I am a first time cruiser,,,,going on Century in Sept. a Mediterran cruise. Not a big gambler,,,,but will want to try my luck. Should I bring quarters or leave them home....not sure if I would be over my head....

Also,,does anyone know if there is a charge for WiFi in the staterooms and if so what is it. I saw that it is available on Century,,,

thanks for any and all input!

Can't answere your question about the casino - Husband took me there on our first cruise and I just wanted to see how fast I could lose the money he gave so that we could go and do some fun things. He realized that I enjoyed just about anything else than putting quarters in a machine or playing a table.

 

On to your question about wifi. Yes there is a charge for wi-fi actually the charge is for the internet usage. You must log into Celebrity's network in order to access the internet.

Might as well leave them at home. Don't know if they work in the slots or not, but Celebrity has very tight slots and you aren't likely to win anyhow, so can't see any reason to take "gambling money" with you.

 

There was a thread two years ago wherein it was stated that the pots that build up are cleared after every trip and brought back down to the minimum dollar amount. So even though nobody won them, they don't keep them over for the next cruisers.
