Cruise where the casino is closed

My wife had A bad gambling addiction but we do like to cruise . I'm wondering if anyone has ever heard of a cruise to a destination where the casino is closed as to avoid the temptation

casinos are closed in most ports. disney ships do not have casinos.

I believe casinos are closed during cruises around Hawaii, even when out to sea. That was the case back in 2002 - not sure if that's still the case. Check NCL, as they have a ship in Hawaii full time. Hawaii is beautiful!

Disney - or if on a ship where there is a casino, ask her if she would want to attend the friends of bill and jimmy meetings where support is offered

Maybe set up her S&S card so she can't charge on it?

I know they do that for the kids when requested.

Take a Disney cruise! No casino = No temptation! :D

NCL round trip Honalulu and Disney as others have said.

River cruises don't have casinos either

Disney

Casinos are open on the Hawaii cruises coming and going from the mainland and between each Hawaiian ports.

Disney cruises are more expensive as a general rule, but in your case, it may be cheaper.

Maybe river cruises? Or the smaller, upscale lines like Seaborn?

Not too sure if these have casinos or not.

The NCL Hawaii cruise that was suggested is the one that cruises around the islands, not the ones that do a 14 day round trip. The 7 day Pride of America only sails the islands and there's no gambling.

Seabourn and the other luxury lines have casinos.

Disney, Pride of America and riverboats don't have casinos.

Always wise to check with the cruise line.

The only times I have seen casinos closed have been when it was required by certain countries. For example, there was a period a few years ago when Chile required ships sailing off its shores not to have the casinos open. This was in effect for a year or two but does is no longer in effect today.

It is truly the exception.

British Isles. Ships are not allowed to open their casinos when in British territorial waters.

We just sailed on a British Isles Cruise and the casinos were open about one hour after we left each port.

Personally I think Disney may be best.

Good luck to your wife with beating this monkey.

Seabourn ships have casinos, as do Silversea.

Additional lines without casinos:

Ponant ships have no casino. Ponant is French, but has international passengers and crew. Some of the German Aida ships have no casino, but the line is completely geared towards the German speaking market, however at a much lower price than the small ships of Ponant. Hapag-Lloyd's Europa 2 has no casino and offers some international cruises. I am pretty sure that expedition ships have no casino. The freighter/passenger ship Aranui in French Polynesia has no casino.

You may have to think out of the box and look at small ships for travelers instead of large ships for pleasure cruisers.

The NCL Pride of America does 7 day cruises around the Hawaiian Islands. I believe they are all round trip Honolulu. Hawaiian law prohibits gambling on them.

These are NOT the 14 or so day cruises that go round trip fro the US west coast. They allow gambling on the cruise between the mainland and Hawaii and back. They do not allow gambling while in Hawaiian waters.

Disney has no casino on board at all.

All other ships the casino is only closed while the ship is in port. about 3-60 minutes after pulling away from the pier, it will be open until about 2 am

Star Clipper ships also do not have casinos.

The ships are in Europe in the summer, and the Caribbean in the winter

Aloha,

There are several Southern Gospel charter cruises on Carnival each year. On these cruises the casino and all bars are closed. Prices for these cruises seemed to be 2 or 3 times more expensive than other cruises.

If you know you have a problem......it is best to stick to a line that has NO casino. No point in dicing an issue of when it is open or when it is not open. You stated " you and your wife have a gambling problem". So stick with a line with no casino.

That pretty much tells you where the cruise lines make their money! :eek::D:p
