I've been on a Carnival Cruise the last two years and this is the format they use. I'm planning another Carnival Cruise in May so I'll let you know.
However, two years ago with regular blackjack it was 8 deck dealt from a shoe, but last year on a different ship, same cruise line, it was 8 deck dealt from a continuous shuffle machine. So my point is that I'm not sure if all the Carnival ships changed to continuous shuffle machines or if they simply vary from ship to ship. I'll see in May.[/QUOTE]
Hey darrislance, when you get back could you PM me about conditions? I'm afraid if you just post it I will miss it. Which ship are you going on? I'm on Elation.
