Harmony Casino??

[RCCLNYMETS41]

On the Harmony, do they still offer Blackjack tables that pay 3-2 (possibly higher table minimum) in addition to the newer 6-5 rip off tables?

Also, does the Harmony have a non-smoking side separated by a poker room with a smoking side on the other side? (this is how it was on Allure several years ago)

 

Thank you in advance for any help.

To my knowledge, all BJ pays 6-5.

 

Yes, there is a smoking and non-smoking side, divided by the bar area. A non-smoking side of the casino works just as well as the non-peeing section of the pool.

$25 BJ table pays 3 to 2

This isn't right. Single deck games (i.e. those where only one deck of cards is dealt) pay 6:5. Nearly all of the shoe games (multiple decks used) are 3:2, with few exceptions here and there. It's always indicated on the table if it's 6:5.

 

This makes single deck a sucker's game.

 

Other rules on shoe games: Resplit Aces twice, Resplit all others up to 4x, double after split is allowed. Dealers always hit S17.

Seems like the casinos can be different from ship to ship.

Last November on Freedom, all BJ tables below $25 minimum were 6-5.

I needed to sit at a $25 table to get 3-2 on a BJ

TrojanUSC, yes I agree that it is not right that lower minimum blackjack pays only 6:5, in that it is a crime against nature. However, and unfortunately, it is correct that the lower minimum tables do in fact pay 6:5 - at least they did when we were on Harmony last month. But I can confirm that it was 3:2 on the $25 tables. And don't even get me started on craps tables that only offer single odds (although that is not a new development in the cruise industry).

 

And yes, I agree that I for one can tell no difference between the "smoking" side and the "non-smoking" side.

Any Texas holdem tournaments on the Harmony? As well as cash games?
