Monte Carlo....is there time to gamble?

[Tyhanry]

Hello!

 

We're booked on the June 14 Mediterranean cruise which will be stopping in Cannes.  It's only there till 4 pm.  The casino opens for gambling at 2 pm.  It's a tender port.  Will there be any time for gambling?  We plan on booking the excursion through the ship which does mention having some free time to visit the Casino.   Has anyone done this who can offer some advice?

 

Thanks!

 If you ship sails at 4 PM as you write, you will undoubtedly have to board the tender at least at 3 or 3.30 PM. Travelling by train from Monaco to Cannes is about 1 hour, so that makes 2.30  Walking to station in Monaco and to the tender in Cannes takes more than the 30 minutes left from 2 PM, opening time of the gambling in the Casino.  Excursion offers maybe just a visit of the Casino, as it opens at 10 AM,  Better for your wallet.

Thank you so much for this information.  And you’re right!  I’ll definitely save money this way!

We lived there and never entered the Casino for gambling. As inhabitants we just profited from the Casino, no tax etc etc. 😉  (However, DH was glad his job sent us back to the Netherlands with the high taxes....🙂).

Isn't it amazing how gamblers always win (or so they say) and also manage to finance countries, cities, etc.  Puzzling!

when we went there, the casino was open, but no tables were open, You could play the slot machines, and there was someone in the cashire cage. the Casino struck me as tiny. I think smaller than many ship casinos.

For us the highlite of the Casino visit was watching the "self cleaning" toilet seats.
