So, you have to play $2000 dollars to get minimum 400 points? Who has that kind of money to gamble? 1 point= $5 bet !!!

We have been in a couple of FREE cruises by invitation from the casino. You still have to pay port fees, taxes, tips, and any extras on the ship. This is a great perk.😊😊

Chris sounds great. I am a big slot machine lover. I think Carnival also has a great casino reward program. HOWEVER, on my recent Majestic Princess october cruise (which had been a Casino offer) I was VERY disappointed in the casino. By the end of day two I had 3,500 points. I had not bought a drink package but had always been offered a drink while playing on Carnival. I asked one of the servers if I could have a bottled water. Nope, Not for free. I never saw a Casino host and even had trouble getting my on board Casino credit. I did get wine and chocolate covered cherries delivered to the room. And on the last day an offer for $650 in Casino play, in a future cruise, signed by a casino host I NEVER saw. I know I never saw the host because the letter was signed by a woman. Maybe I need to switch over to RC on the Navigator! (I only sail from California). Thank you Tony and Chris. Great info.

[@BettyLewis-ln8fq]

I have found that if you're nice and not demanding, it gets noticed in a positive way...I treat the casino as excursions and budget so much each day. I havent paid full price or for drinks in several years.

[@jenellwilliamsburnham3599]

Im totally a casino gal. I have had several “free” cruises in balcony and suites. I must say, in my case they are not “free” but my casino “deposits” keep me cruising. Ha. I love the casino benefits. Every cruise I end up getting a comped specialty dinner from casino. I do play a lot but love it. I’m on west coast. I have never cruised Royal Caribbean but have done 18 cruises on other lines and have three free cruises booked for next year compliments of casino programs. Interesting interview.

How much do you think you spend to get all the comps? Is it worth it? I don't gamble so just asking.

I wonder if losing money for them comp is worth it

[@harlanabraham7772]

@@onjekaji5832 If you enjoy playing in the casino then it may be worth it. Just remember, it isn't winning or losing. It is how much you play. Yes, the odds are heavily in favor of the house. but, you do have a shot at winning. Depends on what game or games you play.

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

Average gambling losses will far outweigh the value of any comps won. Slots are particularly bad. For every $1000 you gamble you are going to lose about $200. Mugs use the comps to justify their addiction to friends. They won't tell you about the $200 they lost, only about the $20 free meal comp they got.

[@pudgyboypudgyboy898]

I find it difficult to separate my money from my pocket, not that I haven’t tried just haven’t found it an experience I feel I need to repeat enough to earn loyalty points/rewards. I would try the free play now that I know about it.

[@cnik7802]

Sometimes we win in the casino, sometimes we lose, and sometimes we break even. But we never lose even close to what a cruise would have cost us anyway, and we have taken 32 comped cruises (all in balconies or junior suites) and have another 13 currently booked. Casino Royale is extremely generous with comp offers. I would never tell someone to become a gambler just for comps, but if you are going to gamble somewhere anyway, then a cruise ship is a wonderful place to gamble.

[@iptvclub1575]

There are a few people on KZbin that gamble just for the comps. They have the same mentality as you. Never lose what the cruise would have cost. They way they look at it, if they lose 4-5 hundred bucks but they get 3 free cruises out of it, it’s worth it!!! The comps on cruises are much better than land based casinos. You can be a high roller on a casino cruise but a very small fish in Vegas

[@SwayPromo]

@@iptvclub1575so just play like 500-600 on a cruise?? Does It have to be slots to get those points or can It be craps and all the other games?

[@KweenBeeSlots]

Hey hey hey 👋🏽 it was awesome to cruise with you last week ! We had a blast playing in the Casino ! Chris was fantastic and I became VIP and earned a free cruise with an upgrade to a junior suite 🤩

[@brunkerj]

Very comprehensive. What I learned on my last cruise was how payouts were lower. A blackjack paid 6/5 versus 3/2. Standard video poker pays 2/1 for 2 pair, but on the cruise it paid 1/1. But the loyalty program helps make the lower odds make sense. Mr. Wong really gave me a better understanding, which I appreciate.

[@jollyjoker6340]

Changing to BJ payout to 6/5 adds 1.39% to the casino edge and it looks like the points give 1% back. Still not a terrible deal as far as casinos go. Edit: No, they have separate casino rewards. Looking at them now and still no clue what they're worth. What on earth is a "complimentary interior stateroom on one cruise" "based on double occupancy"? You still pay for one person? Edit2: It's five dollars a point on slot machines and something unspecified based on a guesstimate of dollars wagered on tables. Edit3: Comments on the Internet say table games give roughly a tenth of what you get on slots, with some saying it's just part of your buy-in rather than what you've played.

[@lynnmoquin2059]

Thanks - this was very helpful. I did not know about the free play on Royal and I’ve cruised with them several times. I have been somewhat intimidated by the casino, but watched some videos on how to play the slot machines before my last cruise. They helped me understand the difference between max lines, max bet, etc. Like your comment about not spending more than you can afford to lose, the key takeaway from one video was: “Treat the money you spend in a casino as entertainment money. Like paying for tickets to a game or concert where you are buying an experience. If you win in the casino, consider it a nice bonus.” And thank you for providing the number for help with gambling addiction. What may be harmless entertainment for one can be a serious problem for someone else.

