Blue Chip Club

Hello,

We have previously sailed several times on Celebrity. The last being last June. This year we tried Royal Caribbean because we have our young adult children with us. I enjoy the casino and while at a table on this cruise learned about free cruises for playing. A fellow gambler at the tables let me know and told me to check with the Casino Host. When I did, I had enough points for a free cruise. 
I didn’t know about this last time I cruised. I am sure I would have spent even more on my Celebrity cruise (as it was longer). Is it too late to find out if I earned points?  Do you have to do it in person on the ship?  Do you not get notified automatically if you do earn one?

 

Thanks!!

If you gambled you automatically enrolled in BCC, but Celebrity doesn't have definitive thresholds for a free cruise, it's all offer based.

 

You can email or call them to find out about your membership number (different from CC) and the current amount of points and status level.

There is no guarantee of being notified of anything you might be entitled to with BCC.  Offers are mailed out randomly, if at all, so the best advice is what Fly and Sail mentioned above which is to call BCC and ask if they have any offers showing for you, also good to ask what they show for points earned towards tier status.  They will look you up based on your Celebrity Club ID.

More often recently I have 'offers' they can see but nothing mailed/emailed to me.  It ranges from discounts to free cruises, discounts are often not as good as they might seem as they base them off rack rates minus any ongoing promotions. 

 

Good luck !

That is unfortunate. I prefer Celebrity, but enjoyed ‘earning’ a free cruise!!

Never know, you may have such an offer waiting or in your future for Celebrity.  Your play definitely matters.
