I think the tables were 100Rps minimum. Great night out. Once you get on the boat all food and drink are free. Get off when you want as they've got a launch. Usually the last off :oops:

Thank you all for your help, sounds like a great night.

Last question, is there any minimum age for this, as my son will be with me and he is only 17?

They'll let him onboard but minimum age to gamble is 18....
There is roulette, blackjack, 3 card stud poker and 5 card stud poker as well as the usual slot machines.

Even though it says no ID is required, I've always been asked for it and you'll need it to change money. No shorts or open sandals were allowed last time I went.

:) yep, you have to look smart. I only take my flip flop things so had to wear my long dress and they didn't question me but probably couldn't see them!

Hya we took our 17 year old earlier this year to the Caravella and he was NOT allowed on board. Was told that only on the afternoon cruise were under 18s allowed. :!:

They have 1 night when the minimum stakes were 50 rupes used to be a wed, if you need to change pounds into rupes you will need passport, and not a good rate, best to take rupees with you, no shorts, no sandals for men unless leather[ just what we were told on entry last time] and dont go with gooner fan he is a bad luck charm.

My boyfriend has been nagging me to go to the Casino Boat for the past 3 years. We are also in Goa from 27th Jan - 17th Feb and are thinking of going for a trip on the Boat.

Is anyone else interested in going ? 13th - 15th probably not a good idea with it been Valentines, and best avoiding the weekends.

We could pick a day, and wear our HT wristbands, or Red Carnations ( or whatever for those, like me who don't have a wrist band)

Anyone Interested - Lisa
