Askmelanie Posted January 28, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Just got back from the Msc Seaside comped cruise from Mohegan Sun. (We paid to upgrade to the Yacht Club.) The casino is small compared to the newer NCL ships, with only penny machines at slots (maybe 2 $1 machines), continuous shuffle blackjack, roulette, and a couple other table games like Texas Hold 'em Bonus, and a game like Spanish 21 without the 10's. There were $10 min tables. There are no craps tables. There were a lot of asian babies machines, quick hits, the locking wilds, sopranos, and 1 penny wheel of fortune machine. Some of the machines had changeable denominations 1c, 2c, 5c and 20c. There were 6 video poker machines unfortunately in the smoking side of the casino, which has terrible ventilation. Their comp system is very different from CAS. They give you a inside cruise certificate after you earn 10k points, and an ocean view after 15k points, and you have a year to use it. They actually issue the certificate to you on the last night of the cruise. Your points don't carry over but you can convert them to free slot play at 500 points to $5. They don't use the points to take money off your final bill, but I did get a comped dinner at a specialty restaurant. Service and staff very friendly and attentive, and the hosts are available to answer questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkbiiii Posted January 28, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 28, 2018 This is great to know, sounds like a good transparent system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dznymom Posted February 17, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Thanks for the info on the casino, I hope you enjoyed the cruise! Was the point system pretty transparent? Meaning is there a set amount of cash in for a point? I'll be doing my first MSC cruise, also comped from MoSun, next month and deciding what I want to bring for a bankroll :) Also, how were they about the comped drinks in the casino? I am wondering if we stop in to pick up a drink before dinner, will we have to settle in and play for awhile, or can we just grab a drink at the bar and move along? Thanks!

We upgraded to the Yacht Club, so we had included drinks everywhere. I'm not sure the exact points per $, but seamed a little better than ncl.

clcjdn Posted July 6, 2018 #6 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Any more detail on the VP machines? Do you know if they were just single line or if they had 3/5/10 play, etc? TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterboy13 Posted July 7, 2018 #7 Share Posted July 7, 2018 They have Ultimate Texas Hold Em, not Texas Hold Em Bonus. (Just got done playing it on the Seaside) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this post was from January but my husband and I just got offers from Mohegan Sun for a free cruise. He got a free oceanview cabin and I got a free balcony. We want to combine them and then upgrade to Yacht Club and pay the difference. It sounds like you did something like that? Can you advise what your comped cabin category was and how much you had to pay to upgrade to Yacht Club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny75 Posted August 31, 2018 #9 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Kind of boring casino without craps players. 3 card poker is the worst I ever played . No bonus bets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenflash Posted August 31, 2018 #10 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Yes, I would also like to know if they offer 6 deck $100 blackjack or 8 deck $50 games. There is no way I would play on a shuffle master table for those denominations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
