Cruise Ships
Greetings,
Any tips on playing on Cruise ships. I see there is a place on the ship I'm going on called the Seven Hearts Card Room. http://travel.travelocity.com/ecruise/Sh...174&deckId= Do people organize poker games in the Card room? I'm going on a Royal Caribbean Mariner of the Seas Cruise ship on August 18th to the 25th.

Re: Cruise Ships
The 7 Hearts Card Room is for self dealt bridge, no poker there. However, I hear that the larger Royal Caribbean ships generally do have LHE poker. I played a 10/20 game on a different RC ship. Here's an earlier thread discussing poker on Royal Caribbean.

If it goes to showdown every hand.. I guess they must be taking nearly 100 BB/100 hands... Is this rake beatable? How can people earn a living playing on cruise ships??? Do they organize private games?
