Hi All, :) Just wanted to post that Royal Caribbean (Club Royale casino) has really stepped up the offers this year. My last cruise was July 2017. I take about one cruise a year with the hubby. I gamble but nothing too crazy. I had been getting various post cards in the mail reminding me of cruising so I called last month. They looked me up. I had so many offers and I thought I would take the $1000 off one, but then the rep told me about the free inside cabin. That inside cabin deal was not one I was aware of. I said yes - It's a 7 day free (just taxes) cruise on the oasis leaving in a few days. just had to pay $211 in taxes total for me and husband. Just for the heck of it I called last week and asked about a different (outside) cabin. The price to upgrade to a spacious ocean view was only $535 for me and hubby. So I did it. Now I get a call from area code 305 yesterday and pick it up. They noticed I had booked my free inside cabin and wanted to let me know that I have earned a free balcony cabin on a new cruise and did I want to use it. (how did i earn another 100% free cruise...just from that July 2017 cruise???) I talked to my husband and we decided on the Freedom of the Seas since it went to Aruba and Curacao. I booked that for a total of $135 total taxes. That price was for both me and my husband that is $67.50 each for a 7 day cruise out of San Juan - what? I called today and said what is the cost to upgrade to a jr. suite. (on my 2nd cruise booked) Club royale said how did you get this deal, through a travel agent, I said No, you guys called me. Even the club royal desk wasn't aware of the good deals. It was only $535 (again that same number) total for two passengers, so I booked it. Yes I know I could use that money for gambling but I wanted to treat my hubby. Anyway..this post is to let you know that the deals are amazing right now and if you get a call from area code 305, please answer it! And if there is a free cabin deal, use that rather than $$ off. I play penny slots, sometimes dollar no more than $5.00 pull. occasionally I'll play 3 card poker. Can't believe I have two cruises lined up this year and paid less than I normally would for one cruise (two people) And much less if I didn't upgrade. And that is for some pretty average gambling. Btw, I gamble on land much more at Hard Rock Tampa and the loyalty program sux. I got an offer for a 3 piece bbq tool set from them and I certainly have passed through (lost) much more in their casinos than on Royal Caribbean. Note, my husband does not gamble, just me.

 

Excuse my excitement in this post but I wanted to share how happy i was with this loyalty program. Also - Tip - I feel like you have to call different people who may know the deals you have associated with your account. When you call, press #2..that gets you to the US agents. If you press #1, it gets you to more inexperienced agents. Just a tip

Getting ready to call in a day or two. What is the number you are calling? Think I will try it! :)
