Mike_DeA Posted September 13, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Looking to find out how long it takes to get down the Mississippi to open waters. Interested to find out when the casino will open the first night, and if it will close early the last evening. This is for the December Poker Challenge.

EnjoyingCruising Posted September 13, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 13, 2019 It takes about seven hours to go down the Mississippi River but I cannot say when the casino will open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgmpuma Posted September 14, 2019 #3 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Casino opens very shortly after departure. Gambling is legal in Louisiana, so no need to wait until you reach international waters. Cruise ships spend most of the last night cruising upriver to New Orleans. I have never stayed up late enough to see when the casino closes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize the casino can open that soon after after departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due note that the on-board shops close quite early the last night, as they are not permitted to operate in the river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
