Liberty casino cashier - sharing single widows w/two guests...

[aggie182]

I'd have been disturbed as well.

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.

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!!

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. 🤣

... 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

I really can't stop laughing at it. How did the cashier know they were widows.?

Is sharing them around with guests part of his/her job description.

Hmm. Okay. I play slots and the surplus ends up on you S&S card. Yes, Carnival sends a check for that.

Slots yes, table games no.

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.

I’d tell the guy behind me to step away.  if that didn’t work, then I would try telling  the employee to get someone else higher up or walked away. 

Definitely would have said "step back"  and insisted he do so.

[momof3cruisers]

I’m honestly shocked that anyone would think this was acceptable.
