At my MDR table, there were 3 of 5 diners on comped Casino cruises. I am afraid they were to aggressive in thier casino offers. We have done 8 cruises in the last 12 months and have paid nothing. Now we lose about $100 a day each, but sometimes we win. In all cases the cruise would have costed more and no free gambling or drinks and we even got owners suite on oasis!!!! Wonder is up next. Since we both get offers we have considered doing 2 solo inside rooms just to make diamond. A one week cruise will do it and just leave the other room empty. I dont think we will though.

Would the latter result in a "single" booking for 2x points? They wont let you as it is restricted to 2 passengers. You have to go the no show route and take the single points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which happened to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soremekun Posted February 16, 2023 #29 Share Posted February 16, 2023 (edited) Is this summary correct? Two booked to a guarantee stateroom: Cannot remove second passenger. No double points. Two booked to a stateroom (not a guarantee): You are able remove second passenger. Will get double points, only if second passenger is removed prior to sailing. If second person is a no-show, no double points. Edited February 16, 2023 by soremekun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone confirm this? I can confirm that when we had 2 people booked in a cabin, and one was unable to make it, the now solo cruiser only got one point per day. YMMV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on multiple feedbacks from folks actually in this situation recently, no. You need to have it booked originally (or rebooked) with the solo passenger paying the solo supplement (in a cabin for 2). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crzndeb Posted February 16, 2023 #33 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Gosh, after reading through this thread, I’m glad I’m a solo traveler who doesn’t gamble, and doesn’t book single cabins. 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YMMV My one and only no show was in June. Technically I got the 2 points, but it didn't really matter since Laura got zero and she's the driver on our overall point total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
