I returned from an 11 day Cruise to the Caribbean aboard the HAL Eurodamn. One port was skipped due to weather conditions, and one port I was not allowed off due to my previous employment. Of the ports that I did get to, there was NOT a single snapper in evidence nor any craps tables. One casino was slots only. Those casinos that did have table games, I purchase several of the lower denominations for fellow collectors (as posted yesterday), and will post more as I get to them.
Concerning the ship itself, there were NO new chips to be had, and in fact some of the hcips that had been available were no longer in evidence. All of the No Cash Value Chips have been removed from the pusher machine and ony a couple of drilled dice were left to be won.
Tournaments were limited to poker and they used the electronic table, so no chips - and of course you had to use your room key to play (along with the slot machines), so no chips there. A single roulette table, but the chips were the same as before.
I did manage to scrounge a drink card from someone who had use up the amount on the card, but it is the same as what was already posted. Playing cards were the same, but they do have non-casino playing cards (for free) that are given out for those who want to play cards in places other then the casino. I will be adding this to the guide as time permits.
The only "collectible" of any sorts was a magnet available in the gift shop that had details concerning the ship. This too, while posted here, will be added to the guide as well.
Next trip (3 Feb - 3 March is off to Australia with stops at casinos and Harley Davidson dealers in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Perth, Adelaide, and Alice Springs.
