On return, the casino is normally closed on the last day as you approach and enter Canadian and Washington State waters for arrival in Victoria. So, it will open between 8:30 pm and 9:00 pm.ĭuring the cruise, the casino will be open shortly after leaving each port. On departure from Seattle, the casino won't open until you are out of Washington State and Canadian waters. Is the casino open on an Alaska cruise like it is on a Caribbean or Mexican Riveria cruise, open shortly after leaving each port and closed while in port of course? I would love to hear from recent Alaska cruisers who are casino cruisers as things change over the years as we noticed on our recent (just disembarked Sunday) cruise from NOLA where the casino opened as soon as we pushed away from the dock in NOLA and every post stop there was no 3/12 mile wait for international waters rule.

My husband and cruise yearly and even though we live an hour and half from the Seattle cruise terminal we have yet to sail to Alaska but we are looking to book this summer on the Bliss to Alaska.

I have searched this forum and the internet, and I can't find recent actual cruisers who can tell me when the casino is open on an Alaska cruise, there is a lot of guessing but not actual firsthand knowledge.

When does encore casino open
