Trip report, Royal Caribbean radiance of the seas
4 night cruise, I was a bit unsure what bankroll to bring because I have a tendency to bring 1200ish for one session that could get blown through in an hour 😂
What I found was this- one table, 10 min, 3-4-5x, and generally the table was always full. As you’d expect, everyone there to have a good time, majority seemed to be relatively new players with a few experienced players. Most nights it was the same players which I thought was pretty cool/fun. Dealers were mediocre on payouts but all friendly. I say mediocre on payouts because I don’t do anything crazy on my presses but sometimes I’ll half press 2 numbers / sisters and they’d get confused or pretty slow, and I had to correct errors a few times. Even once they almost paid me 1:1 odds on a 5 or 9 point hitting. Never any issue, everyone was cool.
With this type of setting I found it pretty easy to relax my temptation of betting too heavy and was able to actually have fun with small little $300 buy ins. With full tables (slow action) and everyone in good moods, a $300 buy in could last all night long. Over the 4 nights, the dice were mostly balanced, no loaded dice like they use at hard rock Tampa (lmao), plenty of solid rolls and never got crazy ice cold. Tampa will have hours of no one hitting a point. Overall won money on the cruise. Played almost everything they had (UTH, roulette, BJ, slots), was up on UTH and craps and overall.
Also the ship was mostly lame as far as other activities and the pool was trash so I def was just wanting to mostly gamble 😂
