Josh K Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 Hi all, I get a ton of offers on clubroyaleoffers.com but they are always out of Florida/Galveston. If I took my annual cruise from say Italy, and gambled, would I get European departure offers? Do these exist? TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampurp85 Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 The Casino offers are based on availability, and I believe where you live. So, I can't say for certain if you win on a European cruise if you would get offers for that. Money off can be applied to any sailing, the same with annual cruises. But I believe the free cruises will be based on your country of origin and availability. Club Royale might not get a lot of comped European cruises.

DoomSlayer Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 This is just my thought's based on observation. Most of the Casino Comp offers I get have sail dates within a 6 month or less timeframe and tend to avoid black out times. I am guessing they are trying to target more impulsive people to get them (and their money) into the casino rather than to target those that want to plan a cruise experience of a lifetime. For me, it's easy to accept these offers because I live close to Galveston, and have parents that live in Tampa. And if I have PTO available from work, I will go at a drop of a hat on these comp cruises. They are betting on me being excited about playing in the casino rather than being picky about the destination. They are also probably hoping that if they can get a departure close to you, you will have more disposable cash for you in the casino rather than having to pay big travel expenses associated with international travel, airfare, etc. As such, I have 3 cruises over the next 6 months -- 2 of them are casino comp cruises, and one I paid for during spring break with my kids. The spring break cruise I planned for well in advance, wanting to make sure the kids and family had a great time. The 2 comp cruises were last minute decisions based on offers and a quick "Hey Honey, do you want to go on a free pre-Christmas cruise?", and a "Hey Honey, can we go on a free cruise for my birthday?". As a side note, you can book these comp cruise through your TA if you give them the code and they will still get their commission and credit for setting up the cruise for you. I usually do this and have them look for room upgrade opportunities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I’ve taken 5 cruises this year (I blow money every time in the casinos), just getting boring to go to Cozumel and costa maya. I didn’t even get off this last time.

Agree about Costa Maya being a little boring, but I can usually find something fun at Cozumel. I do have a 7 night in May via the casino on Allure out of Galveston that has a slightly different itinerary which includes Honduras. If you do have an opportunity to leave out of Florida, I would advise it at least for a change in ports. I use Dream Vacations as my TA. I found them through my company's partner list. I usually get the casino offer and perks as well as theirs as a TA, meaning usually a little more OBC than booking alone. I also work with a single person there and he knows all my preferences and what I like as far as room types, locations, and dining, so I just tell him what trip I want and he does the rest.
