See this in the lobby for tonight - top 10 all get a "Cruise Ticket Daily Final" ticket worth $66 .... don't know how many entrants this will get, but value is unlikely to be huge...... Having said that - starts with 1000 chips and 5 minute blinds - so wont be a long game....... Registration opens in 40 mins

Re: Laddies Cruise Daily Freeroll - 21:15 GMT Here's the info on the cruise ........

The Ladbrokes Poker Cruise is BACK! And it is bigger and better than ever! In January 2008, the Ladbrokes Poker Cruise III sets sail from New York for a 10 day Caribbean Poker Cruise. This time the poker will be played aboard the deluxe cruise liner ‘Explorer of the Seas’, with every cabin having it’s own balcony and Wi-Fi internet connectivity. There will again be a Festival of Poker that includes a full tournament programme, cash games and STT’s. The tournament programme will include a $2,500 Main Event and the Ladies $10,000 Freeroll. Cash Games & STT’s will be available whenever the ship is at sea. Qualification for a ‘Cruise Ticket’ is available now, including daily Cruise Freerolls, so do not miss out on being part of Europe’s biggest poker festival! If you have joined us for one of our previous cruises you know what you could be missing - and if you haven’t - this is what previous Ladbrokes Poker cruisers had to say about our last event: “Top destinations, top poker, great company. Service & organisation top marks!” “We've had a great time, if there’s a cruise next year as well count us in!” “We had such a great time meeting and socialising with the other players. In that aspect cruise was 100% success. What a great idea getting us all together in an environment that you meet up with each other over the length of the trip - very nice”. “The friendly atmosphere between players, Ladbrokes staff, ship crew was wonderful, something that money cannot buy”. “I can’t thank you guys enough for all the hard work you put in on the cruise.... you and your team helped to make it what it was... An OUTSTANDING festival of poker!” “Thanks to you and all your team for putting together a trip of a life time. I have been to poker bashes all over the world at top class resorts and hotels but this topped the lot!” When and Where? The Ladbrokes Poker Cruise III will depart from New York on Friday 25th of January 2008 and return on Sunday 3rd February 2008 having visited four exotic destinations: Puerto Rico: San Juan St. Thomas: Charlotte Amalie Dominican Republic: Casa de Campo Labadee (exclusive private beach & watersports paradise).

The Ship and Cabins The luxury ‘Explorer of the Seas’ is from the deluxe ‘Voyager’ classification of ships owned by Celebrity Cruises – part of Royal Caribbean Cruise Line. This is what they say about the ship: This ship is a revolutionary marvel of naval engineering. Enjoy one-of-a-kind features like an ice-skating rink, the Royal Promenade and a rock-climbing wall, just for starters. How did we accommodate all of these innovative ideas? Simple. We built a bigger cruise ship. The 138,000-ton, 3,114-guest Voyager of the Seas became the world's largest cruise ship when it entered service in November 1999. Innovations on this and other Voyager-family ships add up to more space for every guest, and include enhanced staterooms, expanded dining options and exceptional recreational facilities. All of the Ladbrokes Poker cabins are guaranteed as ocean view with balconies, a limited number of suites will be available on a first come first served basis for qualifiers who wish to upgrade. Travel Allowance All qualifiers will have the $1,700 travel allowance credited to their Ladbrokes Poker account. The qualifier will be responsible for arranging return flights and hotel accommodation (for themselves and guest) in New York for the night of 24th January 2008. Ladbrokes Poker’s Event Management Team will endeavour to ensure that all qualifiers receive information on flight options, and suitable hotel availability within differing price bands, as information becomes available. For players qualifying before the end of February 2007, travel allowance credits to Ladbrokes Poker accounts will be made in March 2007. This will be the time when flights to New York become available for purchase. See terms and conditions for more details. Ladbrokes Poker Cruise III – The Festival of Poker The Festival of Poker will operate at all times that the ship is at sea. Ladbrokes Poker Cruise III Main Event – this will be $2,500 NL Texas Hold’em Freezeout. Side Tournaments – there will be a range of side tournaments with buy-ins to suit all bankrolls, including the famous $10,000 ‘Ladies freeroll’ which returns to Ladbrokes Poker Cruise III. Single Table Tournaments – two poker rooms will be dedicated to STT’s. Cash Games – Cash Tables will be open at all available times. Qualification and pre-registration for the tournaments will be launched in 2007. All poker purchased on board will be purchased using the ‘cashless’ ship system. Poker tournament buy-ins, and the purchase of cash game chips will be charged against your ship card, which you will receive upon check-in. This ship card will be lodged against your credit card, details of which you will be supplied with when completing your cruise booking after qualifying for a ‘Cruise Ticket’. Alternatively cash can be lodged against your ship card, upon check-in. Players wishing to utilise funds from Ladbrokes Poker accounts should transfer them to the relevant credit card prior to departure for the cruise. Ladbrokes Poker cannot access funds from accounts on a player’s behalf. The Ladbrokes Poker Event Management Team The Ladbrokes Poker players attending the last Ladbrokes Poker Cruise will already be familiar with the excellent services of Jo and Terry Sherring, who will again be Event managers for the 2008 Cruise. Any qualifiers and direct buy-in players will be handed over to this team who will ensure that all communications, information and ticketing take place as efficiently as possible – all part of the service as expected from Ladbrokes Poker events. Book your holiday and qualify now! So what are you waiting for? Book your time off with the boss, and select your accompanying guest. Simply select the ‘Cruise’ tab under the MTT section of the lobby, and get playing. This Ladbrokes Poker Caribbean Dream could be yours for free.

Re: Laddies Cruise Daily Freeroll - 21:15 GMT 600 in this with just 15 mins to go - looks like it will be pretty decent (worth about $1 per player)

Re: Laddies Cruise Daily Freeroll - 21:15 GMT i played this on boxing day, qualified pretty easy for the next round, just sat tight and let the idiots knock themselves out, i think i only played around 12 hands from start to final table, it seems there was less runners due to the date though as the next day (yesterday) there were 990 runners the last time i looked worth playing though as the standard early is absolutely terrible and 2/3rds of the field are out in about an hour and a half, just play tight as hell and you should do ok!! good luck!
