I think quite hard to govern as cruises ply international waters.
That's why can have casino in the first place even way before the IRs
ya... govt cant control these cruise in international water.
That's why govt tried to make it difficult for gamblers to go cruise easily....
The thing they did few years ago, was to disallow ferry to to go direct to the cruise on international water.
That's why we have to take az ferry to batam, then transit there.
I made a trip to LW recently. It was not bad... not as crowded as before IR open. The crowds is just nice now.
And it is getting cheaper.
Pay $42 at TMFT, and rebate $40 after exchange $500 chips.
For weekdays night, it is even cheaper. Pay $12 and rebate $10 after exchange $100 chips.
But the food is getting worst....
