Jackpot at Sea: Diamond Princess Is the Crown Jewel of Cruise Casinos
- The stunning Diamond Princess of the Diamond Cruise International is considered the World’s Luckiest Casino Cruise, according to a study by Gambling.com, scoring a lucky review percentage of 17.1%.
- In #2 is Wonder of the Seas, operated by Royal Caribbean Cruises (15.6%), and to round out the Top 3 is Infinity (Celebrity Cruises) with a score of 12.2%.
- The Emerald (Princess Cruises) sits in #4 with a score of 10.1%, just ahead of the Queen Elizabeth (Cunard Cruise Line) #5 at 10%.
- Big M Gaming LLC and the Azura (P&O Cruises) finished at #6 and #7 respectively with lucky review percentages of 9.5% and 9.4%.
- The lower end of our Top 10 features the Victory Casino Cruises at #8 (8.8%), Wind Star (Windstar Cruises) #9 (8.6%) and the Riviera (Oceania Cruises) #10 (7.9%).
Considered Florida’s most authentic Las Vegas-style gambling cruise experience, the Victory Casino Cruises had the most reviews that contained “lucky keywords” overall – with 133 – but due to its larger review quantity, its percentage is lower than seven others.
Casinos on cruise ships offer a unique blend of high-seas adventure and high-stakes excitement. Nestled amid luxurious amenities and sweeping ocean views, these floating casinos provide guests with a chance to enjoy classic games like blackjack, poker, roulette and slot machines, all while sailing to exotic destinations.
Over time there has been a gradual modernisation of ship interiors, offering customers more and more amenities. Casinos are a special feature on many of the most major modern cruise ships, with varying degrees of style, scale and luxury.
A flutter at the casino could light the fire on an exciting evening of entertainment. Winning big will justify a trip to a five-star restaurant at the next stop, or a hot streak on the blackjack table could allow you to treat yourself to a spa treatment onboard. So, this got us thinking, out of the many casinos on the world’s cruise ships, which is the luckiest.
To find out the World’s Luckiest Casino Cruise, Gambling.com analyzed Tripadvisor reviews of the world’s best cruise ships with casinos for keywords of luck, lucky and happy. We then calculated the percentage of reviews with lucky keywords each cruise casino received, before finally ranking them by their Lucky Review Percentage.
Diamond Princess: The Luckiest Ship at Sea
The stunning, Diamond Princess of the Diamond Cruise International is considered the World’s Luckiest Casino Cruise, according to our research. The ship has a Las Vegas-style casino that offers the latest slot machines, blackjack, Texas hold ’em and prize tournaments. Operating across Asia and Australia, the newly refurbished ship is a treasure trove of exceptional delights waiting to be discovered.
The Diamond Princess scored a lucky review percentage of 17.1%. At #2 is the glorious Wonder of the Seas, operated by Royal Caribbean Cruises (15.6%), and to round out the Top 3, we have the Infinity (Celebrity Cruises) with a score of 12.2%.
These ships are more like floating cities that transport you to exotic locations. The casinos onboard feature slot machines and table games, including blackjack, roulette and poker. Whether you are a first time gambler or a professional, both vessels will cater to your gambling needs.
Lucky at Sea: Cruise Casinos That Win Big (#4–10)
- The Emerald (Princess Cruises) sits in #4 with a score of 10.1%, just ahead of the Queen Elizabeth (Cunard Cruise Line) #5 (10%).
- Big M Gaming LLC and the Azura (P&O Cruises) finished in #6 and #7 respectively with lucky review percentages of 9.5% and 9.4%.
- The lower end of our Top 10 features the Victory Casino Cruises #8 (8.8%), Wind Star (Windstar Cruises) #9 (8.6%) and the Riviera (Oceania Cruises) #10 (7.9%).
Considered Florida’s most authentic Las Vegas-style gambling cruise experience, the Victory Casino Cruises scored the highest in terms of overall lucky keywords with 133. However due to its high number of Tripadvisor reviews it sits near the bottom of our Top 10.
