Princess uses 12 foot tables.  The casino is open 24 hours for slots, but the crap table does not open until 9:00PM.  12 foot tables have very little space between the passline and the wall, practice your target throwing.  Also, they had 2x odds last year, don&#8217;t know about this year but I will also find out early February.<br \/>\n\tPlay the GTC commandments, and tip the dealers, they will be your friends among all the quick show offs.

The dice have always been regulation and most of the tables are very good. Check out the table by feeling the felt, tapping it with your fingers, or even throwing some dice you bring with you (though I would be careful on the last option). This should tell you a lot about the table. You can also watch what happens to the dice as others throw them.<br \/>\n\tProceed with caution. You should have a good time.<br \/>\n\tJerry<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> ColorUp on December 19, 2012, 12:08 am<\/p>\n<div>Been on the Inspiration many times.<\/p>\n<p>\tIt is a regulation table.

Usually on RCCL or Princess (a division of Carvival) We will be on a Princess ship  in 2 weeks.  <\/p>\n<p>\tThe other posters have made great suggestions. I find the odds are usually only 1x or 2x.  Therefore I use place bets  if it is not a bouncy table. I do not go on cruise to play craps, but do partake as required<\/p>\n<p>\tAlso go to the upper left on the site and put in the box &quot;Cruise ships&quot; and you can see past posts re Cruise ships.<\/p>\n<p>\tEnjoy everything on your cruise, it is a great way to travel.<\/p>\n<p>\tCC Roller<\/p>\n<p>\tPS: If you are a shareholder of CCL (Carnival) or Royal Caribbean (RCL), you can get onboard credit $$$ depending on lenghth of the cruise.  Just google the cruise line shareholder credit.
