Ray,
Just for your info. That cruise is using Techtables with no dealers. It is
not considered a real tournament by many and is a bit misleading. Very few
poker cruises run a real "big chip" tournament.
We do on our cruise and anyone is welcome to book it. Once on board you
simply show up in the tournament room and register.
