I used to go to the Preakness when I was young. I was always looking for a good time, and blissfully ignorant/fearless. In '77 I remember seeing Seattle Slew and winning a few sheckles. Now, almost 50 years later, the idea of standing all-day, binging on overpriced beer and hotdogs, and lining up for the porta-potties no longer seems appealing. I can't imagine why. 😛 PS.....I hope you enjoy the Ruby. We love the older ships too, but there were obvious service issues during our 2 weeks onboard in April. I hope things have improved since then.

The TVs at the casino bar all feature sporting events....believe you can bet on the race too via the casino's app.

The answer to both is: No

If you have the slightest concern that your vacation may somehow be affected or ruined, the only way to totally avoid that possibility would be to not book a voyage on the Crown.

I wouldn’t buy from Effy, or any place the so-called shopping expert recommends. They are only recommending places that give them a commission….so the sellers build that commission into your price, and you’ll end up paying too much.

Another major reason is the bandwidth needed when everyone tries to download the app once on board. Connection speeds are slow enough already, and they practically ground to a halt on the Ruby recently because they let everyone without the app on board.
