lordstark Posted October 4, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 4, 2018 My wife and I are loyal casinos at sea players - meaning we only cruise with NCL and spend a large amount of our time and money in the casino! I don’t see a lot of casino conversation and threads about experience, wins, losses, game types, etc and I was thinking about doing a live review during our Bliss sailing happening next week 10/13. Just wanted to see if there was any interest in this? And if others found it easy to do live reviews with photos via mobile? I won’t be bringing a laptop. :cool: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plus1cruiser Posted October 4, 2018 #2 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I would like to follow. DH is a casino player on a Royal and we are going on our first NCL cruise on the Bliss Haven soon. We’ve been wondering about the casino. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgie562 Posted October 4, 2018 #3 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I don't spend tons of time in the Casino but I do spend a fair amount of time in it. I'd be interested in following your casino Bliss report since we board November 3. I'm interested on the kind of slot machines they have and the minimum bets on table games.

JCDCA Posted October 4, 2018 #5 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Do you need to do anything special to "join" the CAS rewards program or just show room key when sitting at a table to get rated? Or do they actually have a player's card when enrolling that you can use in the machines a la the Vegas players clubs? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffjeffjeffjeff Posted October 4, 2018 #6 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Ill be watching. I am also curious if there is a Texas Holdem table on the ship somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricruise Posted October 4, 2018 #7 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I would love to hear this type of review. Sail next January and although we are not in the Haven we will be spending a lot of time in the casino. Information on type of slots, minimum antes at the tables and what's hot would be wonderful.

cruisestan2 Posted October 4, 2018 #11 Share Posted October 4, 2018 We also spend a lot of time in the casino and are anxious to see your review. We sail Bliss this February. Have a great time and we wish you luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhenIsOurNextCruise Posted October 4, 2018 #15 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Ill be watching. I am also curious if there is a Texas Holdem table on the ship somewhere? Yes, there is a real poker table and they have live games and tournaments. They also have a couple of Ultimate Texas Hold'em tables, one in the non smoking area and one in the smoking room. Lots of blackjack but I didn't play because it is constant shuffle and drives me crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your room key can be used, or you can get a players card made at the Casino Host desk. For slots, I recommend getting a players card, so if you happen to leave your card in the machine, you can still access your room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_DeA Posted October 4, 2018 #19 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Ill be watching. I am also curious if there is a Texas Holdem table on the ship somewhere? Yes there is. All Norwegian ships run $2/5 no limit games. Smaller ships sometimes have trouble filling the table on a regular basis. But no problem on the mega ships.

Actually I re-read it a bit later and caught what you were saying. My lysdexia kicked in and I read it as you don't spend time in the casino but you spend time in the casino.

lordstark Posted October 4, 2018 Author #21 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Awesome! Seems like there’s interest! I’ll make sure to to it then. Please follow the thread for further updates. My wife and I don’t do “cheap cruising” or vacations in general. Work hard, play hard, right? So, a lot of the reviews don’t help us because they’re people complaining about food in free dining rooms or nickle and diming of upcharge issues. Not that cost/value isn’t important - but we do all specialty dining, spa, haven and casino on our trips. So, that’s all we’ll be weighing in on.

plus1cruiser Posted October 4, 2018 #22 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Question to you as a regular NCL casino player. does the casino offer Haven discounts? On Royal DH gets regular room offers for Jr Suites or we can upgrade to suite for nominal fee. Just Curious. Thanks.

lordstark Posted October 4, 2018 Author #23 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Yes, based on your play. They make it super easy though. Just use your CAS players card when playing to accrue points. After our first NCL cruise (we paid for) we haven’t paid for one since. We usually go on two a year that’s comped in the haven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work hard play hard, dining, beverages, suites. We pamper ourselves on vacation. 2 gratis cruises this year on RCCI. Paying for NCL. Wanted to try the Bliss, Haven, and see Jersey Boys ( scheduled both shows!) Thanks for the upcoming time you’ll spend on this & we will be following.

17cruisesnsl Posted October 5, 2018 #25 Share Posted October 5, 2018 That would be wonderful and much appreciated. We're casino at sea (and on land) people and love our Haven time. To quote my 89 year old mother when I suggested we book a Disney cruise -- why would you expect me to travel on a ship without a casino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
