  1. Back in 2017 we took a cruise from Venice that went around Santorini and Athens. It also stopped in Kotor on the way back.

    We embarked on May 21 and it was the perfect time. Spending a couple days pre-cruise was nice. When we returned a week later, more regular tourists showed up and the streets were more crowded.I always recommend Europe in the first two to three weeks of May. The weather was great and the tourist spots weren't yet crowded.

  2. I'm going on a Celebrity cruise in a couple week. Never gambled in an onboard casino. I have my travel credit card associated with my account and will use it with my shipboard card, but I don't want the casino to use that credit card as a cash advance for chips.

    Should I bring cash? If I offer an atm/debit card will they be able to use that?

  4. Late to the party but ...

    In May 2017 we took an MSC cruise out of Venice. Venice was great. Athens was great. Olympia was great. Kotor was great.

    SANTORINI was VERY disappointing. I was so accustomed to seeing the white and blue images in pictures the reality of all the brown cliffside and brown land BEHIND the town really disillusioned me to it. You can see my perspective in my very unprofessional pictures and the town just looks like any other place I have been. It reminds me a lot of Mexico.

    You asking about the table game or the actual poker table?


    What? I'm not talking about 3 Card Poker or Black Jack. I said Texas Hold 'Em

    OK...assuming you are referring to a tournament?

    On Edge last summer, ONLY cash games. 1/2 blinds, $200 max buy in.

    On Apex this spring we had 3 tourneys/day on sea days (1, 2:30 & 4). $60 buy in, 10 players max. We showed up at 9AM when casino opened to ensure we got seats. The blinds are INCREDIBLY fast. 10 min. Starts at 100/200 & basically doubles each time. 

    Cash games were all over the place. First they said it was 2/5 (WHAT? even in Vegas those are the minority). $200 buy in max..then it was $300, then $500. Got a bit rich for my blood. (may as well have been 2/5, was playing like 4/8...)


    I'm not. I mean a regular table. Does Celebrity not play Texas Hold 'Em regularly? That would be very disappointing.
