Mah Jongg

We will be going on our first Seabourn cruise next year. I was wondering if the ship has any mah jongg sets aboard their ships? Oceania has sets you can use. I love to play during the sea days.

I think Ma Jong works in the laundry

There is always Backgammon available

There were certainly regular mah jongg sessions in the games/cards room on our last cruise. Whether there are any sets, or if folks brought there own travelling ones, I'm not sure. DW is a bit of a mah jongg fan and went along, but the games were American rules, whereas she learnt to play in the Far East, which has somewhat different conventions (I think......; mah jongg is another thing I personally don't know much about, like collecting coins, however I'm in a reckless mood and prepared to throw around unfounded opinions at a moment's notice).

Love the phraseology. May I borrow it? Promise I will give it back.:)

You are welcome.

I've borrowed it myself - not the words and sentiment, but certainly the rhetorical style and concept - from Raymond Chandler, one of my favourite writers. If you have not read him, but like that sort of thing, I recommend you have a dip.

I have read Raymond Chandler but it is many years ago

To answer your question about Mahjong games availability.My wife is a player and she plays when ever we are at sea,and yes there are three to four games on board.
