Thanks for your response, Dave. It has been years since I devoted much action to video poker until recently, but I remember playing NO Harrah's. These days I consider it something of a sin to waste time in NO gambling. Rather be filling my face with char broiled oysters and crusty bread or seeing a good band.
A few questions about the Jewel... Were you able to draw cash from your ship account which would later be reflected as a regular charge on your credit card?
There's usually not much for me to do on a ship's casino, so I tend to pass time with their tournaments and poker game. I assume they had these? Dealer or electronic table? Rake? It's usually huge.
Good on board entertainment? Good or bad experiences in ports?

One bitter sweet thing was they can now open the casino on the Jewel immediately upon leaving NOL and keep it open all night of the return even though you are not in international waters for 8 hours. They now have a special exemption. The bad side of that is the payouts on the ship are the same as all ships, which is terrible, so you will loose big on the ship if you gamble a lot.
I sure do hope they don't downgrade the remaining good VP and slots in NOL.

The host couldn't go into details, but she told them that there are some "big changes" coming after the first of the year and they will greatly affect video poker.
