Only 2X odds. Tough to make a lot of money, but came home on the up side. Had lots of teen and 20&#8217;s rolls with one 42 roll. Most of the players had little to no experience or primarily play on cruise vacations. I thought of the table time as great practice at a low cost for AC.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>Replies:<\/h3>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> getagrip on December 24, 2018, 7:13 pm<\/p>\n<div>Glad you came home with a win!

Filled my spot and the one next to me with red and greens.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tReally great dealers and supervisors on this ship.<\/p>\n<p>\tThe month before this cruise on a more premium cruise line I had a terrible craps experience.<\/p>\n<p>\tThis cruise line had 3-4-5 odds.<\/p>\n<p>\tTried to play my first night and found out this was the worst craps game you will ever experience.<br \/>\n\tWhy is that?<\/p>\n<p>\tBouncy table.<br \/>\n\tNasty pit supervisors.<br \/>\n\tBefore playing we were given a lecture on their new rules of craps????<br \/>\n\tRules<br \/>\n\tBoth dice must hit  the back wall.  I thought no big deal on that.<br \/>\n\tAfter that the pit boss installed 2 Go Pro cameras at the middle of the back wall on each side of the table and then turns them on to watch our every move!!!!<br \/>\n\tNot too friendly.<\/p>\n<p>\tMy turn &#8212;<br \/>\n\tFirst throw, set the point.<br \/>\n\tNext roll point. Stick says NO ROLL!<br \/>\n\tHe states both dice must hit pyramids. One hit pyramids one hit ramp. A ramper is a no roll.<br \/>\n\tRoll again hit the point.<\/p>\n<p>\tNext roll hits table one die goes straight to back wall the other hit the wall on the curve. NO ROLL.<br \/>\n\tI give up.<br \/>\n\tPlay video poker.<br \/>\n\tDealers shared my frustrations.Only 2 or 3 people played for the rest of the cruise.<\/p>\n<p>\tCan&#8217;t say which cruise line is the good one or the bad one.<br \/>\n\tBut I will in take a PM if you have questions.<\/p>\n<p>\tColorup<\/p>\n<p>\tJohn<\/p><\/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> HardNine on December 26, 2018, 6:15 pm<\/p>\n<div>Colorup,<br \/>\n\tI actually like the rule of no roll on a shorty.  I&#8217;m much more likely to roll a 7 on a shorty, so good rule for me, as long as it&#8217;s consistent.  The go-Pro?  Not cool, very much agreed, absolutely absurd.  Could you PM me the ship name?  I&#8217;ve got a couple booked, and want to make sure I don&#8217;t go on that ship any time soon!<\/p>\n<p>\tDon<\/p><\/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> MasterBlaster on December 26, 2018, 9:03 pm<\/p>\n<div>Hard Nine,<br \/>\n\tI just messaged with ColorUp over that same question and fortunately Little Debbie and I don&#8217;t use that cruise line. We did a cruise out of Japan a few years ago and the craps table never opened. They said it was due to the short amount of time that the boat would be &quot;outside&quot; Japanese limits and it just wasn&#8217;t worth them bring all those extra dealers for a few hours of play.  At least I lost nothing.  Next August Debbie and I are cruising out of South Hampton for 2 weeks on that same cruise line and I hope all the countries we&#8217;re going to allow casinos.  That bottom line for all is that casinos are for making money and cruises are to relax, drink and party don&#8217;t be disappointed when they both don&#8217;t coincide. <\/p>\n<p>\tTom<\/p>\n<p>\tMasterBlaster<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spent ten days on a cruise to the Caribbean.
