I have read many reviews and found hardly any of them cover the casino, so I'll only write about it.

Join the players club for free and get a coupon book. If you sign up before the casino opens there is no line. This includes coupons for matchplay at blackjack, craps and roulette, an ace to use as your first card anytime at blackjack with a bet of $5 to $25, buy two $5 chips and get one free, buy $15 slot play and get $30, and a $10 matchplay coupon for poolside blackjack, which I was unable to use due to bad weather. I did not understand this because the weather was beautiful, then I figured out is was too windy. Oh well.

Tournaments: they have a slot and blackjack tournament, $15 buy-in, prizes depend on the number of players. When I went, the slot tournament paid $337 for first and only prize, all finalists got a tee shirt and free drink. Blackjack tournament paid $117. Qualifying rounds for both are held first, third, and last night of the cruise, 6:00 for slots, 7 for blackjack. Finals are an hour later the final night. So, if you qualify early on, check the boards before the final qualifying rounds to see if you were bumped in case you want to re-buy because there is only one final table of six, same goes for slots. TIP: The highest score from each round goes to the qualifying board, so try to get in the last round for the night which usually won't be filled. On my cruise, there were three rounds the first night, the first two full with six, the third only had two people. So one of those qualified with a much lower score than some of the losers from the earlier rounds. Read more
