imsulin Posted May 16, 2004 #1 Share Posted May 16, 2004 I think that 12 miles out will put the ship into international waters. However, leaving port, you will not be at full speed, so it could take a couple of hours - or longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnobrien Posted May 16, 2004 #2 Share Posted May 16, 2004 Sailing on VOS 5/21 out of Bayonne. When do you think the casino will open? I know it has to be a certain number of miles out - but not sure how long it takes to get that far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinfanatic Posted May 16, 2004 #3 Share Posted May 16, 2004 the casino usually opens about half an hr after leaving port. The first day is different though. It will open later in the day because the muster drill will most likely be held first.

jkagey12 Posted May 17, 2004 #5 Share Posted May 17, 2004 Or as the great John Heald once said....if the casino is closed you can get an envelope with your money and slide underneath the door, they will be happy to take it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've done the casino boats in FL and I'm almost positive they never got as far as 12 miles out. I know that for the most part, we just stood on the deck and watched the lights of the cities pass by on shore. The odds on those boats are really bad.

imsulin Posted May 17, 2004 Author #9 Share Posted May 17, 2004 I know there's some kind of difference between 3 miles out and 12 miles out, as I've heard both. Maybe the 12 miles out is for the duty-free shops. Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
