Wish it could have been for the same weekend. Have a great time! Hope you like Princess as much as we do. I've not been on the Caribbean, but assume it will be much like the Emerald only one deck less. I hope they have the Black and Blue Onion soup, I'll pay the cover charge just for that!
I'm going because Princess is offering 6 cruises to enter tournaments in. This sailing was the closest for me. It's a chance to win a free cruise and a share of $100,000. I know I don't have a snowball's chance in hades, but it's a good excuse to go on a cruise!
Have a great cruise, Penny! I'll be interested to hear how the Caribbean compares to the Emerald. Oh, and don't get lost--they both have the same number of decks.
ahhh...Penny...i just got that brochure in the mail the other day for the "qualifying" cruises. I'm a hold em player and was VERY intrigued by this cruise. UNFORTUNATELY, we will be in CA that very week (which is the one we wanted to go on). Maybe the eastern Caribbean one in Oct, BUT...we just took an east Carib cruise, ugh. I am very interested in the particualr cruise ur going on, so plz let us know when u get back how it was. Where do u stop on that cruise? How do they format the tourny? What time r the tourny's? have lots of questions!! tx!!
Thanks Rick, I thought the Caribbean was one deck less. The Emerald looked a lot larger than the Caribbean when we left port, probably just an optical illusion. Kkontny, my voyage only goes to Princess Cays and back. I was thinking about doing the Texas hold 'em and the slots. I'm not lucky in Black Jack at all. Slots are totally luck of the draw, but they're fun. I'm wondering about how they're going to do it as well. Surely it won't be like the tournies they have on normal cruises, but you never know. I'll tell you all about it when I get back.
I figured it was probably to the Bahamas. I've done slot tourny's before...agree they r fun, but boy do u ever need to be lucky!! Have fun (which I know u will) and I cant wait to hear how everything was set up. And good luck!!! Maybe I'll see u on tv next year for the WSOP!!! (gotta win twice tho...thats tuff!!)
I think one of the top prizes for the Texas Hold 'Em was a slot in the World Poker Tour. Now that's some serious cash! I just don't think I could go all in with a couple of million dollars.
