Default Are slots updated in Island casino?

Would someone who is either on the Island Princess now or cruised on her recently tell us whether or not the slots in the casino have been updated to those that allow you to use your cruise card or do they still use the old ones that take only money to play?

This will help us decide how much money to take or whether or not to buy casino credits in advance.

Thank you!

Yes. They are updated for cruise card use.

I know from first-hand experience they will take your cruise card and a lot more.

Hi All,

Are you able to use your card fleet wide or just on the Island Princess?

Thanks,

Dave

If you are talking about your cruise card, each card is only for that specific cruise. If you are talking about whether or not the entire fleet has card operated machines, well, no, the Pacific still doesn't have it. I'm assuming that the Tahitian/Ocean may have installed them and perhaps the Royal too.

Default I think all the Carnival ships

now use the card in the casinos. Too bad they can't convert the winnings to OBC's for your next crise based on your membership #. Then you don't have to worry about cashing out the last night.
