I play the pokies and know to check the RTP (Return to player) percentages before playing so I know what percentage the machine is set to. (press I and then number 2). All machines in NZ and Australia have to have the % showing by law. Ranges from 86 to 94 % so the house always wins overall!

And this is where the warning comes in.... On board P&O Jewel, I asked staff why do the machines not display it - and what level are they set to. They refused to disclose the RTP rate. It is in international waters. I guess that means robbery on the high seas (without the guns, lol).

Anyway I know most people don't care about Pokie players- or how much they lose, but I think P&O should display the RTP rate or at the very least have a sign saying RTP is withheld from players.

Definitely a case of player be aware.

Hi, It's great reading everyones comments! I'm a newbie - first cruise in Aug. I've got an inside cabin because it was part of a package deal ... and I am so excited to be going on a cruise that any room is better than none And isn't there a chance of an upgrade??? who knows but my fingers are crossed...

I like the tip about turning on the TV to view the weather outside, will be sure to do that.
