Who Has The BEST Casino Loyalty Program, Royal or Carnival?

I break down both Club Royale and Carnival Player's Club and tell yu the positives and negatives of both so you can decide which one is right for you to cruise for free and gamble at sea!

As someone that doesn't gamble a lot (just gamble for points), I prefer Carnival. For royal, you pretty much need to hit Prime to start seeing a lot of offers. I gambled about $500 on Carnival and ended with about 11+ free cruise offers. Holland America is also a favorite. I received a land cruise offer to Alaska, a 35 day viking journey cruise, quite a bit of European, as well as a trip to South America/Antarctica, which I will be going on in December. So I prefer HA over Carnival due to their unique itinerary.

This is all great info. I got a loyalty match offer from HAL with some incredible itineraries but haven't been able to use it yet - this is inspiration. I agree with your Royal comment - I'm still getting offers from theo but they are a lot fewer, likely due to them filling up their ships again.

HAL did not match my free cruise offer. ☹️☹️ I will try to email them again after a few months. Not sure if I chanced upon a stingy staff whose only offer is onboard credit. 👎🏼

[@Fantiniastic]

@@ladyjosan39 sorry to hear that! Hopefully you'll have better luck next time!

[@gimmieboy]

I've spent $500 on carnival and never got anything. Not one offer. Strange

[@Fantiniastic]

@@gimmieboy there are several factors that play into this: time of year, amount of bet, time spent in casino. Also, Carnival is very slow to start giving you offers but once they start you will get a lot. When did you spend this $500?

[@jenkayla2492]

Wow, thanks so much for the link! I am brand new to casino slot machine playing. I appreciate your videos so much. I have no idea which machines to play on, and that is what i'm trying to learn. My goal is to get comped cruise, fare or very good discounts. I actually got a comped cruise for interior with Carnival Magic coming up next September, just by showing them a land based player's card!!! I tried to call Princess to see if I could do the same, but they were not receptive. I'm so excited to try your link! I cannot wait to hear how you like Princess because we have never cruised them, and I would like to try them. Thanks a bunch!

@@jenkayla2492 thanks for watching and best of luck!!

Going on my first free cruise in Oct with Royal that I got with an Instant Certificate! Followed a lot of your advise to get there. Made it to 1300 points on my cruise last month and hoping to hit Prime on this next one! Thanks for the advise and tips!!

[@Fantiniastic]

Todd! That's what I like to hear buddy. Makes me happy that my modest knowledge can get people cruising for free. Have a GREAT time!

[@MonkeyLoveTravel]

Mr. Fantini, question for you. Taking our first Carnival Cruise in April. I utilize Casino Royale and Comps for Royal. Is it worth it to do the same on Carnival? How do the points compare and does Carnival do the instant certs for each cruise plus the tier offers?

[@Fantiniastic]

Hey! Awesome, hope you'll love your Carnival experience! Their casino program is quite a bit different from Club Royale but I've gotten a ton of great comps through them. Check out this video on the offers I got and how its different: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hou6qJiooJqFnZY

[@IxDarkxNinjaxI]

Thanks for the info just wanted to say I think you were close to drinks anywhere if you got 5700. I got off my first cruise with around 6k points and they offered my drinks anywhere for 1 and a free ocean view room

[@Fantiniastic]

Oooh that's good to know! Thanks!!

[@ladyjosan39]

WOW!! I sure hope I can re-use my free cruise offer from Carnival! 🤗 You’re right, I have several choices and they are on different months. So, definitely, I’ll keep 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼in re-using my offer. By the way, Celebration has low review rating overall, which made me choose another ship instead. Thanks for the info about food quality! That’s a neat input! 😊👌🏼

[@Fantiniastic]

@@ladyjosan39 use em all! 🛳⚓️

[@fergusryan5464]

Love your post's buddy...keep them coming....I only play table games with RC but I like to here about other cruise lines

[@Fantiniastic]

Thank you!!

[@jasonforsythe3738]

Going on Royal tomorrow. I’m a pretty big gambler so enjoying the videos.

[@Fantiniastic]

Good luck!!! Have fun

[@laraebradford44]

Princess Plus is the best value there is.

[@Fantiniastic]

Larae you couldn't be more right. I was blown away with what I got!!

[@tomenglish8554]

Keep it comming. Great information.

[@Fantiniastic]

Thanks Sir Thomas! See you on Wonder. Really you should come with me on Mardi Gras or Sun Princess though :)

[@Mamabears87]

Does Royal have poker against other players? I've only ever been on Carnival Breeze and they didn't. We are looking to book our next cruise. We would like one with regular poker. : )

[@Fantiniastic]

Hey Laura, they do!!

[@Mamabears87]

@@Fantiniastic Awesome! Thank you for responding : )

[@Mamabears87]

​@@FantiniasticIs it all of Royal Ships or only certain ones? Thank you in advance for any info : )

[@Fantiniastic]

@@Mamabears87 I'm not a poker player so I can't 100% confirm, but I do remember announcements across several ships about it in the casinos.

[@Mamabears87]

​@@FantiniasticThank you for the info.

[@JedadiahDumas]

Can you yell "lets f*cking go" on Carnival like you can on Royal? Asking for a friend.

[@Fantiniastic]

Hahaha I think it's mandatory, Jed.

[@jenkayla2492]

How do you sign up for status match If you've never sailed Princess, do you have to do it when you go on the boat for the first time?

[@Fantiniastic]

@@jenkayla2492 hi Jeanne - thanks for the question. No ma'am, just head to their match site. I'm so excited for sun princess in two weeks, first time on princess!!! princess.medallionclassmarket.com/casinooffer

[@Ambientmopar]

[@Fantiniastic]
