  1. We did Cabo, Cabo, PV on the Miracle a couple summers ago. The ship left and sailed around a returned back to Cabo in the morning. Apparently they are saving on port fees and allowing the casino to operate. Makes me wonder what kind of port fees cost more than running a giant ship all night on a circle to nowhere! 

  2. I have found that they look especially annoyed when I "accidentally" kick their deck chair on my way past. I do add a cheery 'Sorry!' as I continue on.:p

    I was out there at 6:30 AM on Saturday morning and there one guy passed out in a deck chair - the deck is totally empty, but his chair is blocking 50% of my running lane

     

    so I do what any sane person would do, each time I run past him, I yell and scream

     

    after my third lap he was gone...

  3. It was no big deal to me, but my "mile" times for 4.5 laps seem a bit slow for the perceived effort.

     

    Running was interesting, with the ship going 20 knots into a 20+ mph headwind, it was like hitting a brick wall for every lap. But at least the headwind cooled me off.

     

    Some days the wind was much more manageable than others. A couple days in I learned to check the TV (channel 19?) to see how bad the wind was.

  4. I've recently been on Carnival and Princess. They will only allow you to make a 2X odds bet. You should also know that they don't have any hopping bets on the layout.

    Thanks, I'm a pass (with odds), come (with odds) and place the 6 and/or 8 (in $6 increments) kind of player. I steer totally clear of all the stuff in the middle of the board.

     

    When I'm winning I do like to hook up the dealers with a "yo for the boys!" Fun to yell it out too.

  5. Don't count on odds like you'd get in Vegas...there, I've seen mainly 5X's and even 10X's odds....You'll be lucky on the ship to get 2X!!!!!

     

    lots to 5X & 10X (even 25X) odds in Vegas

     

    the lowest I remember seeing when I was there last month was 3X

  6. I'm a frequent visitor to Vegas and enjoy craps and blackjack (and a few other games from time to time). My first cruise is coming up in a few weeks (Freedom of the Seas).

     

    I would seem that as long as they offer at least double odds, then a craps table is a craps table whether it is in Vegas, on a riverboat or in on a cruise.

     

    One of the things I always liked about craps is that the poor choices of others at the table have no impact on my bets. In blackjack you can be stuck at a table of rookies who split their kings and are afraid to hit, etc.

  7. well, i disagree.... i always play "wheel of fortune" - love it! and I on;y have 50.00 per trip usually to play $1.00 slots....

    I always come out ahead - and this last time on 20.00 - won 2500.00 woohoo!

    the 1st 2 - 3 nights tend to pay out more - don't know if it is our imagination or not..... but - we always come out ahead.....

    say it with me "wheel of fortune".... just makes you feel like a winner.... right?

     

    nothing like some anecdotal evidence to prove a point...

     

    I respectfully suggest that your experience is atypical - but that's awesome for you!
