There was a law passed on the 20th December 2005, two days into my cruise, that the Chilean government removed foreign flagged vessels permission to operate a casino in their territorial waters. Just as Hawaii has done.
It didn't go down well with alot of the passengers but there is nothing you can do about it, the Chileans can say what can and cannot be done in their territory, the cruise lines cannot fight it. I know NCL did try due to the cruise being underway when the law came in but they did not get any special permission and that was checked too by the ship's pilot from Chile who remains on board for the entire journey through their waters.
