Sky Casino

[RoperDK]

We are cruising in a few weeks on the Eastern itinerary.  I haven't heard too much about the casino.  I understand that it is open while at Princess Cay. I also read that it is open at 5PM on the St. Thomas day (the ship leaves at 10PM).  Can someone verify that it does indeed open on those port days. That is very unusual. Also, is it true that the casino is non smoking on formal nights? Nice!  I am a slot player.  Is there a nice selection of popular slots? My DH plays table games and Texas Holdem.  Is there a live Texas Holdem table on the Sky or is it electronic?  Any info is appreciated. Thanks!

We recently enjoyed the Sky for two weeks.  You need to watch the Patter and your medallion app as it will let you know the hours of the casino.  I cannot remember Cays or St Thomas hours sorry!  Most of the time the casino is closed until 30 minutes after sailing but I do remember a couple of ports where the casino opened early.  My husband and I both like to play slots.  Our biggest surprise was the dollar amount to get any bonuses.  Most machines were $5-$8 and a couple as high as $10.  Hardly no low dollar machines plus none I recognized.  There were some no smoking nights again not sure which ones. We did enjoy the casino and if Emil is still there, exceptional bar service.
