CrusinSally Posted January 26, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) Hi All! We are on a BB (NB Vancouver to Seward and then back) in late May on the Radiance. I have looked high and low, called several times, but I can't get a straight answer - Is there gambling on an Alaskan cruise? If so, when and where? Thank you for your help!

erinsmom03 Posted January 26, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 26, 2023 There is gambling in the casino on deck 6, generally the casino is open at sea, not in ports. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tin can Posted January 26, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 26, 2023 We are doing some research into an Alaska cruise and from reviews I have read its been mentioned that the casino opening hours are sometimes restricted as the ship doesn't get far enough away from the coast for them to be able to open. There is definitely gambling though as I've seen it on Youtube videos, if they can get it open I'm sure Royal will do everything in its power to do so 😀. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loungelady55 Posted January 26, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 26, 2023 They are open and have a lot of my money. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mil76 Posted January 26, 2023 #5 Share Posted January 26, 2023 As a bonus if you are from the US, some of the big US banks have branches in the Alaska port towns so you can go and deposit your winnings so you don't have to drag all that cash around. Best shore excursion ever! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tlbecker1 Posted January 26, 2023 #6 Share Posted January 26, 2023 We have cruised Alaska several times and we are currently on the Radiance. The Casino will definitely be open during your cruise on deck 6. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Casino was open as long as we weren't pulling into port and while in port. The only exception, they did not open the casino again when we left Victoria on the way back to Seattle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best shore excursion ever! Even better, you can withdrawal lots more cash to fund the casino activities on the cruise back down south! 😀 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. Other than leaving Seattle when the casino will open after dinner, the casino is open shortly after leaving each Alaskan port. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, just checked the compass that I saved and the casino is shut when it arrives in Victoria and then that's it apparently no gambling on the last night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if you prefer not to go on shore, the ship has those guaranteed slots that you put your bank card in and get cash back. Those are my favorite slots, always win. But, then those other stupid machines take it back again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
