If its really port intensive it won't be open much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissDave Posted July 10, 2015 #4 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Not sure of the itinerary but the ship's casino is generally open when at sea.:D If it's British Isles then probably closed more than open as the ship often does not get out of British waters. Even when going to the med it is a minimum of four hours after leaving Southampton before it opens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aw that's a shame I like $20 in the slots after the show, oh well more time for relaxation and will save a little :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking that may be the case, like ships here (Australia) have to be outside the 12 mile zone to open the casino, but wasn't sure of the British law in this regard. In my experience, they will try and have that casino open as much as possible as it is a great revenue earner for them and the passengers like to spend time there. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
