Does anyone know any poker cruise dates for 2008 or 2009?
Not sure of exact dates of future cruises but just got off of diamond Princess, the casino was great. They only have one holdem table but it was a new table with an electronic dealer. Each player has a screen in front of them to see your cards and make your calls or bets. It was great, no misdeals or waiting on card shuffling. The table was open during the days and evenings with mostly 1- 2 no limit games. They had a single tournament everyday at 11:00 am. $50.00 entry with payback of $450.00 to 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Had an evening tournament, with the prize being $450.00 to first place. On one day had six tournaments. The only problem was that there was only one table so only 10 people could enter each tournament a day. Had to be at the cashiers window when they opened to get a spot. Actually on most mornings had 6 or 8 people there a half hour or more before it opened to register. The casino manager, Tim, was great. He said they will be installing 4 more tables real soon. The new electronic tables were great. Easy to play on, on your screen it showed who bet how much, how much each player has and how much the current pot is. Fun to play on if you are ok with using electronics. A few of the older players did not like them, but overall most of the players really liked them.
