Casino Royale RCCL and Celebrity Blue Chip

[Caddy928]

Anyone have list of benefits of Casino Royale tiers?  I believe one benefit is free drinks while playing?  And Does Celebrity honor same benefits from Casino Royale while cruising?

There's no reciprocating benefits between Royal and Celebrity's casino programs AT THE PRESENT TIME; it is anticipated that the programs will be merging together later this year, although no confirmation on this.

Where did you hear that?  All I thought they were doing is aligning their points/free cruise processes/offers and their IT.

It is conjecture based on what they are doing. As you see BCC has extended the earnings period AGAIN to March 31,2024 would would mirror Royal's Casino Royale program. If there was no plan to merge programs there was zero point to extend the current earnings period beyond December 31st. It would stand to reason if every single aspect of each cruise casino program is exactly alike, and it's being administered from the same exact office with the same employees, that there would be plans to merge the two programs. They are literally 'Royalizing' Celebrity with small incremental changes (although I would classify going to Coco Cay a very major change). It's clear as day Celebrity will be targeting a different customer and base than in previous years and expand to families looking for a slightly more upscale experience.

BCC extended it to July 31, 2024 which is not aligned with Club Royale.  I really hope they do merge them but I am not confident they will.
