Creator's Key Takeaways

If you live in the US and you mainly want to cruise from Florida, Texas, California, the A-list is probably going to be the better list for you.

I'm trying to all my cruises that I'm taking in 2026 on Royal Caribbean. Trying to see if I can flip the free play that I get to $4,000

Make sure you don't leave the voucher in the machine or someone else can use this. It's as good as cash.

Free play doesn't always get converted to cash. But now we're going to cash out cuz um that is all my money.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check if your casino free play is the 'A-list' or 'D-list' as ship availability and cabin types vary by region.
Always cash out and tap your card or hit 'goodbye' before leaving a machine to prevent others from using your credit.
You can take your casino voucher to the cashier if the machine has issues.
Watch the color of the screen; red indicates you are using free play, while white indicates you are using cash.

How to handle casino vouchersTreat them like cash; don't leave them in the machine and take them to the cashier if needed.
