Did they even have cruise sponsored poker games back then? I think that he's probably talking about a "private" game on a cruise ship.

I bet you're right. I quit playing ships in 2002, just before the poker boom and I'd be suprised if any but the largest ships have poker. The great god of the Sea is REVENUE!

The new dealer immediately won the next 5 or so hands. I didn't gamble the rest of the cruise.

I'm not saying at all that they don't micro manage to try and eak out every cent they can. Just won't re-arrange cards to do so. Those small day cruises scare me. they used to burn a lot and have the WORST captians afloat. Was on one that was banned from docking in Cozumel after he rammed the dock a second time.
