My very first time!

[Neesa]

@WAAAYTOOO and @Ampurp85 please advise! I always have free play and in all this time have never used it, I'm not familiar with casino things. 

If you were me, very first time...armed with 12.00$$ free play, I'm using Cabash/Vintage Magnets as well, what would you play? Where would you start? 

Adventure of the Seas

I am going to dip my toe in so to speak, thanks for the suggestions

[WAAAYTOOO]

I’m gonna let @Ampurp85 answer this one b/c I’m so new to the machines.  ….not to mention that I have such a bad win/loss record on them !

Dancing drums. You can play for as low as eight cents. That way you can stretch your money and get a feel for it.

Okay cool, Dancing Drums! I know this is a slippery slope, but I'm going to try it! Dancing drums please!! Point me in the right direction. I always look at that free play and stare at it. Thanks so very much! 8 cents sounds perfect! Is it a slot machine? I can do that

Packing my red and purple undies!!

Make sure you go on night one or two. You get an extra couple of $ free play just on those two nights. It's to entice you in at the very beginning and get you hooked, of course.

GL @Neesa!

We generally just blow through our free play on whatever machine speaks to my wife... then she actually hit some small jackpot and cashed out $90 on Wonder last June and then $80 on Allure in October. Back to nothing in March but that's what we expect.

I know it was Press Your Luck on Allure, not sure what she played on Wonder... possibly Little Shop of Horrors? She'll usually pick out something related to pop culture or something with an animal theme.

NOTE: This isn't advice, just sharing anecdotes. I spent plenty of time playing blackjack in my younger years but haven't gambled on a cruise in forever. I used to go play for an hour to kill time if my wife was taking a nap... nowadays I'm more likely to just go get some more El Loco Fresh and a margarita.

I only play slots. I've heard some bad stories in regards to points when it comes to table games.

Little shop of horror is great but so far only Allure and Wonder had it.  Another great game is Crazy Money,  I don't know if it will be on adventure or not. It was like 10/20 cents. It was on Freedom but it's been replaced. I also agree to start using it night 1 or 2. I usually end up with between $8 and $16.
