! lol

It was an interesting cruise though...our first with Royal and probably the last.. the staff was very unhappy. I always pre-tip the room steward guy or girl a 20 spot in advance so he keeps the ice bucket full for cocktails (since we bring on booze obv) and this gut had no personality, etc... We went to Nassau and Cococay in the Bahamas, Royal caribbean's private island. The casino was up and down, lost a bunch at craps the first night, then booked a nice 700.00 win at single deck blackjack, then went up 1500 playin dontpass on craps, then we go back later and lose 2K at dice sigh... the players were pretty horrendous at the poker table though. They'd buy in for like 100 or 200 and donk it all off. I ended up a bit there, no memorable hands or anything. There was a sweet seeing eye dog on board and we all took prop bets on where the dog took his dumps at. We still never figured it out, so nobody won that bet. lol

I guess that's all for now, let's run hot in March.
