15 Things to Know About Victory Casino Cruises Before You Sail

Want to go try your luck spinning the slot machines, throwing the dice, or trying to get blackjack? If you’re in central Florida, one of the most popular choices to gamble is Victory Casino Cruises . Departing daily from Port Canaveral, the boat heads out beyond state waters where it is legal to play casino games.

If you’ve never sailed on the gambling boat, there are quite a few things you might want to know before you book your spot. We recently sailed on the casino cruise and have everything you need to know.

It’s $13 Per Person to Sail

Most casinos are happy to let you in the doors for free. Victory charges passengers $13 per person to board. You can book your tickets ahead of time on the cruise line’s website. As well, many regular players who are members of the casino’s players club can get free boarding vouchers for their play. You can also just show up and book your spot to board at the terminal.

The Gambling Age is 18 Years Old

Head to Las Vegas and you have to be 21 to gamble. On the ship, however, you only need to be 18 to board and gamble. No one under 18 is allowed. If you want to drink on the ship you will still need to be 21 years old, like on land.

Trips Sail 7 Days a Week, Twice Daily

While the departure and arrival times may vary slightly, there is a morning and an evening cruise seven days a week. Most morning cruises depart at 11 a.m. and get back at 4:15 p.m. Most evening cruises leave at 7 p.m. and get back at 12:30 a.m. Sunday cruises depart at noon and return at 6 p.m., while Friday and Saturday night cruises leave at 7 p.m. and get back at 1 a.m.

If You Book Online You Can Skip the Line

As we said, the entry fee for the ship is $13 per person, and you can book your ticket online. One of the advantages of booking early is that you can skip the line that most people stand in to get their tickets. Instead, when you arrive, just enter the terminal and head to the left to the security metal detectors. It can save you a lot of time on boarding.

The Ship Has Four Decks, With Gambling on Each

The Victory has four decks, and each has a different purpose and feel. Deck 1 features the ship’s buffet and ala carte restaurant. As well, there are sports betting terminals here where you can bet on nearly any sport you can think of.

Deck 2 features slot machines, video poker, and table games. Deck 3 is the “Slot Atrium” with nothing but slot machines spanning the entire length of the ship. Deck 4 features the ship’s nightclub, lined with slot machines. There is also an outdoor bar on the back of the ship.

Tables Games Options Are Impressive Considering the Size of the Ship

You might think that a casino boat would only have a few table games. In fact, the Victory has an impressive variety of games. There are several craps tables (the only ones in Florida), roulette, blackjack, baccarat, Let It Ride, Ultimate Texas Hold ‘Em, and more. There are also electronic roulette machines (a real wheel but betting terminals) and even bingo. If you don’t want to play slots or video poker, there is plenty for you to do. All told there are 27 tables. Note that there is no live poker.

It Takes About 45 Minutes of Sailing Until You Can Play

Due to state laws, it’s not legal for gaming until the ship reaches three miles from the shore. That means for the first part of the trip — and again when the ship comes back in — you can hang out on the deck or grab a bite to eat, but you can’t play. The trip out to sea takes roughly 45 minutes until reaching the 3-mile mark. There will be an announcement that gaming is now open.

The Ship Is a Fantastic Vantage Point to Watch Rocket Launches

Sailing from Port Canaveral, the channel from the port is literally right next to the Kennedy Space Center. Rocket launches draws tons of people to the area, and finding a spot to watch the launch can cost money and mean fighting for a spot. However, the ship heads just a few miles out to sea offering a fantastic vantage point with no obstructions like buildings in the way. It’s the perfect spot to have some fun and head to Deck 4 to watch a launch if it goes up while on your cruise.

Limits Are Usually Low

Are you a low-stakes gambler? Good news, you’ll fit right in on the Victory Casino Cruise. With 600 slot machines, penny slots are plentiful, as are quarter video poker machines. During our cruise — which wasn’t very busy — we saw multiple tables with $5 minimums. The highest minimum we saw was one table at $15. Bottom line, you don’t have to bring a huge bankroll to have some fun.

The Ship Could Use Some Updating

If your experience gambling involves the big swanky hotels in Las Vegas or similar venues, then you should temper your expectations. The Victory casino ship is a bit worn and could use some updating. Things like worn carpet are common and in general the furnishings show some age. There is also a bit of rust and wear on spots around the ship itself.

Parking is Free

Many people drive to the terminal and the good news is that parking is free. While parking for a regular cruise is around $20 per day, the casino cruise doesn’t charge. You can park across the street from the terminal and walk right to the check-in area and the ship. It makes it extremely convenient for those coming to the casino by car.

