Brilliance of the Seas casino questions

DH and I are sailing on the Brilliance in February. This will be the smallest ship we've been on so far. We enjoy playing 3 card poker in the casino as well as slots. Can someone fill me in on what the casino is like? Do they have 3 card poker? Is it difficult to get a spot at a table/slot machine? I know that can vary depending on each cruise, but does it feel crowded in general? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

They do have 3 card poker. It is a very popular game, so at times it could be difficult to find a seat. Not a slot player, so not sure about that. I sailed Brilliance twice this year and usually played Ultimate Texas Holdem. Always found a seat...maybe not my favorite spot :)

Don't know anything about the casino but love the Brilliance and all the Radiance class ships. Don't forget to try out the pool tables.

Thanks! We're looking forward to it!

I just booked my second time on Brilliance. While it is my fave ship out of Tampa and far prettier than the competition, the casino is MUCH smaller than others ships and lines. I did well last time but I really enjoy gambling and had a lot of difficulty getting my favorite machine. That is the one thing I was was different - a larger casino!

We have been on the Brilliance a couple times, the last was in April. I play 3 card also. Yes, it can be difficult getting a seat, especially if you arrive right after dinner/show. During “off” times it usually isn’t a problem. The casino is small & the tables are too close together. The chairs are big, hopefully they have changed them out so people can walk through the tables without bumping into the players that are seated. I know it sounds like I’m complaining a lot, I am because the casino on the Brilliance could use some improvements, that being said, I still had a fun time in the casino & playing 3 card.

Radiance class are hardly "small" ships...they are pretty big! Just not mammoths like Oasis! We didn't find the casino too crowded, but perhaps that's because the dealers NEVER lost.....I swear, the odds were so in their favor it was uncanny. Plenty of slots on our sailing...didn't win anything there, either! Good luck!

we just got off the BOS this week....yes, we found the casino to be small...but adequate. hubby & I are both Club Royale members so we spend most of our time in the casino. The slots played pretty well this time. After 7 pm, it was hard to get on a poker machine and the 3 card poker table was busy. Fun time...only complaint was the smoking as people to not adhere to the non smoking signs. Don't both purchasing any of their scratch offs for $5.00. We bought 35 total and did not win even a dollar!!! Go early and have fun!!

I think Marylou answered the OP's question in post #2. Most cruise ship showers a re very "customizable". :D
