YouTube Video Description

We reached Prime status in Royal Caribbean's Club Royale casino program — and it unlocked 77 free cruise days. But was it worth it? In this video, we break down exactly how much we spent in the casino, what 77 free days actually cost us out of pocket, and whether chasing casino status makes sense for the average cruiser. 🔴 What we cover: - How Club Royale tiers work (Choice → Prime → Signature → Masters) - How many points it takes to hit Prime (2,500 points @ $5 cycled per point) - Our exact numbers — what we cycled through vs. what we actually lost - Every single free cruise we received (ship, cabin type, what we paid) - The honest truth: is casino status worth the risk? 🛳 Our free cruises included: Freedom of the Seas - 5 Nights Radiance of the Seas - 3 Nights Allure of the Seas - 6 Nights Enchantment of the Seas - 5 Nights Rhapsody of the Seas - 7 Nights Radiance of the Seas - 5 Nights Rhapsody of the Seas - 21 Nights (3 Sailings) Brilliance of the Seas - 4 Nights Independence of the Seas - 7 Nights Harmony of the Seas - 7 Nights Voyager of the Seas - 7 Nights 13 Cruises for 77 Days!
