Creator's Key Takeaways

It can feel very crowded if you're on the wall side in the evenings. It's hard to get through.

Video poker has changed to earning just one point for every $15 played. That is new for April 2026 going forward.

Icon class ships do tend to be more family oriented trips and a lot of a lot of the casino offers that players get in the mail don't include Icon and Star.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Use low volatility machines if you have a low budget but want to grind out points.

✓Be aware that video poker now only earns one point for every $15 played as of April 2026.
