    Wow. Emailed MSC late last night. Kept it simple & just told them I received special offers from a recent carnival sailing but was more interested in experiencing a different cruisline. Asked them if there was anything they could do for us. Woke up this morning to a free balcony & 43 sailings to choose from! THANK YOU FOR THE TIP!

    With Celebrity I called their Blue Chip Program and asked them that way. The rep asked for my crown and anchor number and checked and gave me a Aqua Class Balcony with All inclusive (drink pckg, wifi, tips included) on any sailing 9 nights or less (Note that I did play a lot on my RoyalCaribbean cruise just prior to calling Celebrity way more than the amount I normally play on each cruise, I plan it this way). And I also got a comp'd Balcony with Virgin through Urcomped by submitting my Royal Caribbean offers. Haven't tried the other lines.

    I have been cruising with solely with Carnival and 12 cruise days away from platinum. I spend a lot more than you in the casino, i.e. i earned 6500 points april 2023 and 6700 poinylt August 2023. From casino play. Carnival gives 1 point for every $2.50 played. So yes i played a lot and i do receive free balcony, ocean view and inside cabin offers but very limited dates which dont work.
    Question is does Royal Caribbean offer any kind of loyalty match to Carnival? Do you have an email for Royal that i could write them to see what they can or would offer to me?
    Thanks for the time to read this and respond

    • @Fantiniastic
      @Fantiniastic  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Guy! Wow! So I'm not sure if Royal status matches with their loyalty program, but you could email them at clubroyale@rccl.com. Even if they don't, at your play level you'd start getting good offers immediately, and you'd hit prime on your first cruise which means free drinks! They don't limit you to 15 drinks, and you can get drinks anytime the casino is open by going up to the bar or getting waiter service. Good luck!

    How much are you losing in the casino to get these offers? You obviously did this at the right time as many lines are sailing at less than 50% capacity. A free cruise with you spending on board and casino losses is better for them than an empty cabin! FYI, Virgin Voyages also has a status match program currently open to anyone. You submit your proof from any other line and they will give you their "Deep Blue Extras."

    • @Fantiniastic
      @Fantiniastic  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hey Kathryn, very good question! While the algorithm that Royal Caribbean uses to determine what offers people get is pretty unknown and up for debate, to reach prime, you need to earn 2500 points. I only play slots so I can't speak for table games, but, playing the averages, at 5 dollars cycled through the machine per point, with the payback for machines set in the low to mid 90's, you could expect to lose around $750 to earn your tier credit, which is a free cruise 7 nights or less, outside of holidays. That doesn't factor in luck, or the other offers you might receive in addition to that tier credit cruise. On my first cruise on Freedom of the Seas which spawned 4 cruise offers, I earned just over 400 points, and I was slightly up when I disembarked. Hope that helps!

There were 6 ports and the average price for Land Excursions were $200. I did not join any of them. I did my homework and took bus, Taxi and train my myself to varies attractions. I kept good notes of how I did it. There may be sites that we can share this information. Besides free cruises, I like to save on these expensive land excursions.

      Hi Kate! That's a very complicated question. Officially to get to Prime and a free tier cruise you need to cycle $12,500 into a slot machine. For an instant certificate - about $6000. Email offers are based on time spent in the casino plus points. But with paybacks I manage to earn lots of cruises without a big investment. You can get multiple free cruises from one cruise.

    hello :) deb from tasmania australia :) i have just subscribed to your channel, nice to be onboard :) i dont want this to sound rude or that im asking something way too personal, and i apoligise if it is a bit personal, but i was wondering, just in general (*so not you yourself), but to be offered free cruises from a cruise line via gaming, how much approx would someone have to spend to qualify for the free cruise? i was guessing tens of thousands. also can you build up your points on royal caribbean by playing the pokie machines ?? or is it table games, like roulette, blackJack, poker etc that has to be played onboard? sorry i was just curious :) fantastic video, thanks for sharing :)

      @Fantiniastic  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hey Debbie! Thank you SO much for subscribing all the way from Australia! Definitely one of my bucket list cruise locations (hope they lift covid restrictions for you again soon!). So, if you were to not hit anything on the slots, you would spend $12,500 but that would be nearly impossible! Using the average of 95% payback on machines you could expect to lose about $650 to get your free cruise. That of course doesn't include bonus offers you would likely recieve as well. I do have a couple other videos on the channel about how much I have won/lost, and the ways I play the slots to mitigate losses and increase the amount of offers I get. I'm not sure what pokie machines are, is that slots? I only play slots, I don't play table games. Also keep in mind my experience is in the US, I'm not sure if there are differences in AUS. Good luck and have fun!

They are very straight on that. The problem is I have to pay 20 dollars a day "Administration fees" For a 10-day cruise for two, it is 20X10= $400 total for two people.
