Creator's Key Takeaways

We love this program and we've won about 17 free cruises already this year and we've got four more cruises planned before the casino season is over and we're hoping to earn a couple more.

If you're at 2,450 points when you board the ship that day and you make it to 2500 points for your prime, they will put a sticker on your card and you get all of the casino program benefits that are associated with that tier.

The important thing about the casino program is it runs from April 1st to March 31st every year. So it starts over.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Verify all information in the video as Royal Caribbean changes programs frequently.
Use the monthly offer PDFs or spreadsheets to plan which casino points level to target for free cruises.
Call in to book free cruise certificates for better service and to handle any issues with availability.
Track your points and take pictures of slot machine displays to ensure accurate earning.
For couples, both should aim for Prime each year to maximize value from tier benefit cruises.
