Ship casino Bermuda...

[Cruisesfun65]

I don't know if this is a Carnival question or a destination question.

When you're on a cruise to Bermuda and the ship stays there 3 days, will the onboard casino be open during those 3 days???

Google says: Bermuda's Parliament has given the green light to cruise ships keeping their casinos open while overnighting in port on the island. Members of Parliament in Bermuda approved the Cruise Ship (Casino) Act 2013, reports the Royal Gazette newspaper.

Someone may be along shortly who has cruised Carnival to Bermuda with their first hand account. Hope so.

We've done several cruises to Bermuda on Carnival which included overnights, and each night the casino opened at 9 PM. 😎

Now how did I know you would be the "someone" to come along and share a first hand perspective?  🙂

Bermuda allows the casino to open at night, if the ship purchases a license to do so. If the ship is sailing regularly to Bermuda, odds are good they will get the license. If its a one off sailing, they might not.

We’ve been to Bermuda twice, they sail from Port Canaveral every now and again, so not a regular cruise. Both times the ships casino opened at 9 pm.

I only point it out because while the likelihood of the casino opening is good, its not a guarantee.

Point well taken but none of the major cruise lines will allow that major cash cow, the casino, to stay closed any length of time for the price of a permit.

Years ago the answer was no entertainment nor casinos nor shops.  Today yes however with civic I do not know. No plans to sail till at least 2022

Well, as of my last visit, still no shops, but there was entertainment.

I'm so glad I read this thread as we have avoided Bermuda cruises thinking the casinos would be closed while in port. Good to know they are open, but we would first made sure before booking.
