Poker Tournament Schedule for Dec 5th Oasis

[chicy724]

Anyone have info, or know how we can find out the schedule for the poker tournament on the Dec 5th Oasis sailing?

 

Our friend is in it, and we are trying to plan our cruise, to include dining experiences. We just aren't sure if the tournament will be during dinner times and thus, he may not be able to attend with us.

 

He tried calling RCCL and they couldn't tell him much. He believes the tournaments are only on sea days... but that's all he heard. And may not even be accurate.

I was on the Freedom in 2012 when the World Poker Tour had a tournament onboard. It was held in a private room and I was told by an attendee only players were allowed in. It was my understanding it was an all day event but I don't recall any specific times mentioned.

 

You might find out who the sponsor is and contact them for more.

Did he call Club Royale at 888-561-2234 or did he just speak to someone at RCI, who may not have any info on the tournament?

 

From my experience, Poker, BJ & Slot tournaments are held in the afternoon on sea days and have never seen or heard of tournaments being held during dinner times.

My HD was in the tournament on the Allure in 2011. You should have and email address or a phone number on the paper you received when winning your seat in the play. They emailed my HD with a person to contact for cruise information. Everything to do with the cruise went through that person until we were onboard. On the big ships you want to have reservations for the shows and it is truly impossible to book them with your player friend/spouse. They will not assign play time until you board. They play in the evening. This is why we could only have 5:30 dinner or MTD. Some only have the one evening play (players that lose), but my HD was in for a couple of nights and one was formal night. What I did, I had friends on the cruise with us and I attended the shows I wanted with them. I made reservations for my HD, but while he was in the play he could not attend. They had a wonderful private party for the players and spouse/companion. It sure was a lot more relaxed cruise after he lost. They played late into the night. I think is why my HD came in 28th (in the money) he was tired. :rolleyes: I don't know if I can help much, but if you have questions I will try to answer.

Thanks for the info! I will have to ask him who he called. I am not sure!

This is the year end championship. Not the normal tournaments. I will be playing also and asked the casino host for more information on times but they are not yet available. The tournament will be several days long and many hours (assuming you run deep). There will also be cash games going.

Your correct, I forgot it's the $25,000 Master Tournament 1 and Tournament 2 is the following week also on Oasis.

 

Good Luck to you!! :)

Check out the role call for that cruise. I will be on that sailing and checked it out myself, and they were talking about the poker and bingo tournaments that week. The roll call is not very active, but you may find a person in the know there.

I called a week ago and they were supposed to send me the info. Haven't received it yet so was planning on calling tomorrow.
