NCL Casino Blackjack Minimum Question

[1bravesfan]

Does anyone know what the current NCL blackjack minimum bet is?

Depends on the time.  Generally $10-15.  ALL tables, except in the high limit room ($100+) were continuous shuffle tables on the Joy.  Not sure about elsewhere.

The last three cruises (all this year) on Encore, Joy, and Getaway all had ONE table in the main casino area that was $50 minimum with an 8-deck hand shuffle.  

Other than that one table, all others were continuous shuffle and either $15 min (a few) or $25 min

and those $10-$15 tables will be 6:5 blackjack

I'm usually at the $50 table and, at least on the Joy, that was continuous shuffle as of 2 weeks ago.

That stinks....I hate continuous shuffle and the $50 table on the Joy in March (It was next to the craps table) was 8-deck hand shuffle.

I understand NCL's motivation to speed up play (and their revenues) but it was nice having at least one table as an option.

I don't mind (and actually prefer) auto-shuffle but hate continuous.  You're right; it's always been a shoe in the past and I was rather surprised they pulled that.  I was cursed at the tables on my last cruise so spent most of my money on slots anyway.

Depending on time of day/night $10 minimum (early on sea days) to as high as you want to go, at least as high as I am willing to go for the max!
