cruisenewbie91007 Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 Has anyone played holdem on a cruise? Can be any location. Just Curious what you thought of the game and when it was going when you played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmoose7563 Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 They usually have Hold'em tournaments on sea days for $100 buy in and at start of game have option to double your chips for another $50 which of course everyone on the table does. Usually top 3 pay out. As for cash games they usually are later in the evening. Casino host usually requires at least 5 players in order to allocate a dealer. I believe it was $2/$5. This was at least my experience on my recent New Years Eve cruise on Vision of the Seas. Not sure of others but on this trip some of the games got pretty serious in terms of the pots. cruisenewbie91007 and FoxboroCruiser 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolly Ogre Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 They had 2 tables going on our Dec Oasis sailing. But you need to check every night and then you better have a real good bankroll. There was a husband and wife team one night on one of the tables.

I'd love to see some degen monster pots. Ive heard its better in the beginning of the trips when people want to gamble more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
