Table minimums onboard

[g683002]

For any recent cruisers, especially on Celebration or Mardi Gras, what are the table minimums in the casino? I play blackjack and 3 card poker mostly.

Can't speak for Celebration of Mardi Gras, but on Spirit last month Craps was a $5 min, with terrible 2x odds.  Blackjack was $6min (trying to get you to play a $5 hand and an extra $1 on the foolish "lucky ladies" side bet - don't do it).  In fact, don't play a lot of blackjack at all, they're all 6:5 travesties.

Were the same on Mardi Gras when I went on it.

I might partake in nickel craps, lower exposure, but the 2x odds sucks.

On the Celebration and Mardi Gras, craps is now $10. Least it was in September and December

With 2x odds, may as well just do pass & 6/8 for max odds and sit on it

I like to throw the bones when they are a nickel, but, like you said the 2x odds really suck

Play a 3 point molly.  Less than 0.5% house advantage.  You can play all night on that if you don't do anything stupid like bet the side bets, hard ways and horns they try to sell you on.

There's a reason the dealers want you playing them, and it's not because they favor the player.

Agree 2x sucks. Last RCL I was in was single odds. That’s horrible. I believe NCL had 3-4-5.  On carnival I just play a bunch of place bets vs come bets.

Blackjack tables are:

• Three $6 tables with 6 to 5 payout
• One $6 table with 2 to 3 payout
• Two $25 tables with 2 to 3 payout

Solo diners are able to eat anywhere on the ship, so the table minimum would be one. 😁

Do you mean 3 to 2?

Thanks all for the info. Anybody play 3 card poker?

One would hope.  But I'll bet you they'd still find people to play it.

Lol, yep. 2 to 3 would be hella interesting.

 

But yeah 3 to 2.
