Cruise passengers from the
UK gamble an average of £146 in the casino during their holidays, according to
a survey.
Four out of five passengers
head for the gaming tables and slot machines during a cruise, and a quarter
come away regretting their losses, according to the study carried out for
online travel agent bonvoyage.co.uk.
Not surprising when the
2,759 people questioned revealed they came away with an average of £58 each.
Fourteen per cent of those
using the on-board casinos had never gambled before and a further 23 per cent
only went along to keep their friends or family company.
Steph Curtin, cruise
development manager for bonvoyage, said: ““While a night
at the blackjack table will undoubtedly be a fun experience, one should most
likely set a few rules prior to gambling.
“It is always recommended that passengers set aside a
budget of how much they are prepared to gamble (or lose!) each day of their
holiday. I would also advise the intake of alcohol is limited throughout your
time spent gambling, as you may wake up with a bad hangover and an empty
wallet!”
