Opening rhythm
Field note: the casino opens only after departure when vessel field rule, itinerary and applicable laws allow. It closes in ports and restricted territorial waters — hours are charted aboard and may change with navigation
The room at sea
Onboard casino: operating notes
Field note: a composed physical lounge with trained dealers, visible limits and straightforward permission rules
Entry and account
Field note: guests must be 18 or older and present accepted identification. Staff may repeat age verification. The casino cashier desk establishes a casino account and explains settlement procedures
Tables and dress
Field note: table limits are posted before play. Dealers can explain house procedures and casino etiquette. Refined evening attire is welcome — practical dress guidance appears in the daily onboard note
Access decisions
Field note: casino permission may be limited by staff. Gambling should never use borrowed funds, and the expedition ticket is not a gambling balance