The Terminal is at the End of the Port Complex

Need a little help in finding where to go? There are abundant signs pointing the direction, but the port is at the end of the Canaveral cruise complex, close to the beach. We’ve labeled the map below to give you a sense of where to go:

Transportation Is Available

Don’t want to drive to the port? You’re in luck. Victory has a number of bus routes that will pick you up all over the central Florida area. This includes everywhere from Ocala to The Villages, to Vero Beach to Palm Coast. Rides are also affordable at just $20. Call the company to arrange your spot on the bus.

Get $5 Freeplay with a New Card and Email Address

Want a little freeplay to start your day at the casino? Sign up for the casino card when you get on the ship. It’s completely free and when you track your play on the machines and at the table with the card, you can get casino offers. If you provide your email address when you sign up, you also get $5 freeplay to use on the machines.

Drinks Are Free When Playing

Want to have a drink or two while you try your luck? There is drink service from waitresses that roam the casino floor. Drink service is free while you play (be sure to tip). If you want something from the bar, you will have to pay for that. There is coffee and soda available on Deck 1 if you want to sip something non-alcoholic.

Our Thoughts of the Victory Casino Cruise

As mentioned above, we recently sailed aboard the ship to check it out. So what is our impression of it?

In general, we had a good time. Our cruise on a Monday night didn’t have many people, meaning it was easy to find a place to play without having to fight for a spot at a table or a machine. It was also extremely easy to drive right up to the terminal, park, and board.

We found the machines to be “loose” and came out ahead on our cruise. Slot machines consistently gave good play, even when we ended up losing. Video poker machines were either 7/5 or 6/5 (be sure to check the pay tables to find the best for you), which does leave something to be desired. One thing that stuck out to us was that nearly every game you can think of was available on the ship. Normally smaller casinos offer only some games you might find at a larger venue.

Our biggest complaint is that the ship is definitely in need of some updating. As mentioned above, it definitely shows its age. Wear and tear are evident in many places. Keeping any ship in tip-top shape is difficult given the salt and the sea, so we understand. Still, it would be nice to have a more updated casino to play.

Overall, if you are in the central Florida area the Victory Casino ship is a fun way to spend a few hours… and hopefully make some money.

Is there a nonsmoking area to play and eat?

This article is old. The table minimums are much higher now and the experience has deteriorated. I would recommend searching for updated info.

I dont see anything about activities for those who come along but dont gamble. Is there swimming or anything else to do? Whats the menu. I dont see anything on the website it only mentions a la cart. If someone gets motion sickness at times how does this compare to the normal cruise ships? Thanks

It’s a casino cruise, so there isn’t much to do other than gamble. There is some outdoor seating and a musician sometimes plays. As for motion sickness, this is a much smaller ship than a cruise ship, so you’ll feel the ocean more if there are waves.

Hello and thanks for an outstanding article! My husband has an itch for casinos and I have one for the water. We’ve been pondering a casino cruise for some time. What airport would we fly into from Phoenix Sky Harbor? What hotels are near the ship? Thanks!

Hi, I’d like some information for transportation from The villages to your location. Thanks Bob

Bob, Cruzely is not the cruise line. You can find more info about their transportation options here:

https://victorycasinocruises.com/transportation/

Is there spots open for next week…my daughter is coming for the week thought this would be fun. So the whole expense for this is $ 28.00 cause we will drive to cruises ship. And we have a coupon for the $28.00 dollars…if I could have someone email me back soon…

Lori — we aren’t the cruise line. You’ll want to contact them directly.

i love gambling on this ship. Its clean, everyone is friendly. i have no complaints, only praises

Have a group of Seniors in Kissimmee that would like to go on the Victory Cruise again. We have gone before, but am not sure if you still have representatives that will work with us? How many people do we have to have for a bus to come in our Manufactured Home Park and transport us to the ship? And what would be the cost?

Eleanor, Cruzely is not affiliate with Victory Casino. You’ll want to contact the company directly to ask.

What if I don’t want to play any game, just enjoying the trip. Is that possible? I mean I only want to enjoy the sea view and some music maybe

Sure. There’s no rule that you have to gamble!

How long does it take to get ocean card? I did have it and was working for the elite. But then had to help friends in Alaska and was gone 3 years. Had to start over when I came back which I understood. But do they still have 3 players cards.

How long is the ship?

Looks to be about 300 feet long.

We sailed on the a.m cruise on St. Patty’s day! Absolutly horrible!!!! They over booked! It was sooo crowded you could not find a machine to play!!! We come often, but this was the worst of the worst! Should of stayed home!!! What were they thinking besides money! No 6 foot distancing here.

Yeah but if you don't tip the (barmaids)whatever more than $5.00 for a 8.0 oz.super thin plastic cup of watered down rot gut liquor than they run when you even look in their direction.I gave $3.00 tip to one the girls and she replied that's it???I apologized and gave her $2.00 more and she didn't even say thank you or anything as she walked away.Then I saw her conversating with another barmaid and pointing at me..next thing you know I cant get any more so called free drinks!!very rude staff (barmaids)with no backbone support..

