There are several cruises that hold tournaments usually Texas Hold'em no limit, one comes to mind is Royal Caribbean from LA next year in Vision of the Seas. March I think.

Also think Royal Caribbean from Port Canaveral hold shorter ones 3/5 & 7 days,

You will need to book early for these as they are well supported.
Will look into it over weekend to see if I can find any more information for you.

Hi Poker_Player,
Mariner of the Seas sails from Port Canaveral on the 22nd April next year. (11 full days)
There is a poker tournament every evening, except sea days when one is held during the afternoons, as I said last night it is usually Texas Hold'em and the buy-in ranges from $150 to $500 for the side events & $2500+ for the main event.
Players from all over the world take part, but unable to give you prize fund as this depends on entries. A phone call to Royal Caribbean will give you prices & contact numbers also you will need to confirm this will indeed take place.
Most cruise ships do hold minor poker tourneys, during the cruise, so if you just want a holiday plus a little action then any American Based line is ok.
Hope this helps & good luck.
