Your definition of advantage players ? Losing less is quite different from actually winning.

Hi Bob and welcome! Norwegian epic out of Miami has the largest casino on water that I know of. Decent but not great comp club. Very busy with weekly cruises to east and west Caribbean alternating til mid April. Highly recommended for gambling but unknown for AP opportunity. Some VP on board, not sure about specific paytables. About 80 machines I think along with about 800 slot.
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

Bob,

You might want to look into RCCL as well. I'm not sure about sailings and they may depart out of Fort Lauderdale. The casino is a little smaller than the Epic (27 tables and 464 slots) but there are some great "vulture" games on there.....meaning games with "must hit" or "token accumulation" bonus bets. This could be a nice AP opportunity if nobody is looking for them.
Also the ship is newer and the casino is much nicer. I have heard good things about NCL rewards program and I must admit I don't know much about the RCCL rewards program except that they do have one I believe.

I would cruise on RCCL or Celebrity anyday before I set foot on NCL but that is simply a personal preference!

Have fun!

I very much respect your bias in this. ;)

Well thanks for all the advice . The wife is dragging me on a cruise so if I have to go id figure to find something to keep me busy while she is at the spa . Maybe ill just stick to blackjack lol . Doubt they have single deck though but as long as we dont get stuck out in the sea ill consider this a win/win trip .

I know Celebrity has Singe Deck so no reason why RCCL or NCL shouldn't have it either!