It was a cool day in Orlando, so my spouse and I opted to drive over to Port Canaveral to do the Victory Casino Cruise. We received a coupon from the condo we were staying to a $25 deal for the cruise with lunch, free drinks and $10 slot play. We could have booked the cruise with lunch for $25 on the cruise website, but don't know if that included the free slot play. The free drinks are available to anyone who is gaming. We found our way quite easily as there is alot of signage when you get to Port Canaveral. Parking was plentiful as the cruise wasn't completely full, and most people seem to travel via bus. We only had one coupon and apparently we should have had two, plus we were supposed to book by phone in advance. I guess they let us both have the deal because they weren't full. Had they been busier, we likely wouldn't have been able to use the coupon, or only one of us would have. We departed right on time at 11 am and after about 25 minutes we were far enough out that the machines were activated. Lunch was served at 12:00 and only lasted until 1pm, so you had to get there on time. It was a buffet, but really wasn't that good. I couldn't really complain about anything on our trip, but if there was one disappointment, it would be the quality of the food and the service on the buffet. There were four decks of slot machines, 2 being smoking and 2 non-smoking. There was no smoking allowed throughout the ship until it reached the international waters, so when the machines turned on, so did the smoking. The non-smoking decks were really smoke free, however, there were no where near as many slots on those decks. I didn't find smoking to be too bad even on the smoking decks. It was really best described as a "cruise to nowhere" because we just went back and fourth, up and down the coastline for the duration of the cruise and then returned to shore and disembarked. They made an announcement when we got back close to shore again that the machines would be turned off shortly. They weren't kidding! Within about 5 minutes they were shut down. I think a 10 minute warning would have been good. Disembarking was quit quick and smooth and we were on our way home. It was a very good day all in all, although next time I would likely just pay the $10 to baord and gamble and skip the buffet.

Oh behalf of the management of Victory Casino Cruises, I would like to thank you for your very thorough and complimentary review. We really appreciate your suggestions. We hope to see you again soon!

Went on a Sunday cruise yesterday. The food was great, service excellent and the price value was there. If you are going to make some money on the slots you will be disappointed. But enjoyed the entertainment and being on the water. Food again was tops!

On behalf of everyone at Victory, I would like to thank you for your review. The Chef really appreciates your compliments on the food and we hope that you can join us again soon!

My wife and I went out yesterday on the 11-4 cruise and had a great time!! The food was fantastic, the staff was the best!! I read other reviews and can't believe they were on the same cruise, I read where everyone was sick? It was smooth sailing and they would announce when they would make a turn for safety. You should give this a second chance. Thank you victory for a great day!!

Thank you for visiting Victory Casino Cruises and thank you for this great review! We hope to see you on board again soon!

I purchased a Groupon for two to go on the casino tour. Great value for the price, entrance for two, two lunches, and $20 in game money. Slot machines seem very good, lots of people playing on the tables. Upstairs there's a dance floor, which lots of people seem to enjoy. Would definitely go again. My only gripe was that the restaurant closes two hours into the cruise, but they do have an à la carte menu.

I would like to take a moment to thank you for your complimentary review. We are thrilled to hear you had such a great time. We apologize that the buffet in the Atlantic Cafe shuts down. Everyone has assigned seating times and once those assigned times pass, our Chef takes it down. To leave it up any longer would diminish the quality of the food. We hope you did have a chance to have something off of our ala carte menu. Our Chef takes great pride in offering some great selections and everyone seems pleased with the options they choose. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

absolutely no place to get away from cigarette/cigar smoke, even tho level 4 is no smoking, go outdoors on deck for fresh air & still smokers! Yikes! Food average, crew pleasant, bathrooms all stink, with rusty/mildewed ceilings! If you don't really gamble & just want a rough boat ride with lots of smoke this was it!

Thank you for visiting Victory Casino Cruises. We apologize that the smoke bothered you to the extent that it did. Decks 1 and 4 are completely non-smoking inside and the policy is strictly enforced. We do allow smoking outside in the open air on the 4th deck. We also have state of the air filtration systems throughout the ship to assist with the effects of the smoke. Thank you for the compliments on our staff, we always strive for the best customer service. We are not sure what you are referring to with regards to rusty, mildewed ceilings. We have checked all of the bathrooms and do not see any rust or mildew. Our Senior Captain and crew take great pride in always keeping the ship spotless inside and out. We have staff dedicated to ensuring that things are clean and fresh at all times during the cruise. If you decide to sail with us again, we hope you will ask to speak to our Cruise Director Maria if there is anything you are not happy with. Maria is on board to make sure that every guest has the best possible experience.
