Clamett: thank you very much for this information as a diabetic it is nice to see sugar-free key lime pie:D John

I am going on the Explorer of the seas March 30,2012 8 days going to the Bahamas and Florida. I am single, straight and going solo. John

Hi folks! We have an Explorer cruise booked in September and we were hoping that someone could give us some info on the Sports Bar - Weekend Warrior. We have seen the pictures of the bar, but were wondering - are college games shown there? Are they "real-time" games? September is a huge sports month are we were curious. By chance, does anyone know if it is smoking or not? Thanks for your help.

when I went in Oct 09 they showed the Pittsburgh-Minnesota NFL game on sunday on the tv in the cabin as I was getting ready for formal night. Then the next day in the sports bar they replayed the game in the afternoon as we were docked in Bermuda. As I was sitting there 3 men came in and asked me if this was the monday night game?:confused: it was 2:00 in the afternoon come on. As far as college goes I am not sure. John

On the 5/26 sailing, pizza was done at 3AM... The sandwiches were still available.

I usually visit the sandman at 3AM but thank you for that information:D John

family4crusing: I posted a roll call for the 03/30/2012 Explorer sailing on the meet and mingle page if you would like to have a look John

You're review has been really great I look forward to reading your adventure.

Would also like to thank you for posting on our meet and mingle page. Very nice of you. John

looking for information on the Sportsbook on the Oasis of the Seas. Although I will be sailing during a thin sports week (between the AFC/NFC championship games and the superbowl) thought I might put down a bet on College basketball if possible. John

Thank you for all your information it was very helpful. I posted this when I went on the Explorer in October but I like to play pass line with odds and place the 6 and 8 take 3 hits and come down. I know I will not win a fortune but I usually do not get killed either John

On the Oasis the craps min was always $5, never less. Single odds and I don't think they ever offered 2X during the week. The blackjack went to $6 for a couple of hours. There are 3 of the virtual blackjack machines for $2 min. There is also a Texas Holdem table game which looks like a loser to me. Lots of Texas Holdem tournaments. My DW hit a big win on Let it Ride.

 

Lots of one cent machines but you have to play max like 50 lines x 15 credits = $7.50 or more a spin on some machines to hit the bigger jackpots so they are not what they seem.

 

Andy, the Oasis is the big dog. I'm so glad we went and will go back again.

Thank you for the information, I am looking forward to my trip in January.

one last question on sea days were the craps tables open in the afternoon or just at night? John

Blackjack was $10 min except for a few special hours of $6 because they now have the $2 virtual blackjack machines. There was also a roulette table $5 inside $25 outside. There were two craps tables and one was empty most of the time.

what were the craps table minimums on the Oasis? and did they have a lower minimum amount on certain nights like with blackjack John

Hello all: Just found this thread and spent the last few hours reading all the posts. I have been playing craps since 2001 and have gone to several casinos including Vegas (8 times), Atlantic City (3 times), Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun (1 time each) and Turning Stone an Indian casino in central New York at least 5 times.I will be sailing on the Explorer of the seas in October and this will be my first cruise. I thought a change of pace from Vegas and a change of venue would do me good.

My style of play is as follows: I usually look for a $5 or $10 table and buy-in for $100-$200

1)right side bettor

2)min pass line bet

3)2x time odds

4)$6 6 and 8 or $12 6 or 8 depends on the table

5) three place hits and down until the come out

6)ALWAYS before my first come out after buy-in $5 horn high YO for the crew (for good luck)

7)if I am doing well when I leave the table a little something extra for the crew

Using this system I have not broken the bank but have only gone down in flames (lost my entire bankroll once) That was at Ceasars Palace in Vegas last year playing craps in front of the pussycat dolls lounge as the all female dealers were in there bra's and fishnet stockings and women were pole dancing on an elevated stage above the tables. it was quite a scene:D I lost $300 but had a great time.

some craps highlights: I won $600 at the Mirage (the most I have ever won in 1 period) without ever rolling the dice!!!

At the hardrock in Vegas on superbowl eve in 2001 on a very crowded table and my second time ever throwing the dice. I rolled 7 or 11- 9 straight times on the come out I have never come close to that since.

At Trump Plaza in Atlantic City I once played with basketball great DR J who was such a nice man a real gentleman. At the other end of the table 2 loudmouth jerks were telling him he was not as good as Allen Iverson:mad: He took it all in stride but when he left the table the pit boss tore these jerks a new behind about the way they treated the DR. On a side note as a lifelong Celtics fan I would never insult the DR in this way. He was such a great player.

The BIG 6 and BIG 8 have been talked about on here. In Atlantic City it is not even on the layout. Also in almost every Vegas casino now the hop bets are all listed on the layout (for about 3-4 years now)

for those that have sailed on RCCL ships what have been the min bets at night on the craps table? thank you to all that respond. JOHN
