Casino Question

[MikeTheNFT]

It's been a while since I've gambled with RC and have a question.

 

Can two people use the same account or Seapass card in the casino (for slots)? Or I guess more generally, can they credit to the same account?

[bonsai3s]

Yes.

No.  That being said, if you want to play one at a time, you can just use one card to collect the points.  I also overheard Huggy Bear saying that you could go to guest services, tell them you lost your card, get a new one, and use both to collect points.  Haven't done this myself so YMMV.

As far as I know the lost card is useless otherwise if it's still active anyone can use it.

Hmm sounds like I might need to do some experimenting. 🙂 

 

(two of us are going this trip but the other isn’t really a Royal cruiser so he wanted to just give me credit)

Not 100% sure but on oasis last week everything has gone to tap. So you dont insert a card,  you simply tap it.  So assuming you can tap one machine then go tap another.  Right now its 800 pts for a free cruise and 1500 for premier.  Good time to “buy” a free cruise cheap.

Going on Odyssey in a couple of weeks.  I assume tap technology would be on this new ship.  Will the tap work on a seapass in a clear pouch on a lanyard?

Just want to be 100% sure....if you take money from your onboard account and load to a slot machine that there is no added surcharge.  I hate to carry a lot of cash onboard and really hate paying for the option to lose money!

Yikes, this must have changed since December.  It was 2500 points earned on a single sailing to get a free interior cabin certificate! (apart from the annual Prime cruise in April).  Also, what is premier?

Prime is what i meant.  Its less this year due to gap in sailings.

Yes. We did it in Dec on Mariner and last week on Freedom. Ask for extra card from the casino host. The card is blank but will accumulate points to the original card account. My husband used the blank card in the slots and I used my seapass card.

I did this successfully on Symphony, Allure, and Navigator since the restart.  No surcharge to load from my room charge to a slot machine.

The fee will be charged if you go to the counter and ask for cash off of your onboard account unless you are Prime.  that's how I understand it

But that's NOT what we're talking about.  Apples and Orangutans. 

We're talking about inserting your SeaPass card into a slot machine and transferring money from your room charge to the machine so it shows up on your onboard account / folio and gets charged to your credit card at the end of the cruise.
