    I have never heard of poker on a cruise ship other than on a designated "poker cruise." This might have changed since the cruiselines will have been given a sneak preview on the popularity of poker -- they have been running poker cruises which now take up the WHOLE ship!


    Happy Canada day! :canada:

    yeah, I've only heard of the WPT event being a full on poker cruise. Sounds like a dream vacation to me... ship+food+women+poker=OVERLOAD!!!

    I was on 2 Carnival cruise ships, the Pride (2003), the Legend(2004) both ships do not have poker tables in the casino. Sorry....

    no poker on the boat (carnival miracle), which resulted in me dropping a few hundered in the casino.

    i did find a small $0.50/$1.00 with some people one day but otherwise nothing


    fun part was the pit boss trying to convince me i was the first person to ask about a poker table. instantly two other people from tables within earshot heard 'poker table' and asked did you say they have a poker table.

    i know space is scarce, but damn they should add two hold'em tables.

    Thread, Carnival does have poker on certain ships at certain times. Go to PokerKruises.com They are also at cheaper prices than can be found elsewhere.

    If there is no 'official' poker on your cruise, I would suggest talking to some of the people working on the cruise. When I was in Halifax, there were a few staff from one of the cruise ships that has docked (one guy was a dealer and the other an actor) who played cash games amongst themselves.

    Good luck and have fun.

    while i'm sure you're joking, unless you're playing 100/200 or something i doubt you would want to pay the access charges, i don't recall the exact charges, but they were really expensive
