Elkins45 Posted April 23, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 23, 2023 I’ve only sailed MSC as a solo cruiser and have paid my fare just like a normal person. My wife is a big slot machine player and so we almost always sail for free on all the lines where we’ve been together. All those companies send her brochures with great offers like free suites, casino free play, free drinks, etc. Usually there are tons of different ships, dates and destinations to choose from. Since we started cruising she’s never paid a cruise fare. They’ve all been comped. We’ve been considering booking an MSC cruise together with the idea that after the first one she will be on MSC’s casino comp list and will get free offers, but that’s an assumption. How does MSC reward their casino big spenders? Is it similar to Princess or Celebrity or do they do their own thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TampaGambler Posted April 23, 2023 #2 Share Posted April 23, 2023 If you send me a DM, I can send you a link for a site that uses free cruise certificates to get you a casino offer on your first MSC cruise. regarding your question, you get points as you play. They have a chart, which you can see, that shows what room you get for how many points. The number changes based off cruise length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

def0715 Posted April 24, 2023 #6 Share Posted April 24, 2023 I posted a photo of the chart that was in the Meraviglia casino (sailed a few months ago) under a thread on the Cruise Casinos board if that’s of any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting...wonder why it would be different on different ships? Perhaps a newer larger ship requires more points?

It still is 10,000 points for a 7-11 day worldwide cruise interior room. The 5000 point free cruise is up to 5 days in the USA only interior room. The 8,000 points is 7-9 day USA only interior room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsanTom Posted April 26, 2023 #12 Share Posted April 26, 2023 I'm not a big gambler, but on my last MSC Cruise I was given a Dinner Certificate for $60. I had only played for 3 hours and won a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slyfox16 Posted April 26, 2023 #13 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Has anyone ever opened a line of credit at the casino, before boarding the ship, and how did you do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it by time spent at various types of play, money lost, etc.? We are not big gamblers but we do spend time in the casino when we need some extra cash for tips. How would we know if we are on the verge of some type of reward and we should keep at it for a little while longer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember how many points I earned but certainly not enough for a free cruise. I noticed one of the men was looking at my play, so that probably initiated the free dinner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kessdarln Posted June 17 #16 Share Posted June 17 Advice, from someone that learned the hard way. Take a screen shot of your points before you leave the ship. I was over 25K by day 5, even mentioned it to the cruise host, and near or over 30k by the last day, now I'm being told I didn't reach 25K. 😢 Not sure what happened to my points. Were they removed when the Host offered me $250 Free Play or $250 Shopping credit? BTW the cruise was awesome, just this NOW issue which I'm not going to fight, just want others to protect themselves if they are trying to reach a goal. 🤗😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily on the Euribia in April they gave me the certificate before we left the ship so it was easy to confirm. However, with the emailing it is hard to go back without proof. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so how much do you need to play to get a point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
