My math says .80729 or  81%

If you really want to dig deep into this conspiracy theory, I have been told that the slot machine payouts on Royal Caribbean ships are controlled by the aliens. Full government disclosure is being withheld until the aliens can recoup the money they have lost when their spacecraft crash landed in Roswell! If any of the above is true and the payout on a slot machine can arbitrarily be adjusted w/o regulation then the casino patrons are getting hosed. It’s one thing to gamble with the understanding that the house always has an advantage and another to gamble when the casino has absolute control and manipulation of the payout. I would imagine the alien scenario is more likely.

Yes, there will be plenty of newly minted Prime members that will be really angry with this change. I personally welcome any change regarding this program because it certainly needs some work. RC has arguably the best loyalty and suite program in the business but the absolute worst casino players program. I hate to reference the “C” word, however, Carnival has a superior Casino program that RC should model and potentially up their game a bit. 

I heard there will be a couple of changes this upcoming March. There might be a higher instant crusie certificate above the 25k grand suite offer. Cruises have increased in price dramatically which means these cruise offers are more valuable than ever before. So it's only a matter of time before they revamp the system and increase the tier thresholds which obviously sucks for all of us casino cruisers!

Agree, we sailed Symphony for New Years and the crew was incredible. Zero issues! 

Book ASAP. February (depending on how late in the month) will be tough due to Spring Break and it’s still our tourist season down here. Don’t bother with a shuttle, Uber is easier and you can dictate your own schedule. Check hotels in Dania Pointe area which may be reasonable but still close to the port w/ dining exc nearby. 

RC should take the Bahamian gov back to the table and renegotiate the deal. The Bahamas tourism revenue will take a hit and they will be desperate for a deal to keep people visiting that dump. 

So just to clarify, you allowed a misunderstanding regarding some sea pass cards and a “rude” crew member named Miguel ruin a vacation on Symphony? Something stinks of band-aids and burnt hair with this story. 

The bean counters are hard at work and they don’t like giving out free drinks. My guess is between 5000 - 7500 points gets you drinks in the casino. 

I'm also anticipating some changes to the system.  With talk of reciprocity between Celeb and Royal, I would expect any changes to occur at that time.  It's the perfect opportunity to rebaseline.  Yes, I fully expect the thresholds to tier levels to increase.

Anyone else notice an influx of Prime casino players? I can’t help but think RC will be adjusting the point scale at some point soon to level the field. IMHO it’s far too easy to reach Prime level. Perhaps they will keep the tiers but slide the scale to maybe a gap between Choice and Prime of 10,000 points?

I was on Wonder for Thanksgiving and recall seeing all three machines that you mentioned.  Good luck. The road to any significant comp is not cheap and if you are not a gambler/ enjoy gambling then this plan is not advised.

Typical fly by, never to be heard from again.
Btw on Symphony now as well as last week. Crew is marvelous and accommodating.  Ship is in great shape.  Wonderful and approachable Master, Capt Rick.
Things can happen, 2 cruises ago we had no cards on our door, grabbed the first officer I saw, he went to guest services for mehad my cards in under 15 minutes.
