daljcl Posted September 16, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Thinking of booking the Pride for June 2020 and was wondering of the casino will be open the first night and last night......the last time we sailed the Grandeur out of Baltimore a few years ago, the casino could not open until we were out of the Chesapeake Bay so basically not until the next day and then it closed at 8:00 pm on the last night. Any info would be helpful as I try to decide between the Pride and RCCL Oasis......I know LOL very different ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Living_life2019 Posted September 16, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 16, 2019 I sail on her on Oct 6th, so I will let you know when I get back. Hopefully someone who knows will let us know soon...:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe817 Posted September 16, 2019 #3 Share Posted September 16, 2019 I may be wrong, but there is no gambling on any ship until they leave U.S. territorial waters, which is a 12 mile limit. But it may be more than that. That includes every cruise line that sails out of a U. S. port. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pride left Baltimore at around 5:30 and they are still in the Chesapeake Bay as of 10:52pm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pusywillow Posted September 16, 2019 #5 Share Posted September 16, 2019 The casino was open on the first night every time I have sailed on the Pride, I went after dinner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jamman54 Posted September 16, 2019 #6 Share Posted September 16, 2019 We have cruised on the Pride out of Baltimore 5 times and I can assure you that the casino is open both the first and last nights. The casino opened not long after sail away. 😎 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disfan13 Posted September 16, 2019 #7 Share Posted September 16, 2019 We also sailed the pride a couple of times - the casino is indeed open the first night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Orleans cruises have the casino open on the Mississippi River every cruise. Same for cruises out of Baltimore! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daljcl Posted September 16, 2019 Author #10 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Thanks for replies..... The last time I sailed the Pride about 5 years ago, the casino oped soon after sailing. Sailed the RCCL Grandeur of the Seas out of Baltimore 3 years ago and there had been some issue with the state of Maryland and they could not open until we hit the international waters which meant not until out of the Chesapeake Bay which was after midnight. A few of us in the sailing party were quite disappointed in this so I am hoping to not have same issue on the Pride in June. Looking forward to hearing back from person sailing in October....🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
