Rare TravelBluebird Posted July 28, 2021 #26 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Wow that casino is HUGE! No wonder I got such a good casino offer for my February 2022 Mardi Gras cruise! They have to fill it with gamblers! I do wish the non-smoking side was a bit bigger, but I’ll take it. Overall, it is a lovely casino. And I agree with some others; how will my travel companions ever find me in there? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of the shuffling time, deck swaps, transaction time (e.g., newly seated gives card and contribution in exchange for chips, plus all those rebuys). I usually use that time to talk with my neighbors but also look around. I usually only look at my cards once anyway, except sometimes after drink #5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually use that time to talk with my neighbors but also look around. I usually only look at my cards once anyway, except sometimes after drink #5. I recall one time I really lost track of (not time), but drinks... it was probably 1 or 2 am. I kept saying "sure, I'll take another". The voice of the waiter was just background noise to me at that point! And there was absolutely no problem until the moment I decided to stand up and try to walk. That night, I kept one foot on the floor in my bed. I'm generally not a big drinker - and that just helped to drive that point home! Gravity is real.

CruisingFromLA Posted July 28, 2021 #33 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Someone correct me if I am wrong, but it looks like the smoking section is the area inside the red outline and everything else will be non-smoking correct? Anyone see any video poker machines? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus look at that window space behind the tables. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherCraig Posted July 28, 2021 #37 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Best news today. I don't have to bring "throw-away clothes" for the casino anymore. Had to throw so many clothes away or donate after a cruise due to the casino smoke. Could never wash out that disgusting cig smell. Exciting stuff! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH711 Posted July 28, 2021 #38 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I’m not sure you got it right. He said in the 2nd video that the Starboard side (right side) is non-smoking. Looking at your drawing, the Starboard side (now non-smoking) looks a lot smaller than the Port side (smoking). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrotherCraig Posted July 28, 2021 #44 Share Posted July 28, 2021 John did mis-speak when he said in the second video he was walking down the starboard side. He is overwhelmed with info and excitement so understandable. None of his videos are rehearsed or scripted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
