april47 Posted May 6, 2012 #1 Share Posted May 6, 2012 The 14 day Alaska cruise has 9 port days that I know the casino will be closed. The ship skirts the coast so I'm not certain it would be open even while cruising. How far out does it need to be? Anyone know the normal hours for this cruise. I'm actually not a gambler but sometimes the slots "call" to me. It would actually be good for it to be closed as much as possible. Just curious:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted May 6, 2012 #2 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Usually the Casino opens about 30 minutes after sailing. On sea days it will usually be open all day, but mornings can be very quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncgolferette Posted May 6, 2012 #3 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I was on the 14 day cruise the summer of 2010 and I believe that the casino was open on the days that we were skirting the coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catl331 Posted May 6, 2012 #4 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Whenever possible the ship will get 12 miles off-shore in order to open the casino. As CruiserBruce said this takes about 30 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watson's aunt Posted May 6, 2012 #5 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Hi The casino closed Wednesday night regular time (day 13) and remained closed. On Thursday when we sailed into Vancouver. It did not open again. This was due to regulations. I believe its Canadian law. Mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as you need to play the slots, Hal needs to take your money :D have a great cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
