I think either GDX or youself once posted that not everyone can sail... by invite or membership? only big rollers? but what if you are a tourist visiting wanting a flutter?
Pam
Pam, you raise a very good question. As I have not sailed with Princess Rowena as yet, I do not know how their free tickets and food works. I would imagine that there is some "catch" to all this free stuff . I do inted to try the ship later.
Regarding your statement about membership, that was in reference to Asia Star, where you must be a member first in order to sail. Good point also about if someone just wants to take an overnight sea voyage and not do the casino routine. I am also interested to know this and will do my best to find out.
The fact that the poster is only in Chinese (seemingly) will prevent many passing non-chinese tourists to the ship.
BTW,Mike, I thought you had written, a long time ago on this topic, that the entrance to this gambling ships is guarded by strong men, who can decide not to let people on board ?
J
Johan there are indeed men at the tender embarkation points where tickets are sold also, who can refuse the sale of tickets to anyone whom they deem not fitting.
