Casino royale question

[Cruisegirl6]

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?

I’m on Radiance of the Seas right now and neither the Casino Host nor Casino Manager know specifically how the new program works. All I do know is that points are cumulative so if you’re a VIP, you’ll be a VIP for 18 months, even if you don’t gamble a lot on one cruise. Takes the pressure off for me.

Where are you seeing what the new program is?

[Cruisegirl6]

I heard yes the first year they will take into account 18 months but after next year it will be 15 months then I believe in 2020 every year from then on.

Honestly, most people only go on one or two cruises yearly (at least I think) how is this program benefit us when we drop from balcony cabin to interior?

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!!!

How do you search on the RCCL Blog? I just went to the site and didn’t see any search function.

 

As far as I know, even Casino Royale call center reps aren’t fully aware of how the new program will work. I’ve had 3 reps tell me that over the past week.
