Does anyone have any preferences of casinos with decent poker rooms on cruise ships/lines?

My family's planning a cruise next fall (in carribean), and that's my one holdout-stipulation.

Can you give specifics on games, rakes, tourneys, etc?

Thanks.

I have never heard of a cruise ship with an actual real poker room. I have been on several that had PokerPro tables. They have all been $1/2 NL and the rake was 10% after a certain amount.

Carnival and Norwegian - games are very soft.

I am not sure about the max-rate.

I do not know of any ship that has a poker room( other than Poker related trips). I know some have the poker pro tables like Deb says . Last cruise I went on was 3 years ago on the Norwegian line and they had one table for holdem poker Limit $1/2. They did do one night of turbo SnGs.$5.00+1.00 Entry
There was 8-10 regulars that played everynight and we kinda just waited for the fish or first timers to show up.Kinda like Rounders on a mini scale. The House took a rake from every pot. For the week I was up about $110.00.

Going on next cruise Next Month- May on the Celebrity Solstice(all payed for by my Hockey Pool Winnings) (soon to be a thread)

So looking forward to it ....and would be estatic if they have a poker table.

This will be our 6th cruise

Have been on Princess and Carnival. Carnival had Pokerpro tables with outrageous rake. Princess had a set up in the "cigar room" every day, kind of sit n go/cash game when 10 players joined started 1/2 NL games, Basically run by the players not the ship
