Main Fashion Dining — Royal Caribbean Hard Rock

I was lucky enough to be given by Royal Caribbean Cruise Line a three-night stay at my local Seminole Hard Rock Hotel in Tampa, Florida.   The room was very luxurious.  We had a wonderful time of quiet and peace, loud and very noisy on the casino floor, dim lights and then bright lights.  It was a gift we treasured and will always remember.

The hotel has a large guitar standing out by the roadway, with the building in the back.  The guitar can be seen from many miles away.  It’s the lead-in photo that I shared above. The outside of the building is concrete and looks cold, but inside is warm like a pastry right out of the oven.

During our visit, there were many Christmas decorations. They were beautiful.  We have only been here a few times, mostly on the holidays, just to see the gorgeous decorations.

The Seminole Tribe of Florida owns all the Seminole Tribe hotels and casinos.  They deserve to have this source of income after what was done to the Native Indians of America.  Read about the Trail of Tears.  It will tell you how the Indian Removal Act of 1830 rounded up the Seminoles and forced them on a long trek away from their homes in Florida.  Many Native Americans died during that forced trip.  Horrors occurred during that trip.  It is a part of our history that shames me to the bone.

When we stayed in that quiet room, I hoped that every descendant of the Seminole Tribe currently had a room as beautiful as the one we stayed in.  They deserve it.  They deserve much more than I can ever give them.

It makes you grateful to be in a beautiful place like that.  And our stay was a gift from Royal Caribbean; otherwise, we would have never stayed there, especially for three nights.

The casino was bustling.  Always.  We were very careful.  Gambling can be a horrible addiction.  There is help for those with a gambling problem.  Seek help.  Google for a hotline number on gambling that can give you the information you need.

Thank you, Royal Caribbean, for being loyal to us by giving us this free weekend trip. We had a lot of fun.

Thanks for reading.
