Perhaps some of the people in suites think enjoyment of the cruise is a zero sum game....and they can't have full enjoyment if the staff is sharing extras with people  ;).  I'm not like that.....then again....the concierge is always like "How come you don't come up to the lounge" when I am on board ship ? and I'm always like "ohh too busy" but the real reason is that it is often filled with people who complain about free bread on a cruise ?

Well....I got the answer on board....you have to play the chips (obviously) but they don't replace the played chips....so you are basically pledging to lose all the chips.
They pay your winnings in regular chips, but I was very upset on board to find out that I bought 2k in chips and every hand I played (for instance I played hold'em and was betting between $75 - $175 depending on the round)....and if i won...I still had all my wager as free play chips that was not converted back to regular chips.  It severely curtailed my play and enjoyment for obvious reasons.  With the way I play I had gone through 2k in bets within 10-12 hands easily (and was technically UP for that first day) but I still had over 1k in chips that I 'had' to play which of course means that after the table luck turns and they go away fast....sigh
It was upsetting enough that I may actually not return to the cruise line again in the future because of the different answers I got on the phone versus on the floor.

Yeah it included the chip order info, and I thought that maybe it was a generic/catch all template....I looked up all my other email orders and the content was all different so another head scratch-er.  The joys of new program roll outs
Doesn't really matter anyway....I qualify for free internet anyway and just needed to visit casino to redeem.
But I'll report back how it all worked out ?
