Want to do take a gambling vacation but don’t want to spend all day in an air-tight, slot machine mausoleum? Consider taking a cruise….
A cruise ship vacation provides a great alternative to brick-and-mortar casino vacations. For those travelling with little ones, cruising offers a means of satisfying everyone’s tastes. The gambler in you will enjoy the casino; your wife may enjoy the ship’s shows; and your kids will have fun simply splashing around the ship’s pool.
And with today’s cruise ships offering everything from ice skating to bowling to rock-climbing to child care services, your gambling breaks will be as exciting as hitting the jackpot…well, almost as exciting.
But how do you choose the right cruise ship casino holiday for you? Not all gambling at sea experiences are the same, which is where Casinoagent.info comes in. We’ll steer you towards the cruise ship, the cost and the itinerary that best suits your needs. Below is a brief summary of a few of our favorite casinos currently setting sail.
Royal Caribbean – Oasis of the Sea
Slated for launch in late 2009, Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas will boast not only the largest passenger capacity in the world, but the largest Casino at sea. With 450 slot machines and scores of popular table games, the ship’s aptly named Casino Royale will be its entertainment hub. Added bonus? Guests enter the casino via a walkway that doubles as a Museum of Gaming.
Cunard Cruise Lines—QEII
The QE2 remains the fastest ship in the cruise industry, with a top speed of about 30 knots. The Queen Elizabeth 2 casino hosts 11 table games: five blackjack tables; two roulette wheels, two poker games, one craps and one Punto Banco table. It also boasts 79 slots. Ocean Players Club members earn points that can be put towards discounts on future cruises and cash back rewards when playing table games on the Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth.
Norwegian Cruise Linesa
Gambling aboard Norwegian Cruise Ships is neither flashy nor fabulous. Slots and standard table games are on offer—except for on the Pride of Aloha—but do not attract a “serious” gambler crowd. Casual gamblers will not likely be bothered but this and may consider Norwegian’s freestyle cruising—no designated dinner times and dress codes—a worthwhile tradeoff.
