casino questions

[Skimby]

We are travelling on Explorer of the Seas:

 

 

Do you know if there is an additional fee if we use our Sea Pass instead of cash?

Also, do you know which gaming tables are offered on EOS? I heard some ships have been trying out texas holdem- Is explorer of these ships?

 

Lastly, I'm assuming gambling on a ship is not like a real casino- no free drinks, correct?

 

Thanks!

I'll respond to #1 and #3:

 

We were able to just go to the casino cashier's window and get cash "for gambling" that was then a charge on our SeaPass. No ATM fees, no ship's fees, and if you are paying your final bill with your credit card, you receive any "points" or goodies that your credit card company gives. My recollection is that there is a maximum of $2000 per day this way.

 

No extras in the casino, no. They'll be happy to SELL you drinks, though!

 

Good luck!

I'll try to answer question 2.

We saw Pai Gow, and Caribbean Stud .... but not Texas Holdem. They had blackjack and roulette and craps, and more card games that I've actually never seen before. :)

And, if you have the MBNA RCI credit card you get double credits :D

 

In case you didn't know, the cost for Bingo is $35 per person/per session. The final jackpot on the Navigator was over $10,000 :)
