They had Texas Hold 'Em tournaments this past April. My husbabd took part in them.

Having been on many NCL ships, they all had NL Holdem poker tournaments on sea days.

Fwiw the ring game has a 10% rake. I imagine the tournament is just as awful.

Tournament is worse. After the break its ALL IN every hand as the blinds rise almost exponentially. I much prefer the evening cash games.

"Worse" is subjective. I agree both the rake and the structure aren't what you would hope for. But having cashed in 4 of the last 5 I've played, if you know how to play a Turbo Rebuy, I still think this is a positive expected value play for me. YMMV...

We got off the NCL Sun on May 25th. The table rake was 10% up to $25. Here in Las Vegas we usually stop at $4.
