NCL Blackjack shoe info

[Tallyfins]

Can anyone who has sailed recently on NCL tell me what the table minimums are for BJ, how many decks/shoes, cut penetration, shuffle (continuous vs. automated) etc. I've never been on an NCL cruise before, but figure most are the same. But I would like to confirm before I get onboard.

 

Thanks, TF

Usually $10-15 tables.  Those are all continuous shuffle.  I believe $25 tables (definitely $50) and up are dealt from shoes.  You have to cut at least one deck thick which drives me irrationally crazy.

What phillygwm said.  On my last sailing (Pearl) the $25 BJ table was dealing 6D with about 1.25 penetration.  I asked him to cut it a little deeper (doing my best ditzy "that's when I'm lucky!" giggle) and the dealer rolled his eyes a little, but didn't change the penetration 🤨

also know that the $10 tables pay 6/5 for blackjacks.  You have to find the $15 and up tables for 3/2

ok thank you. You all have confirmed my suspicions lol! I will set my limit and cheer wildly when i get paid 6/5 for BJ! 🤣🤔

I will be sailing on the Norwegian epic early next year, does anyone know if they let you surrender there? I've cruised MSC before and had surrender

I’ve never seen this on an NCL ship.
