Casinos At Sea Free Drinks?

[earlbird]

Is it true that you now have to attain Ruby status in order to receive free drinks in the casino?

[JGmf]

@earlbird  That is indeed true.

I believe that Ruby status gives you free drinks anywhere on the ship (not just the casino).
 

But it does look like free drinks casino invited guests used to receive in the casino is no longer happening......?

To much has been made of CAS taking away the drink cards.  It really does not matter what level your card is if you play high enough.  I have reached ruby once but most times I am pearl or even jade depending on how many cruises I take per year.  I have never once been denied whatever drink I wanted including Champagne and Louis VIII while playing at table.  Granted this is in the high limit room.  The floor would always just sign for it as I only ever get the basic drink package when I book my room.

Yes.  Ruby  player and one guest have UB on your  keycard  for  drinks  anywhere on board.   It's the  basic  FAS drink  package  but you  are not charged  the 20 percent  fee.

Its a nice perk to have free drinks along with your Ruby status. But free drinks and gambling are a dangerous combination. Believe me.

It's actually more profitable for them to give you free drinks when you thinkg about it.
