You would be better off going on the STERLING casino boat.

PS- will drag you with me some day soon.

YES i hear sterling is good for "gambling" my wife booked a 3 night 4 day cruise, I know there is some blackjack but don't know about poker and craps. With no 'land' based casino's here (tampa) I've got a good bankroll built up for the dice table.

 

[Fishhead]

As mentioned, will take you on the Sterling with me sometime.

Best deal in Florida

Sounds great as I have thurs, fri, and sat. nights off. I have many years and hours logged at crap tables all over the country, would be nice to add to my chip collection, currently at over 20 racks 2000 chips.

No poker rooms but pretty sure they will be craps there. Everyone ive been on has craps but no poker. Get use to blackjack and carribean!

Did the Carnival cruise once a few years ago. I Gambled , of course, but don't remember how it went, too much alcohol, gained a few pounds too

You will find some of the worst gamblers you will ever see on a cruise ship. It will drive you nuts.....Go to the Atlantis. That place is awesome. Check out the little aquirum while you are there.

Sucks ass. Too many ignorant fools who don't know the basic strategy of blackjack.

Not enough tables. I prefer to play on the $25.00 or higher tables, but when I went, only $10.00 tables were offered, which led to my demise.

The games are terrible regarding house advantage. Expect craps to be single odds.

I have not been on the fantasy...but the Elation I was on a few times...and actually had good luck there at the craps table....its very lowkey there not like vegas ..not to many table games...but was fun

been on a ton of these 4 day cruises. You may stop in Key west first day (Friday) and then in Nassau for Saturday all day. I have yet to win money on a cruise ship but if you go in with the thought that what you bring in cash you will lose all will be fine. I love playing on the boats but you will more than likely lose in the long run because you will be in there so much.

Atlantis is very cool and very expensive. You will be there during the day so the table limits are not so bad. The food is outrageously expensive and not worth it BUT you must just walk the grounds and even consider buying a pass to swim and enjoy the pool. It is awesome and the slide is killer.

If you want to shake it up I can recommend a great restaurant to go Saturday night and you must visit Senior Frogs right at the dock. Let me know.good times. Have fun..

GamBling on cruises sucks..$5 table mins. Few tables and drinks are pricey.captive audience.
