Hawaiian Cruises

[Nkelly14]

Can anybody tell me if the casinos are open on the Hawaiian cruises?

Sorry, there are NO casinos on-board the Pride of America, Aloha or Hawaii. It is the Hawaiian laws that restrict gambling, no bingo either. :eek:

The Wind that sails out to Fanning Island has a casino, Monte Carlo.

The waters of Hawaii extend 1500mi around the islands. NO gambling is allowed inside these waters. So even Princess, RCL, etc must shut down the casinos at the 1500mi mark - or about half way between LA and HI.

 

NONE of the NCLA ships have casinos. I am not even sure the Wind gets out of the 1500mi range to use its casinos either.

I've never heard about a 1500 mile boundary. Princess, Carnival, and RCL all operate their casinos when they're between islands as far as I know (as in sailing from Maui to Oahu for instance). But it's true that NCL is restricted because of their agreement with the state of Hawaii and will not operate their casinos (or will not install casinos on Hawaii based ships) while near Hawaii.

I don't think the 1500 mi is correct either, we just did a 14 day circle Hawaii on RC, the casino was open every night between islands.

If I had the chance to sail NCLAmerica I would, I don't gamble so it's no big deal for me not to have a casino! :D

Thanks for the info. My husband will have to find something else to do in the evenings instead of donating to the casino:)

The Wind does not have a casino on its Hawaii cruises. There are no machines or tables and the space is used for the art auctions and professional photos.
