Cruise - Tempting Lady Luck On Board A Cruise ShipSeptember 5, 2008Home Tags: Cruise, CruiseJungle, Onboard, Gambling, Casino,
Las Vegas at sea? Today's cruise ships host a variety of gaming options ranging from games for first timers to high stakes gambling tables for more seasoned players. Most of the medium to large ships offer Blackjack, countless slot machines, Caribbean stud poker, Roulette and craps.
If gaming is a particularly important part of your cruise, keep in mind that on some itineraries such as Bermuda, where you dock for several days, gaming time is limited. Also, note that due to Hawaii laws, there are no casinos on NCL America ships based there, including Pride of Aloha, Pride of America and Pride of Hawaii. Similarly, casinos can stay open when cruising Alaska's Inside Passage unless they are within three miles of a port. Tournaments Tournaments continue to gain popularity on most cruise ships with larger casinos. Carnival Cruise Lines, Royal, NCL and Princess are among those that feature slot and blackjack tournaments. In the last several years the growing popularity of Texas Hold-em Poker has induced some of the lines to add live poker tables and conduct "no-limit" gambling tournaments one or more times during the cruise. And last year, the finals of the World Poker Tournament were held on board a Holland America ship. Princess Cruises recently added automated Poker Pro tables to some of its ships. And don't forget about Bingo which is making a comeback due to new games and higher jackpots. Special Promotions If you enjoy gaming, ask your cruise specialist to research any upcoming promotions or gambling tournament that may be of interest to you. And when you get on board, be sure to introduce yourself to the casino floor manager to get an update on casino happenings on your particular cruise. Alas, the "free" drinks of Las Vegas are not a tradition on board cruise ships but the pit bosses CAN buy you the occasional beverage if you are spending a lot of time (or money) trying to beat Lady Luck.
