Casino.

Having never been on a Fred Olsen ship...does the Bolette have a casino. Some say no and cruise mapper says yes on deck 5.

The Fred Olsen site deck plans show the former casino area as being part of the Morning Light pub and lounge with no casino. There is a card room but that is not for gambling. As far as I know Fred Olsen don't have casinos. Still cruising with them this summer though and i will get my Blackjack fix on P&O a month later.

We don't use casino on any ship but on Bolette there was a card table that we walked past in the evening, for the life of me I can't remember what games they had just know some people were betting and had casino chips! It was near the Morning Light lounge, Sorry can't be more helpful 😂

They had got rid of the very small casino tables post COVID, but last I heard in November, they had re started a trial one on Balmoral only.  Not sure of the current situation, but you could ring head office and ask.  Very little interest for casino services on Fred, so unlikely to be much there, if any tbh.

We’ve been on  quite a few FO cruises and never seen a casino as such but I think I recall seeing a rather lonely roulette wheel. Can’t recall if that was on Bolette or not.

You don't say which country you are from. So assuming that it isn't the UK, you need to be aware that the ability to gamble is commonplace in the UK - with lots of betting shops on  the high street, and lots of online gambling firms. So the ability to gamble on a ship has little interest to most UK customers.

Yep, that sounds about right for Fred.

Just done 124 days on Bolette. There are about 10 slot machines but no gaming tables.

I’m surprised; I don’t recall ever seeing slot machines on a FO ship, and we were on Bolette last year.

Yes we were on last year as well and there were not any slots. Something new?
