Well, I'm just back from my first cruise on the Regal Princess. I'm was not impressed.
The cruise was a minor disaster. Although it was calm on land, it was windy at sea with 2 to 4 foot waves. The waves were felt as we left the bay and entered the ocean. It took an hour to get past the 3 mile limit and by then the boat was really rocking. Ship board announcements advised everyone to hold your chips in one hand and the boat in the other. We finally hit some big waves and after 15 minutes of gaming the boat turned back. Everyone was given a voucher for a free future trip. Many people got sea sick and several people were injured when they fell or were hit by falling objects ... mostly chairs. One croupier was knocked out for a short time when she fell back.
They were using the old chips which say Entertainment Cruises. Denominations are 50 cent (hot pink), $1.00 (orange), $5.00 (red), $25.00 (green) and $100.00 (black). All are RTP with the same center insert, blue with a large green alligator, except for the denomination. 50 cent chip has a smaller CI.
