18 years old in Casino for Alaska cruise?

[Jim Henry]

I thought I read somewhere that when on the Alaska cruise you have to be 21 to be in the casino. Is that just when in port or for all sailing times? Are we ever in international waters on the northbound cruise Vancouver to Seward?

[YubaSutter]

18 or over anytime the casino is open.

The Ship Casinos are not open when the ship is in port.

Yes the casino will be open once you leave a port -- usually about 1/2 hour after leaving the port the slots will open. Your daily "On Location" program will list the times for the slots to open as well as when the tables will open.

From HAL's website:

 

 

Persons under the age of 18 are not permitted to gamble or loiter in the casino and proof of age may be requested.

 

The slots are VERY unfriendly, in my experience.

Agree. Slots very tight on the statendam. But minimum bet of $1 on roullet was great! I won about $50:)

Most usually this is true but we've been on HAL ships in Curacao when the casino has been opened in port when the ship is sailing late. Curacao (sometimes ?) grants HAL ships permission to open the casino in the evening.

 

I think it is done as a nice courtesy to the Dutch connection. :)
