VillainsGin Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 IM SAILING ON MY FIRST CRUISE NEXT WEEK!!! ALSO FIRST TIME OUT OF THE STATE!!! AND IN THE AIR LOL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Does anyone know if there are tables for ultimate texas holdem on symphony of the seas? Also anyone advantages gambling with cold hard cash or with seapass card linked to your credit card? (in terms of tracking your points) Is there anyway to pull funds out of seapass card linked with your credit card without paying a fee? (Since everything is so digital and cashless I figured bringing cash to gamble leads to a lot for risk) Are there any cash games in the casino? Although I don't want to be charged a fee just to pull cash out from my seapass card I also don't want to carry a wad of cash around with me. Anyone ever hit any big hands or jackpots on tables or slots as well? Any other gambling tips/suggestions/advice are more than welcome as well! Warmest regards!

WAAAYTOOO Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 1. Yes, there will be live tables where you can play a Texas Hold ‘Em. While I have not yet sailed on Symphony, my guess is that there will be 2 such poker tables. They usually run a $2/$5 cash game which has a horrendous 10% rake (max of $15 per hand). There will also be poker tournaments throughout the cruise. 2. Royal Caribbean casinos are cash only so ultimately all gambling will be in cash. Tracking (for rating and points purposes) at the live tables is a voodoo dance that nobody quite understands. Tracking on slots is much more straight forward and quantifiable. 3. Until you have achieved at least Prime level in the Royal Caribbean casino players club (called Club Royale), it will cost you 5% to get cash from your area Pass card at the casino. So you will have to decide whether it is to your advantage to carry cash with you or pay the 5% overhead. Hoski and VillainsGin 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the detail answer, always appreciate too much information rather than too little. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
