FSU85 Posted August 25, 2013 #1 Share Posted August 25, 2013 This will be our first Oceania cruise and we are booked on the Marina, sailing October 9th. My husband usually likes to play blackjack in the casino when we cruise. Judging by the ship specifications, the casino looks like it's fairly small. Is the casino a popular venue on a typical Oceania cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted August 25, 2013 #2 Share Posted August 25, 2013 The ship is smaller than some of the mass market lines ;) It will depend on the passengers & if they like to use the casino On a b2b the first cruise we could not get near the casino ..2 nd leg it was wide open hardly anyone there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare PaulMCO Posted August 25, 2013 #4 Share Posted August 25, 2013 If I remember correctly there were 3 blackjack tables each with a different minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the casino a popular venue on a typical Oceania cruise? On our Marina cruise a year ago, there were several different card game tables, roulette, craps, and many slots. On sea days there were black jack and Texas hold'em tournaments, sometimes both on the same day. The R ships do not have a craps table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimandStan Posted August 26, 2013 #6 Share Posted August 26, 2013 On our Marina cruise a year ago, there were several different card game tables, roulette, craps, and many slots. On sea days there were black jack and Texas hold'em tournaments, sometimes both on the same day. The R ships do not have a craps table. On the Marina class of ship, the Casino consists of two distinct rooms, separated by a Bar and a corridor of slot machines. Blackjack is a staple in any Casino, but except for a flutter of activity in the after dinner hours, the tables are seldom busy. Sea Days and after dinner on most evenings there is a flutter of activity, but otherwise a small group of hard core players are in attendance.

vistaman Posted August 26, 2013 #7 Share Posted August 26, 2013 the casino is a lot smaller as on Crystal and is not so busy on the Riviera during a Caribbean the tables were empty from time to time; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSU85 Posted August 27, 2013 Author #8 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Thanks everyone! It seems like it might be hit or miss, but his chances of having someone to play blackjack with are greater on sea days and after dinner. Perfect! That's when he likes to play!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corpkid Posted September 5, 2013 #10 Share Posted September 5, 2013 The casino on our Baltic cruise was almost always empty. Didn't help we were in port almost all the time (it's a very port-intensive area) and everyone was exhausted from all day tours in Russia, etc. Kind of a bummer as I like to play black jack too, but this was not the cruise for it (and I was ALSO very exhausted getting back to the ship well after midnight). I think it really depends on the itenerary... It was a very nice small casino for a ship of that size (Marina). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
