Mississippian Posted April 18 #1 Share Posted April 18 I'm looking at a 12-day British Isles cruise that looks interesting, but the ship pretty much hugs the coast of Great Britain. Do they manage to get far away enough from shore to open the casino? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cr8tiv1 Posted April 18 #2 Share Posted April 18 If at all possible, you can bet the Captain will take the ship into international waters so the casino $$$$$$$$$ can operate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandawithdogs Posted April 18 #3 Share Posted April 18 I believe they only have to go about 12 miles off shore to be considered international waters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cr8tiv1 Posted April 18 #5 Share Posted April 18 You can learn so much from Google. https://www.casino.org/blog/gambling-on-cruise-ships/ In the United States, you need to be 12 miles off the coast, whereas in the UK, you need to have embarked on a journey into international waters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandyoftheseas Posted April 18 #8 Share Posted April 18 We went on a British Isles cruise with Princess in May 2018 and the casino was open every night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare karatemom2 Posted April 18 #9 Share Posted April 18 No worries, the Casino will be open and happy to welcome you and your investments. My DH got plenty of gambling time in the evenings on our British Isles cruise, although he was one of only a small handful of craps players. He managed to close the table down a few evenings rolling in to our cabin just a few hours before I made him rise and shine for another full day of touring on our very port intensive cruise. But he was a good sport and I allowed him to snooze in the tour vans between stops! 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JamieLogical Posted April 18 #10 Share Posted April 18 Considering I recently got an offer for a free British Isles cruise through Player's Advantage, I am pretty sure they expected me to gamble onboard! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like we are getting the same offers. I was thinking about the 16-day Britain and Iceland cruise, but the 12-nighter looks more interesting, even though it will wear me out.

The 12 night is a great cruise and we loved it but the port intensive schedule takes stamina. We did it following 4 fully action packed days in London, and we saw and did so much that I sometimes still wonder how we fit it all in. It was exhausting, but so worth it. One of our best travel experiences ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
