Casinos while docked

[Kroozen]

Can anyone tell me if the casino onboard the ship are open while docked in Bermuda? It's been a few years since I've been on a cruise to Bermuda and I know there was talk about the government allowing the ships to keep their casinos open, but I don't remember hearing the outcome. THANKS!

Summit casinos opened at 9pm.

The cruise line has to purchase a license for each cruise ship that visits Bermuda which would allow the casino to be open from 9PM to 4AM (??).

 

Which cruise ship will you be on?

I'll be on the Breakaway in September.

I was wrong about the closing time. It is 5AM, not 4AM.

 

Here is a Royal Gazette article from 10/3/13 announcing the passage of the Cruise Ship Casino Act of 2013.

Breakaway has the license for the casino to open after 9:00 PM while in port.

On the BA to Bermuda 2 weeks ago, casino (both table games & slots) open on both nights while docked there at 9 PM until 5 AM ... and, very busy - lots of players making their generous donations.

Thanks everyone. Considering surprising my parents and booking this cruise for them as well, and I know they'll appreciate the casino at night!

Anyone know about the Veendam?

[SailBadtheSinner]

Since the Veendam's passenger capacity is less than 2,000. HAL does not have to purchase a license to open the casino. The Cruise Ship Casino Act of 2013 allows smaller cruise ships capable of berthing in Hamilton and St George’s, with a passenger capacity not exceeding 2,000, to open the casino without paying the fee.

Have you posted your question to the Carnival Board, or called Carnival and asked them?
