chrob Posted September 21, 2006 #1 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I have read somewhere that the casino remains closed at all times (even when at sea) when in a certain country but cannot remember which country it was. Can anyone shed any light on this for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurricaneSally Posted September 21, 2006 #2 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Hawaii would be one, and Bermuda while in port for three days. They are the only cruises I know about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitty9 Posted September 22, 2006 #4 Share Posted September 22, 2006 hajekfam, not necessarily true that the casino is only open while in international waters. On our Summit Panama Canal cruise last February, they opened the casino while we were in port on a couple of nights. When we asked how they could open, we were told that they had special agreements with those countries and could open the casino while still in port. They opened the casino when we were still in Panama and in Acapulco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ine Posted September 22, 2006 #5 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Casino was open while sailing between the Hawaii islands. Only closed in port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkjretired Posted September 22, 2006 #6 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I think they open the casino, three miles after they leave port. We left from Baltimore a couple of years ago on the Galaxy and that is what occurred. We were heading down the river and had land on both sides of us when the casino was opened.

The casinos on all ships call me by name; they say, when I walk by, "come here Nita" we have something for you. Of course they rarely giveth me anything, they takest instead.

Captain Cosmo Posted September 22, 2006 #9 Share Posted September 22, 2006 The casinos are closed the entire time the ships cruise along the coast of Chile since they never get far enough from the coast to be considered to be in International waters.
