The friendliest dealers I have found in AC is at the Trump Marina. The guys at the crap table are exceptionally good. The one time that a dealer got on my nerves was on a cruise ship . My first hand was a soft 18 against the dealers 10 . I think nothing of it and hit . BAM! another 10 I'm pat 18. Every body at the table was pat. The dealer hole card was a 4 . She hits BAM! 7 21 oh ****! No body at the table had the least idea how to play BJ and blamed me for their loss WOW! A whole $5 . I asked the dealer to take up for me and tell the bunch of old ladies I was right. She shook her head and said never hit a 18 . I said dam'it ! it was a soft 18 . She no, no never and told the old ladies that I should give them their $5 back. To beat it all , I could not find anyone to agree with me, not even the pit boss. From then on I took first base, Lord help if I doubled on a soft A-7 with a 5 or 6 showing and take the dealer bust card. For the rest of the trip when she dealt at my table , she would ask me if I was still taking a hit on 18. Needless to say , I gave her a bad rating at the end of the trip. PS --- I have found that most cruise ship I have been on would be a card counter's heaven.
