tms054 Posted July 10, 2008 #6 Share Posted July 10, 2008 We were on the Mariner in March and played on real tables. They have tournaments a few times a week, check out a Compass for the intinerary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CedarburgCruiser Posted July 11, 2008 #8 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Was just on the Mariner over the 4th of July and there was no live dealer tables for poker, only the one computer table. Make sure if you are going to play you have at least 4 people at the table because the 10% rake is a little steap. Other then that it was fun.

Kikkycat Posted July 23, 2008 #9 Share Posted July 23, 2008 A question on onboard poker tournaments. I saw a Compass for AOS, which we are sailing on in late January. The tourney was for 6pm after the day in St. Maarten. Does anyone know how long the tourneys generally run? DH is a poker player (and I play from time to time, although much prefer blackjack and video poker) and when I mentioned this tourney to him he wondered how possible it'd be for us to make our 8:30pm dinner seating.

csk Posted July 23, 2008 #10 Share Posted July 23, 2008 we on the Mariner in February this year, and they had a texas holdem tournment for the week, it was a $50 buy in and you played different days, and the winners from the days, played on the final day for a seat in there poker cruise on the Freedom Dec 14th. My husband won, we get a free cabin on the Freedon and he gets a seat on the cruise, they said possibly playing for $150,000, I think they have tournment each week from all their ships and the winners play off on Dec 14th.

moofus Posted July 25, 2008 #12 Share Posted July 25, 2008 So are all the tournaments done with the computerized tables... no real dealers? I must know, as I would love to get my husband a buy in. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
