I know the casino Royale will start its new program March 31st , looking at the new rewards program, a person would fall under a category...one being " select " and not receive any complimentary stateroom....prime where I see most people will end up will receive an interior stateroom....signature a balcony....my question is, how can Club Royal say that they are enhancing the program for those who fall into the 5k-15k point category.....it used to be you go on a cruise and get 5k you were given a list of complimentary cruises that you can choose from and would get a balcony. The only benefit I see are for those who gamble alot and take multiple cruises per year, am I wrong?

Yes you are wrong. They will still offer instant certificates from recent sailings. The enhanced program is if you pick up the phone and call you can get onto a cruise and that is the type of stateroom you can expect if there is something available on the date and ship you would like to sail on.

I posted on another thread if you go to the RCCL Blog and search Club Royale you will get a lot of information. I received free wifi, champagne in the room, comp drinks in casino and more. Not to mention a great cruise!!!

They are always sending offers either by postal service or email. I get on average 1-2 per month. We just got off the Adventure of the seas and the new program is up and running. I think they are holding back on the official announcement until next week or the week after to see how it goes. It is definitely a tier program similar to the C&A program. I have a photo of it but have been told there may be changes before it is officially announced. At this time there are four levels. The highest being MASTER, SIGNATURE, PRIME and the last SELECT. For me the most notable item was free internet for one device. I was rated SIGNATURE. The MASTER level gets internet for two devices. PRIME received a discounted internet package but it didn't say how much of a discount. These labels PRIME, SIGNATURE OR MASTER are printed on your seapass card. Other things like complimentary drinks while gaming are the same. Complimentary rooms are Grand suites, Balcony or Inside depending on your tier. There are other items as I said priority check in, waived credit card fees and more. CC won't let me post the link but if you go to the RCCL Blog and search Club Royale it should come up.

Hit $9700.00 on Anthem last summer and $9200.00 on freedom in January. Sat next to a husband and wife that hit just under $15000.00 on grandeur in march. Very happy with machines on RCCL. Don't always win big but the machines seem to pay off. I like the new system. Have been on two free cruises and have two free cruises booked. Will always play enough to win a free cruise. Only need 2400 points on card for free inside cabin. 4800 for balcony. We've always had balconies. Going on b2b in October. Will have two more after that and 5 day in September will get one for that.

We were on the BOS-TPA repo last October and they were working on rewiring the ship for high speed internet. How is the internet? We paid about $240US for two connections and were very disappointed. I use it for mail so I had less problems however my wife struggled with Facebook and trying to download books. Towards the end of the cruise she couldn't log on.

Went down to book same room on brilliance ots repo. Paid 3200. With tips this year to book same room next year 5050.00. Not going to happen

I hit 5x 5x 7 on a WOF for $3000.00 on Explorer in November of 2011. The next year I hit 5x 5x triple bar for $1500.00 on the same machine. Just came off Brilliance and the best I could do was $850.00 on a Double Diamond.
