SHIP TRAVELER

I agree 100% with the OP. I consider the casino part of my on board entertainment. On our last Princes cruise there was three line 7/5 Bonus Poker for 10 cents. It was so fun to play and we broke about even. On our last X cruise, it actually felt like there were bad chips in the Video poker machines. I know they are not regulated but really no winners, in 14 days the two of us playing here and there every day, we only had five four of a kinds. No one was playing the long line of video poker machines. If video pokers rates are bad, the slots are always worse in same casino in my experience.

We were recently on the Reflection TA with out a drink package (lift and shift). We were not on a casino comp cruise. When a server approached us were able to order free drinks while playing. We never tried for anything fancy so don't know what limits are. I did notice that they always asked for your room number, I would say, "I thought drinks were free?" and they would reply that they are free IF you don't have a package so I assume they want to charge the drinks to package if they can.
