Thanks man. Love your videos I went on Carnival cruise and brought about $1000 to play with on a 4 day cruise. I think I had about 4,000 points by the end of the cruise I got a slip on the door. For a free balcony with drinks anywhere on board for me and companion. And walk off ship with $1400.
Great video Mark, thanks for the tip on the 7 day back to back as im doing that in 3 days. It was nice finally meeting you on the Ruby a few months back. On a side note was i the 50,000 point guy in your video? Lololol it was actually 64,781 total points for that trip. Take care Mark & Jen (California)
I put this comment on a previous more recent clip but wanted to put it here as well as it is more on topic to this video "Just wanted to comment and give all the respect I can to you Mark. I just left the Crown this morning and had a great 16 day on board and did get off the ship with not only more $$$ than I got on with but my 1st legit Princess Casino offer. Mark thank you for sharing your wisdom and knowledge of the "Game" Cuz that's what YOU do !!! Best night ever in my life off a crap table two nights in a row !!!. Hitting my hards and make em all!!!! You are a LEDGEND and hope to sail with you again AND as mentioned ever make it up to the PDX area EVERYTHING is on me!!!!!!"
Ron thank you. You were a pleasure to play craps with. That was a nice hopping hard 8 I threw and you had $50.00 on it for a $1500.00 hit. So glad you a Free Cruise. Call Alan at Princess at extension 11327. He is the best at booking Free Cruise Offers. Thanks Ron for the nice comments. Mark
Thank you, Mark! Learning lots from your videos. I’m a newbie playing at ship casinos and your videos are very helpful. I play slots. My first cruise with Princess was to Alaska this past June (10 day cruise). Was very surprised to find under my door a complimentary interior award certificate with $250 free play. I played a total of $1,500. Needless to say, this gal is not a big gambler! Nor, knows how to. Next Wednesday, flying to the UK to board the Sky Princess on that award. Don’t know how to play table games but will keep in mind your many tips. Thanks!
I had been playing for a bit the other night...and didn't want a bottle of wine...so I went to the host and said, please don't give me a bottle of wine. She asked me what i wanted instead, and I said crown grill. 5 mins later she walked up to me with a crown grill card. :)
21:02 I am going on my first cruise next year. I have a casino host in Vegas. Vegas casino's will comp you X% of your credit line right off that bat. Do you know if Carnival rewards players for getting a line of credit? I see the minimum is $10,000 which is fine with me.
Getting all those free cruises sounds spectacular, but how much did you LOSE in the conquest? How much did you give the casino for those 10 night balconies?
I'll be on a 12 night comped cruise in 2 weeks from London on NCL ( cruise was awarded against a cruise i took in 2019 where my room mate was a 10k gambler). I am from Bulgaria. We don't have access to USD cash. Is it OK to charge 5k to the room on night 1 instead?
I think it depends on how long your cruise is, to be able to stretch out that $500. I know I had about 4000 points by the end of my cruise with carnival. And i played in the casino at least 4-5 hours of playing a day. So maybe a free interior room with drinks in casino and or free play
I know you love Princess, but now that they are cutting back a little bit on you, have you considered scanning those offers and sending them to another line to see if they will offer you something good?
here is something funny. just for the fun of it. i checked on royal carribean and their 274 day world cruise. royal carribean also has a casino royalty program. and no it is not in effect during the world cruise not surpised lol
@@cruisinwithmark so am I right that I'm hearing that you are saying you have to lose money in order to gain points towards a free cruise on Carnival Cruises? I've been watching a lot of videos on Royal Caribbean and doesn't come across that way but is it the same on all cruises you must lose the equivalent of what the cruise is worth that you want to win for free???
From what I’ve picked up is you don’t spend that 5,000. The pit boss has to come over and verify the transaction because it’s a large amount of cash. Remember only bet what your willing to just throw away

How much did you give the casino for those 10 night balconies?
I only lose 10% of my buyin. You need to put a filter on your gambling.
@@cruisinwithmark I agree with the filter. And $300 is a good price for a 10 day balcony.
Keep winning for us.
Mark, do you cruise solo or with someone? Do you have any tips/tricks/advice about traveling solo as a gambler?
I'll be on a 12 night comped cruise in 2 weeks from London on NCL ( cruise was awarded against a cruise i took in 2019 where my room mate was a 10k gambler). I am from Bulgaria. We don't have access to USD cash. Is it OK to charge 5k to the room on night 1 instead?
Spot on Mark
Thank you Chris.
I’m going on Carnival . I plan on bringing about 500 to gamble with. Would that get me anything?
I think it depends on how long your cruise is, to be able to stretch out that $500. I know I had about 4000 points by the end of my cruise with carnival. And i played in the casino at least 4-5 hours of playing a day.
So maybe a free interior room with drinks in casino and or free play
We need a solid recession to lighten up occupancy and then they will loosen up the comps
This is true----Its about Supply and Demand...Simple economics. More people, less perks. Less people, more perks
Another great video, also great to compare “then and now”. I’m ok to lose $1200 per free cruise but that’s my ceiling.
Dont forget...each Princess cruise offer is good for booking 3 cruises. :)
Q- what about a lay bet counting for ratings?
Ie laying $100 per roll to meet ‘black line’ betting, even though the risk is half?
Thanks, Great tips!
I know you love Princess, but now that they are cutting back a little bit on you, have you considered scanning those offers and sending them to another line to see if they will offer you something good?
Good stuff 🎉
here is something funny. just for the fun of it. i checked on royal carribean and their 274 day world cruise. royal carribean also has a casino royalty program. and no it is not in effect during the world cruise
not surpised lol
If you buy in at $3,000 and cash out at $2,500 (trying to limit loss to $500 as you suggest), doesn't the casino only recognize the $500 difference?
yes it only shows that you lost $500.00.
@@cruisinwithmark so am I right that I'm hearing that you are saying you have to lose money in order to gain points towards a free cruise on Carnival Cruises? I've been watching a lot of videos on Royal Caribbean and doesn't come across that way but is it the same on all cruises you must lose the equivalent of what the cruise is worth that you want to win for free???
why would you buy in for five thousand many of the free cruise offers are for cruises that costs less than that
From what I’ve picked up is you don’t spend that 5,000. The pit boss has to come over and verify the transaction because it’s a large amount of cash. Remember only bet what your willing to just throw away
So what you’re really saying is to maximize comps you have to “show” a loss. But not actually lose ;)
You are absolutely correct lol 😂. But don’t show to much of a loss.
@@cruisinwithmark true don’t want to get that “are those chips I’m your pocket or are you just happy to see me?” Comment
Well done sir
Captain thank you as always.
Baccarat on board ?
Mark. What’s your email? Scott and I are on the Crown with Puffy Jacket!
