Royal Caribbean Free Cruise

Just got back from the Serenade and was given a free cruise by the casino host. Dates on the back are not dates i can use- April, May, and June are packed with business trips for me and the list of cruises stops at June 29th. I was going to call Casino Royale tomorrow and see if there were any dates later in the year that would be available. If not- i don't think i can use my certificate, which is not transferable. Has anyone won a cruise they couldn't use? i hate to waste it, but it is just not going to work with my "real life' travel schedule in the next few months.

what I found out is that if you get the free cruise voucher on board from the host. It is instead of getting the rebate. In my case my last rebate was over 2000.00 so I would never take the cruise voucher, as the club royale typically gives me free cruises and I would still get the rebate. The offer you speak of is only really good if you only gamble a little and your typical rebate might be 2 or 400 dollars, in that case, the free cruise is worth way more than what your rebate would have been.

I received one of these certificates last month, although I couldn't use it either. It's far too restrictive to be useful to me.

I called up Club Royale and still got my rebate which I applied as a payment to my upcoming cruise. There was no mention that the free cruise certificate was in lieu of the rebate.

I've gotta ask a newb question... how many hours and what sorta minimum bet do you need to play to get comped a free cruise?

I'm waiting for this answer too!

For a slot player you need to average 300 points daily which is playing the maximum $ amount on slots. You can play less than the max. $ amount on slots but would need to play for hours each day to obtain those 300 points. For every $5 inserted into a slot machines, you will earn 1 point. For a 7 day cruise you need to earn 2100 points which equals to $10,500.

For table players they are looking for you to play a minimum of $50 a hand.

There is a lot of helpful information in this thread below about RCI Club Royale program.

Good Luck to all in the casino! :)

This is a much delayed response.

ON my 7 day allure cruise I played over 25 hours in the casino at $150 per hand average on roulette. I earned a rebate of over $2500
