Carnival Casino open in Freeport port??

[KI Cruiser]

I am going to go to the Dolphin encounter in Freeport - but hubby doesn't want to go. Does anyone know if the ship's casino is open while in Freeport? Is there a casino close to port that he can go to?

I have never, in over 20 years of cruising, heard of a ship's casino being open in port. Pretty sure the cruise lines promise not to compete with shore based activities. And it is illegal in many countries.

No the ship casino is closed but there is a very nice casino at Lucaya. We had a great time there a few months ago.

Casino is closed while in port. I think they open 30 minutes after you sail

Thanks all...that's what I thought ...but wanted to be sure.

The shuttle vans that pick up at the port and take passengers into town drops them off at the front door of the Isle of Capri casino, across the road from the Lucaya market. It's about a 20 minute ride, and I can't recall the fare, but something like $5 or so.
