Hehehe Yes, though only once at the true original one with the long bar. The
other times, across the street at the newer 'raffles' which is less pricey.

On a ship at sea it's almost impossible to spend anything, so my 'fun money'
would pile up and when we hit a port, I would enjoy it with things I normally
could never afford.

I've done the cheap too, but not as often.  A lady alone is a bit wiser to
upscale the accomodations for safety reasons as you might guess.  If I had
lots of buddies in the same place, I didnt worry too much about it though.
