I gave up and began to buy my drinks from the bar, receiving great drinks, service, and conversation from the bartender.
She would continue to walk around where I was sitting or never bring a drink back after my friend or I requested it. This was not my first or last trip on the Victory Cruise, but this time, my friend and I found it very difficult to get a drink from the waitress while playing the slots and on the tables. I recently went on the Victory Casino Cruise, and as a Black man, I have been aware of the racism from the Latino community for some time now.
