Rare aggie182 Posted March 29, 2022 #26 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I'd have been disturbed as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MistyRo76 Posted March 29, 2022 #27 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I'm by no means a proficient gambler - but do enjoy my blackjack time in the casinos on the ships and on my occasional trip to Vegas! Once I one about $1500 playing the Texas Hold 'Em table game (beginners luck on that one!). But I was extremely nervous cashing out that much. You just never know what people may do. No way would I have wanted to share a window with someone else. I would say this practice wouldn't fly in any land-based casino. I would definitely elevate this to someone higher up at Carnival to address throughout their fleet. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilchuckie Posted March 29, 2022 #28 Share Posted March 29, 2022 It‘s a safety issue. I don’t think you’re in serious jeopardy for that amount in today’s economy but you never know. A guy was followed home and robbed/killed from the Hollywood casino in Columbus, Ohio due to lax procedures like this. Allegedly he begged for a check and they wouldn’t comply. The gaming operator owes it to its us to keep us safe. I don’t play there anymore. This story makes me think twice about playing seriously on a carnival ship again.

They're definitely people who would knock you in the head for that amount of cash - let's just hope that they're not on the ship with you, or down by that much and desperate!!

4hunters Posted March 29, 2022 #30 Share Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) You are spot-on in your concerns, Tom. The cages in Vegas would NEVER share a window between two guests, regardless of the amount of $$$ involved. And the typo in the thread title makes me laugh now that I know what you were trying to say. 🤣 Edited March 29, 2022 by 4hunters 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, no reply/action - they just looked at me like I was an troublemaker. ... Darn - I spy another typo... at one point I had another word at the end (starts with A, throw in a couple of S's, and ends with E), but that didn't seem appropriate. I suppose I could have used a John Heald word: Arse Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did the cashier know they were widows.? Is sharing them around with guests part of his/her job description. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keels81 Posted March 30, 2022 #34 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Similar thing happened to me on the Breeze last month. I moved over to the "window" where I was waived, but hung back a little bit and turned my back to the transaction in front of me ... kinda like you'd do in line at an ATM in a crowded space like a bar or music venue. It didn't really bother me, mostly because I was just cashing out slot winnings off my casino bank so I could take the cash down to GS and apply it to my S&S (that's a beating in itself, but I digress). I do wonder if it's more of habit/muscle memory from lots of people during the day buying scratch-offs and scratching them right there so they don't have to wait again to cash them in than a change in protocol. But I wasn't holding a handful of chips, so it didn't bother me. The people with the scratchers clogging up the cage windows has been increasingly annoying on the last three sailings I've been on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely would have said "step back" and insisted he do so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momof3cruisers Posted March 30, 2022 #36 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I’m honestly shocked that anyone would think this was acceptable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