Tony we met you playing craps on the Celebrity Edge… at least once a year we’ll have a free cruise because of our casino play… this year it’s on the Christmas cruise on Holland America… and meeting the casino host is a must..! On a longer cruise within a few days all of our drinks were comped, the host would check on us at least once if not several times during the evening to make sure we had everything we needed…

[@glocksmith0055]

I’m going on my 3rd free cruise next week from Royal. Only had to pay port fees and taxes totaling $158

[@skyaerialview]

I’ve played slots all over the world & cruise ship slots are the worst paying without a doubt… they are TIGHT!!!! Because they have no government regulations regarding returns on investments. Simple… if you win a free cruise you have turned over at least $10,000 in the slot machines, hence, it most likely wouldn’t be a free cruise unless you won a large payout early & gambled it away. On my last cruise I lost about $1,200 & received two $100 cruise vouchers from the host which had to be used within 30 days. I turned over about $4,000 to earn those. Remember, if you walk into the casino expect to lose your cash. We only play for fun & entertainment NOT specifically to win money. Winning is extremely rare, but, not impossible you just need to be playing the right machine at the right time, pure luck!

[@chantalsslippersondeedeesf4853]

My very first cruise back in 2012 I walked in the casino (NCL) with just 50.00, 30 mins after being on the same machine I hit a 20 grand JP! I did put back around 2500 though! You’re right though, don’t expect to win! Slot machines are the worse!

[@mattrogers3806]

I started playing more slots specifically for the points, I love table play but I feel like the points are too subjective on table play. I can earn the same amount of points playing $100 a hand for an hour on blackjack as 20 minutes on the slots at $5 spins

[@sscooby2u]

Thing is, how likely are you to win money playing slots versus playing Blackjack? I can sit at a BJ table for 8 hours on $100 betting $5/hand (unless I have the worst luck ever - I've done it in Reno), conversely I can lose $100 in 15 minutes playing slots. When playing BJ they factor in time played, much easier to rack up time playing BJ versus straight betting on the slots.

I prefer Princess cruises and I wonder if you know the info for that cruise line? Just a quick story: my last Caribbean cruise I played craps each night. I preplanned with my spending cash for $200.00/per day (or night) if I wanted to play but held back on excursions instead. I won each night between $200.00-$450.00. I would cash out, go one deck up to the pursers desk and pay off any expenses I accrued like drinks, excursions on no casino days etc. when I got my end of cruise room statement in what I owed, I had a zero balance owing and in fact went home with about half of my spending money I brought with me. Some would say I still spent half of my spending cash for my cruise. I say I fully paid for essentially anything I wanted while on my cruise . And still managed to come home with half my money I went with. (I do that when I go to Vegas with my brother).

Best Casino advice ever was from National Lampoon's Vegas Vacation. Wallace Shawn said to Chevy Chase. "How about you give me half the money you were going to bet. We go outside and I kick you in the nuts and then call it a day". Seriously, you will be better off. Especially on Cruise ships because the odds are markedly worse than what you will find in Vegas, Atlantic City or anywhere else in North America. That is because the cruise ships are not subject to US or other gaming regulations.

I only play the amount I would have spent on the cruise. Who needs a drink package when you can get free drinks in the casino at Prime level with Casino Royal and a free cruise each year!. If you and a spouse or friend both play and you are both at prime level you put your free cruise together and get a better cabin.

I'm very new to gambling! My girlfriend and I have received or scheduled 3 free cruises now, just from gambling slots on our first paid for cruise. We don't spend a lot gambling, but so far we have an Eastern Caribbean cruise, a southern Caribbean cruise and a VERY sweet Alaskan cruise. This is the best way to relax and have fun and you can win both in the casino and with free cruises.

Boarding the Carnival Horizon November 27th out of Port Miami for an 8-Day Southern Caribbean Cruise to Aruba, Bonaire, La Romana and Amber Cove. I am so grateful to Carnival for my "Free Mardi Gras" 4 weeks ago and upcoming Horizon for a nominal Cabin Fee. I set my "limit" on a Stop-loss figure. Out of 16 Carnival Cruises in 7 years, I was comped 6 of them! Better than Vegas!

I always meet the casino host prior to my play. I get free cruise offers in the mail and when I’m on the ship. I wish I had the time and money to cruise and gamble that often. Looking forward to meeting Chris on Ovation in August.

I have got 2 free cruises from playing in casinos on land, one on norwegian, one on princess

[@gwillis01]

I did not know about the free plays on the slot machine on the first two days of the Royal Caribbean cruise

Just booked a free balcony offer on Oasis in March, after losing lots of bank on Symphony in October. We probably could have bought 3 cruises with what we lost, but at least we had fun doing it!
