cruise ship machines

[Joel_Fink]

They gave me one also. I had read that all of the boats going out of the states issue W2s so I wasn't surprised when I got one.

Last year they had downgraded the 41 DDB at the bar from 8/5 to 6/5. Do you know if that's still the case?

Thanks
joel

tables and advantange play. I expect I will play mostly craps,

will have my laptop with winpoker on it and a set of Dancer cards
just in case there is a playable game.

The following is from carnival's Ocean Players Club

"Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA)
Formerly International Council of Cruise Lines (ICCL)
Cruise ship casinos operate in international waters and are not
subject to any particular gaming jurisdiction. However we are a
member of the CLIA and adhere to their policy for Gaming

Guidelines."

For all we know, CLIA is located in IRAN
