Recommended poker cruises?

[Bentley]

Out of interest, has anyone gone on a poker cruise? Or cruise where there is poker
wondering if any recommendations for tournaments...ie as part of a vacation or just good ones

The real problem on general cruises is that the rake is extra high. Between that and people not wanting to play big pots makes it hard to win. I have looked at the cruises from Cardplayer magazine and Ante-up magazine, but have never gone on one. The one that I did sign up for was canceled due to a lack of players.

I listen to the Ante-Up podcast and it seems like their cruises are well run and have a pretty good group of players that go on them.
