CarolRoy Posted September 18, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Just saw this at Celebrity. Onboard Casino New Hours - 7 days/week - 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Cannot believe this. Don't they make money in the casino any more. I do like the casino. It is a source of entertainment for me (playing the slots). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted September 18, 2022 #2 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I highly doubt this. Especially since they can't have the casino open when in ports. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Georgia_Peaches Posted September 19, 2022 #8 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Anybody on board currently who can attest to new hours of operation? I just can't imagine that Celebrity would close themselves out of a casino donation from passengers after 8 PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlbertaCruisers Posted September 19, 2022 #9 Share Posted September 19, 2022 9 to 8 Eastern is the new phone hours for Blue Chip Club. I wonder if that is the confusion. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlbertaCruisers Posted September 19, 2022 #10 Share Posted September 19, 2022 If this is what the Original Poster was referring to, this seems clear to me to be the hours to call for offers, not the hours of the casino on the ship. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. Celebrity's U.S. website looks different that what you posted. Nowhere is a phone number listed for Blue Chip Club. Once again, Celebrity's IT dept. is consistently inconsistent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlbertaCruisers Posted September 19, 2022 #13 Share Posted September 19, 2022 (edited) Yeah, I see the wording on the first page now as well, my guess is that is a mistake. I think they are referring to the new shoreside phone hours of Blue Chip Club, but it is very badly set out. I would be extremely surprised if they start closing onboard casinos at 8 pm, that would lose tons of revenue. This is confusing and is hopefully incorrect: Edited September 19, 2022 by AlbertaCruisers 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwlane Posted September 19, 2022 #17 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I read that as the hours to sign up for Blue Chip offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Georgia_Peaches Posted September 19, 2022 #18 Share Posted September 19, 2022 We aren't huge gamblers but we do enjoy the casino in the evening after dinner or before a show. I read this headline to DH and his response was, "If that's the case, then cancel our March cruise and book on a different line." I feel like that would be the sentiment of many passengers. A huge mistake on the part of Celebrity if true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgee Posted September 19, 2022 #21 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Please please do not get so excited over this. The hours would have to apply to the offices of the Blue Chip Club. Casinos on ships do most of their business at night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NutsAboutGolf Posted September 19, 2022 #22 Share Posted September 19, 2022 As a casino player, I can assure you the casino makes money. 1 hour ago, CarolRoy said: Just saw this at Celebrity.

It is a source of entertainment for me (playing the slots). The page is confusing and wrong but as a casino player, yet what I highlighted is quite a leap to an assumption. I can assure you they make money and if they lost money they would simply shut it down completely vs reducing the hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
