taecruise2 Posted June 6, 2011 #26 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Has anyone ever been to the casinos in Aruba or Curaceo Just wondering if they are worth taking the trip from the ship ? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobincleb Posted June 6, 2011 #27 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Wow - old thread! In general, Princess sips have a craps table. The floor plan is a representation, not an actual diagram of the layout. Which ship will you be cruising on? I've sailed the Coral and the Crown and both of them do. They didn't get really heavy action on my cruises, but they were open nightly. Shalom, Andy. We'll be on the Coral in July travelling from Whittier to Vancouver. It will be our first cruise. I'm an avid craps shooter when I get the chance to make it to Vegas or Shreveport, but haven't heard much about craps on the boat. Do they allow hop bets?

AndyTheK Posted June 6, 2011 #28 Share Posted June 6, 2011 (edited) I sailed the Coral about 18 months ago. At that time they didn't allow hop bets. Odds were 2X - no "filling" (wouldn't accept $25 on a ten dollar line if the point was 6 or 8, for example). Table limit was always $5-500, max payout on prop bets $1000. The dealers were good and the game moved well. Smoking was NEVER allowed at the craps table (was only allowed on one blackjack table) and they had a few non-smoking nights. Was comped an occasional drink. The "casino host" (Bruce? Louis? can't remember) was a cold fish, never smiled and wasn't interested in interaction with the players. Floor people were OK. Sometimes had a boxman, sometimes not. Dealers quickly got to know our names and a few of them were a lot of fun to talk to, both inside the casino and out. Of course by now most of the casino crew has probably changed. On Alaska cruises there are some limitations to casino opening nights, which we didn't have on our Panama Canal transit. There are threads somewhere on these boards on that subject. I believe the Patter will have the information. Good luck, have fun. Andy.

AndyTheK Posted June 11, 2011 #30 Share Posted June 11, 2011 As a generalization. I never liked any casino in a Caribbean port. Neither did I like the one in Taba, Egypt. Haven't tried any in Europe, so I can't say anything about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Rose Posted September 16, 2017 #31 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Does anyone know if the casino on Celebrity Equinox has the slot machine "Hot Hearts"? That is my favorite machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyD1 Posted September 19, 2017 #32 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Does anyone know if the casino on Celebrity Equinox has the slot machine "Hot Hearts"? That is my favorite machine. I was on the Equinox in August. Don't recall a slot called Hot Hearts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scurvy Seadog Posted September 21, 2017 #33 Share Posted September 21, 2017 As a generalization. I never liked any casino in a Caribbean port. Neither did I like the one in Taba, Egypt. Haven't tried any in Europe, so I can't say anything about them. I haven't had much luck at any of the casinos I've visited outside the US/Canada either. The one exception being a small casino in Dakar, Senegal where I won a jackpot of 1,100,000 CFA Francs (XOF), equal to approximately $2,000 USD. It used to be fun telling people I won over a million on a slot machine. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
