The magic question, starting at 1,200 pts on a single cruise gets you an offer. 2,500 pts combined in a year 1 Apr to 1 Apr gets you a free 7 day interior.

 

The secret is to keep using your original money by winning and putting it back through the slot machine over and over.

 

You get 1 point for every $5 put into the machine.

 

When you start earning more points, you start getting other random offers.

So i would have to cycle $12,000 through the slots in one tear to get a free interior, or I could cycle $0 through the slots and take that $12,000 to book six interiors a year instead? What am I missing???

You don't lose $12000 when you cycle it through. If the payout is say 80% you would expect to get back $9600 and only lose $2400.

 

NOTE: I just threw out 80% as a round number. I know very little about slot payouts and don't gamble on cruises but I'm aware of the general concept.

Never seen that high a payout on any slot I’ve ever played.

That wasn't the point; that's why I added the note. Based on your post about losing $12K, your payout was 0%.

It’s not about losing $12,000, but risking $12,000 in the hope that your return will be sufficient to warrant the chance to get a “free”cruise. Unless you walk out of the casino with every $ you walked in with, that “free” cruise becomes quite costly.

Wonderful, thank you so much. I am looking at thr June dates. Oddly, there is a 7 day sailing on June 18 and a 7 day sailing on June 22. That math does not add up. They have two different itineraries, but the number of days between those dates isn't 7, hmmm. Am I reading those dates wrong? 

 

Also, wish I could see more of thr itinerary information.

 

Thanks so much for posting! I appreciate your help.

Utopia will move.  There will not be 2 Oasis class ships sailing from PC.  It won't work as Oasis class needs to use T1 and they both can't dock there the same day.

So the theory is that Utopia will move when Star arrives and sail with Wonder, Adventure and Voyager?

Yes

[blueslily]

So, is the T1 terminal that you all mentioned above a nice Royal terminal like the one in Miami? I haven't sailed out of Port Canaveral in many years.

That's a very low payout... But wouldn't surprise me if it's that low on a cruise ship.

 

In Vegas, slots payout in the 90-95% range. Some even higher.

Yes, it is quite nice. Parking garage isn't big enough to handle the number of cars that show up every week, however.

PC already has two Oasis class ships sailing there this year (Wonder and Allure). It works perfectly since both ships are never in port the same day.

It’s nice, but not as nice as Terminal A at Port Miami. For what it’s worth, it’s a lot nicer than Terminal G at Port Miami, which RCI also uses.

You need to read the post that I quoted as well as my post.  I was clearly taking about the fact that there would not be 2 Oasis class ships both doing the 3 and 4 day itineraries out of PC.

Thanks. I watched a couple videos after the post. Yes, I definitely like A in Miami. It's so nice, easy to navigate, and a nice welcome for kicking off a cruise. T1 looks ok. Yes, I went out of one in Miami last December that seemed like it had been around a long time. I forget which one though. Thanks

Posted on Pinnacle members site that Wonder will start 3,4 rotation when star get to Canaveral and Utopia will go to Miami

 

this makes sense, looking out, looks like Freedom is positioning to FLL and doing more standard range/type cruises again. 

[mike45orlando]

So much for that theory.  I am hearing that it is Wonder moving and not Utopia.

[sandebeach]

I just booked a 4-day cruise on Wonder for Dec 15, 2025, out of Miami.

Hearing? The cruises were released last night. Wonder is indeed moving.

[firefly333]

I'm still seeing posts from Galveston groups saying they still hope they get wonder. I tried to explain and some girl posted to me to keep april 2026 open in case they get wonder instead of allure... hope springs eternal and all that.

All these big ships doing short cruises. Man, goodness.

Everyone said Wonder was staying and Utopia was moving, so much for that theory. 

 

Hopefully the Utopia stays in Port Canaveral as long as Wonder..

Another way to boost profits. It’s more money per night compared to the 7 night cruises.

To add to your comment, Utopia and Wonder will be taking a LOT of passengers to Coco Cay twice a week in the near future. Smart move by RCi in my book.
