We've seen players who got nasty about how someone else was playing asked to leave the table on a couple different cruises. The exception to friendly dealers was on Rhapsody, the dealer was not paying attention, to busy chatting with people at other tables, after several mis-deals and complaints from players she was replaced. As for other players objecting to how we play, a quiet 'mind your own business' or 'play your own hand please' usually shuts down the complaints, if not then things get elevated to the pit boss. We've played many times on cruises and with one exception have always found the dealers to be friendly. We've had exactly the opposite experience. I really enjoy a lively game of Blackjack at a casino, even if I'm not winning, but I rarely find that on a cruise ship. Also, I've found that my fellow cruise ship passengers are much less friendly than players in Las Vegas.

Rarely do they interact with the players and they definitely don't help. On ships, I find most of the dealers to be duds. It was my first time using URComped and I cannott. I booked the Royal Caribbean cruise through URComped and it went splendidly. I took my first cruise on Royal Caribbean in June 2022 and I wanted to post a casino review. N my experience, if you are a novice player, the Las Vegas dealers and even other players will help you, and it's not hard to learn how it's played and 'perfect strategy'. After doing 11 cruises with Carnival, I decided to try another casino at sea.
