Creator's Key Takeaways

Basically a comp room that the casino marketing gives you is basically a bet, right? That you're going to come on this cruise and you're going to lose more money in the casino than you would have paid them for that room.

The cruise casino marketing arm will give you the lowest priced cabin in each type of cabins. For instance, if you get a balcony, they will give you the lowest priced balcony.

I think there's a lot of advantage to having each person play on their own card and it just gives you so many more options.

If you do decide to go the travel agent route, you're not going to pay for that. Well, at least with Jesslin and some others that I know, you're not going to pay that they're compensated by the cruise line.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Understand that casino comps are not truly free; you still pay taxes and fees.
Gamblers should use their own individual cards rather than sharing one to maximize potential offers and combine comps.
Use a travel agent who specializes in casino comps to navigate complex booking rules and potential upgrades.
Be aware that 'comp for one' offers still require paying a portion of the cruise fare due to double occupancy pricing.
