Casino closure

[chrob]

I have read somewhere that the casino remains closed at all times (even when at sea) when in a certain country but cannot remember which country it was.

Can anyone shed any light on this for me?

Hawaii would be one, and Bermuda while in port for three days. They are the only cruises I know about.

The Casino can only open when the ship is international waters.

hajekfam, not necessarily true that the casino is only open while in international waters. On our Summit Panama Canal cruise last February, they opened the casino while we were in port on a couple of nights. When we asked how they could open, we were told that they had special agreements with those countries and could open the casino while still in port. They opened the casino when we were still in Panama and in Acapulco.

Casino was open while sailing between the Hawaii islands.

Only closed in port.

I think they open the casino, three miles after they leave port. We left from Baltimore a couple of years ago on the Galaxy and that is what occurred. We were heading down the river and had land on both sides of us when the casino was opened.

Kitty, that's interesting, hope they do it when we sail in November. The casinos on all ships call me by name; they say, when I walk by, "come here Nita" we have something for you. Of course they rarely giveth me anything, they takest instead. NMNita

The casinos are closed the entire time the ships cruise along the coast of Chile since they never get far enough from the coast to be considered to be in International waters.
