NCL casino - table minimums

[Avon_Princess]

Hi!  We will be on the NCL Bliss in February of 2024.  Curious what the table minimums are in the casino?  Craps, Blackjack, poker, etc.  Thank you for any information that you have!

I've been wondering this as well.  On land I've been seeing minimums of 15 or 25, I'm hoping they are a little lower at sea.

 

Also curious..does anyone know if there is a fee to get casino chips billed to your room/ credit card?  Or should I just bring cash?

  there are a variety of min amounts on different table games., but I have not seen any table with less than $10.00 min.  As for charging your room, I believe there is a service fee charge of 2.5% per casino charge to your cabin.  I play slots, so I just put my money into the machine and play off that.  If i am finished playing, I log off the machine, and leave the amount in my bank, and continue playing off my bank for the next time

    Occasionally, Ultimate Texas Holdem, Texas Holdem, and Let it Ride will be at $5.00.Though $10.00 is the norm. Have never seen Three Card Poker at $5.00. Doesn't mean it doesn't happen, just haven't seen it.Have seen Blackjack tables range from $2.00-$50.00.Don't play Craps or Roulette, so can't comment.

 There is a 3% fee to charge chips/cash to your onboard account.However, when NCL charges your credit card, anything you've borrowed in the casino goes through as purchases, not cash advances, possibly saving you some money if you don't pay off the card right away.Or cash is always an option. Happy Cruising!

Yes, easy to room charge for 3percent fee.  Our credit card gives us 3percent back on travel purchases too 😊

The last time I played in the casino (aboard Encore, 10/1 sailing) the roulette table had a $10 minimum

$10 minimum table games on the Viva in September.

I can only speak to BlackJack, but the lowest I’ve seen is $15 over the past year.  And yes, there’s a 3% charge for cash advances.  The ATM is usually $5.99, but I’ve heard some ships are $6.99.  I’ve done both, but I also get 3% back from the credit card and my bank reimburses ATM fees, so there’s no net cost.

We were just on the joy.   There were 4 BJ tables and two of those were $10 min for the duration of the cruise.     However they paid 6:5 for blackjack.

   Check out “NCL Casino table games”. It tells you all the currently available games. There is no listing for surrender.

Just got back from Getaway Black was $15 saw a working $25 table to. Craps starts at $10 

[tgloersen]

I was on Joy in July, I play craps and the table min was $25!  (No thats not an error) For the whole duration of the cruise (7day) Unbelievable!

Surrender is not the name of a game.  It's an option in black jack

Most table games are a $10 minimum.  Poker is $100 min $500 max to start.  Have fun and good luck!

Sorry I should have been more specific, I am wondering if they allow surrender as an option for the blackjack games on NCL. It's where u can choose to lose the hand but only lose half your bet.

As I’ve said twice before, I have never seen this on NCL.  I don’t believe they do it.

Yeah, I get that.  I was responding to someone who it looked like thought surrender was a game

Well I do not know anyone named "U" but you can surrender as in a land based casino.
