The CardPlayerCruises cruises are not exclusive to poker players. CardPlayerCruises rents the ship's conference room and reserves a block of rooms - enough for about 150 to 400 players, depending on the size of the ship. The rest of the cruise passengers (thousands) are just normal cruisers, not poker players. You can only play in the poker room if you book your cabin through CardPlayerCruises. You can partake of all the normal cruise events and venues, just like every other passenger. It's a great way to cruise - you can play as much poker as you want during sea time, or split your time between poker and ship's activities.
Note: Although the players are all people who book through cardplayercruises, play is not particularly tougher than at any poker room. There aren't usually any pros that are cruising in order to make a living. (Except maybe for their HPT cruise, which attracts some pros.) There seems to always be a mix of better and worse players, and always some novice players, too.
