Rare CineGraphic Posted September 9, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 9, 2022 We've decided to stray from Princess, and will be sailing on the Scarlet Lady for 9 days in October. All of the reviews I've seen on Youtube seem to just breeze right through the casino to show you yet another eating venue. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also be interested in learning something about the casino there (although still pretty leery of the line in general). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't wait! https://youtu.be/25Cq5Ls11Lg They came out so strongly in marketing to young people, the only person over 30 was the super old guy that owns virgin 😂 Seriously though, my initial reaction it was it it was almost anti-traditional cruiser. But I’m definitely willing to keep an open mind, would be interesting to know what their casino is like. A gambling friend who is Master’s level on RCCL who was on in August didn’t like the ship, but did like the food. Post an update after your cruise 🙂 Edited September 14, 2022 by AlohaLivin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KXZ1498 Posted September 14, 2022 #5 Share Posted September 14, 2022 The casino is VERY small. About a quarter of the size of a Celebrity casino. 2-3 BJ table, 1 table of each carnival game. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare CineGraphic Posted September 17, 2022 Author #9 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Am I correct that the small smoking section is actually a separate room? I believe I heard somebody mention that in a video review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do present a comprehensive review after your cruise! I'm beginning to wonder just how much time we'll actually spend in the casino since there will be so many new experiences on board to distract us. We don't cruise to gamble, but on Princess, we do partake enough for a decent discount, a bit of freeplay, and the occasional free cabin. We normally host a group slot pull with folks on our roll calls, but the VV roll calls are graveyards compared to the other lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I think they’re starting to set up their Casino loyalty program so maybe they may give you some comps for a lower level of play…… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was saying why do that if your casino is very small. Pretty valid question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunken Crab Posted January 18, 2023 #20 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Hello- Thought I’d jump in and answer all the questions that I could. I cruised on her about a year ago and I’m booked on the VL next month. Yes, the casino is small compared to a mega ship. There is a smoking room that’s off the main floor with 6-10 slot machines and a few poker machines. Poker isn’t my jam, so didn’t make note of the number of machines. The room is more of a smoking room that happens to have slot machines. If that makes sense. When I sailed there were less that 500 passengers on board and the casino was rarely too busy. I was able to win 2 hand pays, which was nice. I was on a casino-comped cruise and they treated me very well. Free drinks in the casino and some nice gifts. I’ll try to answer any other questions the best that I can!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
