Is the casino still open in Roatan?

[RoperDK]

I heard that the casino was usually open in that port, but that Royal might be changing that.  Any current cruises have any info?

I have never known a ship to have open casino in any port that I have sailed. That is with 30 cruises under our belt but maybe there are some exceptions.

The Casino on Royal Caribbean ships have a license to open in Roatan, Dt Maarten & Bermuda.

Maybe people are like me and assumed it was closed when it looked deserted.

Very possible as there is a lot going on these days. Some guests still don't know that the Casino is open for slots from 8am in & noon for tables in CocoCay. Believe it or not some crew don't know either. LOL

I can confirm, unlike most ports, in Roatan, the Casino has always open up a bit after noon and while still docked in port.

During COVID they didn’t open the tables until a bit later solely due to crowds and staff.

But the last 12 months and 4 cruises to Roatan on Allure out of Galveston, tables (cards) are open mid day each sailing on.

So glad it's still open in port.  I haven't sailed to Roatan in quite a while on Royal.  We enjoy the port casino days.  Much less crowded and free drinks to boot!  We've been to all of the Caribbean ports so many times that we don't venture off the ship in every port anymore.

Correction, 3PM on the early Oct 

I 100% get it. The first dozen times off the boat in Roatan were great. I'm retired and most sailings are solo. My preferred entertainment is at a Craps table (low house edge). When taking breaks, the ship offers more things to pass time over a land Casino. 

Here are the published hours on Allure 7 days sailing out of Galveston. This sailing was Roatan (Day 4), Costa Maya (Day 5), then Cozumel (Day 6).
