If Sunshine Leaves Port Canaveral att 4PM, What Time Does The Casino Open?

[stefs111]

If the Sunshine leaves Pt Canaveral at 4PM, what time will the casino open?

[Honolulu Blue]

My generalized experience is that the casino will open about 1/2 hour after leaving any port. So if it leaves at 4, by 4:30 you should be able to wander down and it'll be either open or close enough that dealers are standing by their tables (with their bosses nearby). In the latter case, go ahead and ask someone when they plan to open.

Kind of an odd question for someone with 19 cruises on your list;) You know there is at least a 3 mile thing before it's legal to open. So, the time depends on how fast the ship is going!

Some ports have a longer ways to go before reaching open waters so guessing that is the reason for the question.

 

Would think about half hour after getting going would be about right

It's a first place I go once we are underway. It feels like an eternity waiting:eek:

Not odd at all. We've been on many cruises and I have no idea what time the casino opens. We're busy exploring the ship, or napping as we usually leave very early for the airport, unpacking , sail away party, etc.

We left out of Port Canaveral last cruise and it was 1-1/2 hours before the cassino opened

I wondered why you counted up the OP's 19 cruises. Practice?:D;)

What happens when they get over 20 and run out of fingers and toes?;)

My job is done now, they've asked the question (but getting multiple answers).

[stefs111]

You all are so funny, thank you for the answers. I sure hope it is not an hour and a half, yes, I have picked up the casino bug. I usually go to the Tampa Hard Rock Casino at least once a month, but have not been there for about 6 months while trying to save money to gamble on the upcoming cruise. We love cruising, and the casino is part of the reason.

 

I am hoping to get some slot time in before early dinner. I will ask the casino hosts, but was just asking on this board because I know someone would have an answer for me sooner.

 

Again, thank you for the responses.

I was thinking the number was 12 miles and found a website about legal gambling that said the following: "Territorial waters begin twelve miles away from the coastline and this is where it gets interesting in regards to gaming laws. For example, cruise ships that have gaming on board cannot open their casino until they have exceeded the twelve miles in respect to USA waters because of the illegal gambling rules."

It depends on how fast the captain is driving.....If he has a lead foot, sooner than later!

From m experience it always seems around 6pm that the casino opened.

What about New Orleans? Don't they go down the river for a while?
