Just finished my 5th cruise in March. Most cruise ships I've been on, including Carnival, are 8D, poor pen, H17, no surrender. While there may not be much to do on a cruise ship, I rarely place a bet on these tables.
Yea - going on a cruise with the wife in May...figured the games would be horrible. I think I'd rather spend my time in the pool or at the buffet instead of the terrible BJ game...
I just got back from a 7 day cruise and won $1,755 playing green. It really isn't any worse than AC casinos. Its all about pen. If you don't get the pen you want, just read Burning the Tables and make your own. It works!
If you don't mind pming me the ship you were on, I would be extremely grateful. The last carnival cruise I went on, the only shoe game was the carnival game. The rest were CSM.
