Rare CineGraphic Posted October 18, 2021 #1 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I just saw in a live thread from the Emerald, that the casino is not currently hosting any tournaments. I'm assuming that this is fleet-wide, but as we've all learned over the years, the word "consistency" doesn't seem to be in the Princess dictionary. Can someone on board kindly ask the casino host if our private group slot pull will be allowed? (40 people) If they don't allow it, that's fine. I just want to let everyone know now, instead of at the last minute. We sail on November 6th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is for Princess run tournaments. No mention of a private slot pull. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare 1025cruise Posted October 18, 2021 #5 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Can't speak for Princess, but I know Carnival is not allowing private slot pulls. I know the Princess policies tend to mimic Carnival, so this might also be the case. They aren't allowing congregating in the casino. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalLuvsCrusingToo Posted October 18, 2021 #6 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I didn't see groups of onlookers in the Majestic casino when we were on. I didn't see any smokers either, which was great, since were masked inside. We will be back onboard this weekend. A handful of people doing a Slot pull could be fun, been there, done that. But in covid times, I can't imagine 40 participants congregating in a small area? That could be the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare CineGraphic Posted October 18, 2021 Author #8 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Just got off of the phone with the casino department. Thankfully, I was connected with someone other than the grumpy lady we all know and love (not!) Unfortunately, they were unable to tell me anything other than I need to ask if we can have our slot pull once we are on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course gambling is allowed! But they are talking about a Group Slot Pull where there are supposed to be 40 participants GROUP Playing " a " slot Machine. 😮 NOT 40 people playing on 40 different machines. Thats the issue. I would hate to be the poor sap playing the machine next to the Huge group! 😵 Can you say, Noooooooo distancing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as if that person is glued to the seat, they can move somewhere else anytime they please. We'll do our best to socially distance ourselves, and I'll see if we can have some hand sanitizer nearby for everyone to use after playing.

Mike45LC Posted October 19, 2021 #11 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I have an idea (probably a bad one). Talk to the CD about having some Cruise Staff person video and other host the group pull. Only a couple of people (the puller and the record keeper) present at a time. The "host" and/or record keeper explains the concept of a group pull, all 40 puller's pulls are filmed, and then the record keeper presents the results. All of the group members might be in a lounge for the video to be aired, and it could be on the ship's TV channel, to introduce the wider audience to the concept of a group slot pull. I've never done a group pull. I signed up for one once on the Roll Call, but we were too busy doing our own thing to show up for the group pull when it actually happened.

Chad_O Posted October 19, 2021 #14 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Our slot pull was a delight during the Majestic Aug 15 Alaska sailing. We had a really fun group of people. I hope yours is a success as well! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jwattle Posted October 19, 2021 #16 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I believe that several months ago they came out with protocols that included no groups spectating or loitering in the casino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ombud Posted October 19, 2021 #17 Share Posted October 19, 2021 That wasn't observed in August so maybe that's where the confusion comes from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
