I'm checking to see if they have live poker tables (not electronic) yet...I've been googling, on this forum too, and can't find any hard evidence either way. Thanks!

I've only seen the electronic tables (and yes, i'm aware this respose is years in arrears). I was pleasantly surprised to find out that I earned a free cruise from electronic poker table play though! Got a call from the Carnical agent a few months after the cruise. My total buy-in was only about $500 for the entire length of the cruise and I broke even, so it was worth it!

Interesting. Cruised on Carnival numerous times and I have never seen Poker Pro table time earn any casino comp points. Only free cruises I have seen on any cruise lines, live dealer or elec table, have been from the tournaments they run on some sea days. But congrats.

Electronic on all cruises I've taken, including carnival. Cash games and tournaments. Won a tournament once which also included free seat into a 50 or 100k tournament at a later date on another cruise. Was transferable, sold on eBay for $500.
