steffenmande Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 I saw these offers on my current cruise and noticed i already for a free cruise point wise which is great! How do these offers work ? Are they a secondary cruise to the free cruise ? Would it cover my girlfriend as well or do i have to pay for the second person in the room? Guessing that i still have to pay taxes, gratuites and fees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoomSlayer Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 You can receive Casino comp offers from time to time in addition to your annual cruise for prime status. Every offer I have seen and taken has been based on double occupancy, so it would include your girlfriend if that is who you decide to bring. You are correct in that you will have to pay taxes and port fees, but the room will be free unless you decide to upgrade. Also, you will still be charged the gratuities as well.

I get these, but on the cruise they have a sign showcasing a comped cruise for X points. Guessing these are additional free cruises vs the Prime ?

Guessing these are additional free cruises vs the Prime ? They have offers based on the amount of points you collect while onboard too. It is not uncommon to see offers if you earn 800 points or more while on your cruise. These work in pretty much the same way and are separate from the annual cruise too. The only real catch is you have to book them with NextCruise while on board to get all the benefits. If I remember right, there is a listing of rewards by points. The next column show the base reward. And then there is a NextCruise column show enhanced rewards you can get by booking with NextCruise while onboard.

WAAAYTOOO Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 There are 3 ways to get a “free” cruise 1. Earn a cumulative minimum of 2500 points throughout the casino year (1 April - 31 March) and receive an annual Prime comp cruise for 2 after the new casino year starts (1 Apr). Higher points earn different club levels and different comp offers. 2. Earn a minimum number of points (there are many offer levels, beginning with 800 points) while gambling on a cruise and receive anything from $$ off to a free cruise. The amount of this award is based on how many points you earn while onboard (which is, in turn, based on how long you gamble, how much you wager and how much you lose). 3. Receive an online offer either via snail mail or email. These offers are referred to as “ monthlies”. You can check your casino account at Clubroyaleoffers.com to see if you have any monthlies hanging out. There are also various third party (e.g., URComped) ways to get a free cruise but those are not affiliated directly with Royal and the requirements vary wildly.

Seems i got two new upcoming cruises ahead of me besides the ones I already booked! WAAAYTOOO and DoomSlayer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCWind Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 Just make sure you book before the offer/certificate expires!!! Ampurp85 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampurp85 Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 So much! My bff mom is upset because even though I told her the certs and offer expire in 30days, she still tried to book today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swar Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 Sometimes the offers are still good past the listed expiration dates. My wife has 2 cruises with expiration dates of 8 December that we could book for first quarter 2023, if we had the time (already have @ 8 booked for that time period). Generally, as long as the cruises are still listed in your clubroyaleoffers.com site - you can book them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can keep checking with the host to see where you are at points wise and get a new cert printed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
