my wife is going to see how much I'm drinking, be very upset, and it will mar the experience. Is that unrealistic? I'm not a high-stakes whale that gets comped a helicopter transit, but the idea of paying for drinks in a casino is surreal to me. I expect free drinks, priority boarding in port, and have gotten used to 'mostly' free cruise offers, and haven't complained about the 'Lunch with the Captain' or 'Cocktail party on boarding' events - comped excursions and meals at specialty restaurants and all are nice, but at the very baseline - drinks, some sort of incentive to TAKE the cruise. I'm concerned about starting over with a new cruise line where I have no player's card, player history, or baseline comps.

If a shipboard casino is $25 - $1,000, I wouldn't book a cruise, nor am I willing to blindly book a cruise to be able to get to the casino to ask the casino manager on the ship what the table max is.įor those who have gambled on Royal Caribbean, what is the VIP section? Am I going to not be allowed because I don't have a play history? If I were to book a cruise, get on the cruise, then not get to gamble because the VIP section is off limits to me, I would be livid.

That's no good All across the Vegas strip, European roulette is $25 - $20,000 for 1:1 bets, $25 - $10,000 for 2:1 bets, and $1,000 progressive. RCCL tells me the single-zero roulette tables have a $25 minimum bet, but that the maximum bet is determined by the onboard casino manager. I've e-mailed Carnival asking about fleet-wide casino options waiting to hear back.RCCL tells me they have 8 ships with European roulette in their VIP-only section - I've asked which ships so we can explore cruise options.NCL has no European roulette in their fleet, so they're out.My wife suggested we cruise again, but just choose another cruiseline, so that brings me back to research.

I'd been planning a Vegas trip this fall to gamble with a $10k budget - I haven't been to Vegas since I started cruising, but after extensive research, perks have disappeared, comps have shrunk, and the strip resorts are nickel and diming people - while the off-strip casinos don't have single-zero roulette / European roulette, and I won't play American roulette anymore. I've only cruised with NCL for the last decade, but after losing $7,000 in ~6 minutes on my first day gambling on my last cruise with ZERO comps (beyond the free drinks and mostly-free cruises I was already getting).then spending the rest of the week-long cruise on a ship full of mostly sick people going to ports that had been hurricane ravaged, my loyalty is broken.

I just signed up for these forums after reading through here a bit, and thought I'd ask you guys for help.
