wow what a ship! That thing is amazingly huge and is loaded with great food and great entertainment and the casino has good size. Very happy with the experience, definitely recommend.

How was the casino on board?

does it have a sportsbook? Always wondered if the cruise ships could get away with sportsbetting.

I've done a few cruise things before.
Did the Sea Venture to Bermuda, amazing ship, amazing food, casino, but I know no cruise ship that has a sportsbook in the casino.

think that would be tricky, even if law allowed it.....games could go into extra innings or something on last day of cruise, and you wouldnt be able to cash ticket without getting back on ship

nope! I have not been on a cruise with a sports book yet, last cruise I went to nassau and the sportsbook at paradise island was the best I could do.

slots were always open, table games were a little packed at certain times, mostly on the minimums. The roulette table actually had a ball rather than being electronic so i was happy with that. Poker games usually had a close to full table running 1-2 nl. Baccarat, 3 card, ultimate texas holdem always had open seats. 5 min BJ was always full 10 min had like 1 open seat always. Craps table got pretty live on the 10 min, I was hoping to get on a slow table to learn but they were always live. Overall, very similar to my Hard Rock casino in Hollywood, FL just much smaller.

I would think they would go with poker rooms before sportsbooks lol. (full blown I mean, not just a section with 2 tables.)

I went on a cruise for my honeymoon 24 years ago. Still the best vacation I have ever been on. Unfortunately, my wife likes to stay in one spot on vaca......and of course the warden always wins!
