\nIf you love craps, you should consider a cruise ship-the longer the better.<\/p>\n
\tMake sure you have taken a few tune ups from Mr. Finesse AND the Advanced Class from BTK NFF before you get on board.<\/p>\n
\tThe knowledge you have gained will come in play as you attempt to master the only table on the ship.<\/p>\n
\tAdvantage for GTC :<\/p>\n
\tTime is on your side. <\/p>\n
\tLow limits.<\/p>\n
\tFriendly dealers.<\/p>\n
\tCFrs do not stay very long after they 7 out.<\/p>\n
\tSame table for days not hours.<\/p>\n
\tEasy to get prime SL1 & 2 or SR1 & 2 positions.<\/p>\n
\tHints:
\n\tFirst few days be the first one at the table.
\n\tYou may be alone for a while so try your A- shot and adjust, evaluate your results.
\n\tAdjust lower, less spin, change landing zones until it looks good.
\n\tThink about what your GTC instructors would have said to fix a bad throw..
\n\tAsk yourself- what are the dice doing?
\n\t(I take a condensed version of my class notes to refer to before and after play.<\/p>\n
\tIt only costs you $5 to try a few different fixes.
\n\tOnce you get the results you want—time to increase the bets.<\/p>\n
\tIt took me 2 sessions to get the shot right.<\/p>\n
\tA nice 45 minute roll on day 2 .<\/p>\n
\tDay 4, one hour and 5 minutes!!!<\/p>\n
\tLots of action all week with some profits every day I played.<\/p>\n
\tIt is a really great feeling when this happens AND you are rolling repeat numbers – more chips have to be ordered , the table is running out!<\/p>\n
\tPlayers will skip their turn to get the dice back to you faster.<\/p>\n
\tWarning about cruise crap dealers-some are not the best at bet placement and payouts. Watch your chips!<\/p>\n
\tTip the GTC way, it goes a long way and is very appreciated by staff.<\/p>\n
\n\tAny questions about conditions etc for ships have to be PM .<\/p>\n

Posted by:<\/strong> HardNine on June 9, 2016, 12:31 pm<\/p>\n \tI very much agree! I love playing on the ships, and doing things the GTC way re: tipping, goes a LONG way. The dealers are the same, they get to know you, and they treat you noticeably different than others. My last had a group from a casino in San Juan, and although one couple was a little obnoxious, they were generally nice people, but kept to themselves, no significant tipping, and although I saw them at the table often, the crew never called them by name. To me, they’d call out from 30 feet away when I approached and were excitedly calling out when I came up to bat. We even had fun with a newbie dealer… 2 weeks out of school… and I was patient and encouraging to him, but yes, watched my bets closely! <\/p>\n \tI can’t wait for my next cruise! Though it’s over a year off, it’s a trans-Atlantic and I’ll have 8 days at sea on top of the 7 additional nights (once we’ve sailed) on port days to play!<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Posted by:<\/strong> Finisher on June 9, 2016, 3:52 pm<\/p>\n Posted by:<\/strong> NofieldFive on June 9, 2016, 3:57 pm<\/p>\n \tWay to go John.<\/p>\n \tNFF<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Posted by:<\/strong> HardNine on June 9, 2016, 8:07 pm<\/p>\n Posted by:<\/strong> CC Roller on June 9, 2016, 9:29 pm<\/p>\n \tRarely can you play in port, They have to be beyond the 12 or 20 mile limit before they can open the casino.

Google the cruise line re Shareholder Reward and see the shareholder reward. Some lines give $250 for 14 plus cruises., some only $200 . but anything helps.<\/p>\n \tMy dentist put me on to this a few years ago.<\/p>\n \tCC Roller<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Posted by:<\/strong> TheUsualSuspect on August 29, 2016, 11:49 pm<\/p>\n If you love craps, you should consider a cruise ship-the longer the better.

\n\tMy first ship did not have them but it has been retired for a few years now .
\n\tI like the food but not the weight GAIN . \ud83d\ude00 \ud83d\ude00
\n\tAlso shows are great every night with bingo some days .
\n\tSome really get hooked like taking 10 to 20 a year . When you get into it they Email real great deals .One time meet 4 people at dinner that was just coming off a 2 week one and this one was for 4 days and they were going on another 7 day when we got into port .They said that they had been on about 28 all together .That was when I found out that you can order a bottle of wine that they will keep for you to drink at every meal .They took turns buying it though out the cruises .
\n\tAlso meeting people from all walks of life is great .
\n\tGood Rolling. \ud83d\ude00 \ud83d\ude00<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n\tIf you can throw in those conditions you should be able to throw anywhere!
\n\tAre you sure it wasn’t the numerous Mai Tai’s you had been guzzling down?
\n\tGosh can those cruise ship put on a good table. The food is fabulous!!!<\/p>\n
\n\tGood Rolling. \ud83d\ude00 \ud83d\ude00<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n\tI do not go on a cruise to play craps (but will if time permits)
\n\tI like cruises for — Ports of call, shows, food, etc.
\n\tAlso check out Tripadvisor re pre and post hotels and esp for shore excursions. Hop on hop off buses are great to see a new city .
\n\tIf you are flying into Heathrow and need to get to Southampton check out the National Express bus , if time permits, about 1\/3 the price of the cruise line bus. Oh upgrade to the fex pass if you flight may be late. (We were on time)
\n\tAlso If you are a shareholder of the major line (RCI, CCL, NCL) you can get an onboard credit. Min 100 shares. 7 day cruise will get you $100 credit.<\/p>\n
\n\tLove the food and shows .
\n\tGood Rolling. \ud83d\ude00 \ud83d\ude00<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
