A couple of Celebrity questions regarding free cruise offers and perks from the casino

[jrhill]

Hello! On my first Celebrity cruise I gambled like a madman and got only to only 500 points short of Amethyst tier for the Blue Chip Club. When I call they offer me a free cruise! A few questions:

 

1. My offer is for cruise fare only but goes up to Aquaclass. I know in this case, drinks/tips/wifi wouldn't be included like it usually is for Aquaclass, but does anyone know from experience if we would still get access to the thermal suite included? Or any special spa stuff when getting Aquaclass as an offer?
2. The drink packages are crazy, for the basic one it's like over $1000 for 2 people on a week cruise. I also gamble a lot and I know Celebrity gives drinks out to people playing in the casino. But I drink a lot too and would love the drink package. Has anyone ever gotten buddy-buddy with the casino host and been offered these types of perks while on the cruise? It was alleged to me they have a budget per cruise for things like this. If I do get friendly with the host, would it be inappropriate to bluntly ask?
3. Anyone who has ranked up through Blue Chip Club, it sounds like you automatically get a free cruise offer when reaching Amethyst. I only have 24,XXX of the 25,000 points but am getting this offer off "recent play activity". Do you think I will automatically get another free cruise offer once I cross 25K?

 

 

I know these are specific questions but they're ones that can only be answered anecdotally, so anyone that can contribute, I appreciate you!
